The title of this article was taken from the very question Hugh asked me during his workout last week. For some great background on him, you may want to read this article first. He had just been getting warmed up with his set of squats when he asked those words “Why Am I Doing This […]
Back for her third appearance after two great episodes with me (#66 and #92), Precision Nutrition’s Krista Scott-Dixon returns this week. In this episode we talk about Krista’s experience being the nutrition coach to other coaches in the industry.

There’s a saying in the world of small business ownership: evolve or die. And that saying has embedded itself in my mind since 2009 when “RevFit” started.

I am joined this week by Dr. Quinn Henoch as we dive into the nuance and considerations of how, why and when to stretch.
