Pilates, yoga, running and swimming each give you something strength training can’t. The guys break down the one thing each does best: Pilates for core and pelvic floor connection, yoga for breathing and calm, running for keeping a basic human skill, and swimming for low impact cardio you can do for life. They also talk about Vita Bella’s founder calling every California customer himself, the best selling book of all time, a podcast invite that turned into a paid pitch, new sponsor Unconditional dog food, an Idaho dad who fought a black bear, and a tragic story from Highway 101. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
