Josh quote: “We do not stop exercising because we grow old, we grow old because we stop exercising.” - **Kyle quote: “**There is no tomorrow!” What has us excited or intrigued: Client shoutout: Lisa Weekly questions: Question 1- Where are you guys at with wearables? Have you changed anything up and what data do you look at specifically? Question 2- What is your response when people ask you why you go to the gym/what the goal is? Someone asked me that today, but in a way where the question hinted at when I’d be done going…which is odd to me haha. So I just said “to be fit and healthy” and that it’s a lifestyle. I guess it’s more odd to me that people don’t see exercising as part of life. But I’m curious what you say to people when you get that question. Question 3- Is creatine safe? Thanks for listening!
