Ben Barker is back for another Ask Us Anything. How do you tell the difference between real overtraining and just being tired and needing to push through? If you genuinely hate running, do you have to do it at all to get the cardiovascular benefit? And should a 46-year-old be running the same program she ran at 30, or is "train differently as you age" an excuse people hide behind?
Jesse and Ben also get into how each of them structures a day to stay productive, and close it out with the worst fitness hype they ever bought into — plus a lightning round on the best movie physique of all time and their biggest gym pet peeves. Two dads, no script, just real answers.
