We tackle the everyday fitness questions everyone’s thinking about — pre-workout vs coffee, how many rest days is too many, whether showing up beats the perfect workout, if walking the dog counts as cardio, the minimum it takes to stay in shape, and what we’re actually listening to in the gym. Real talk, no hype, just fitness that fits real life.
