SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
We're back with another guest for our muscle series—we've got James Fryer, a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, to go even deeper into abs and core.
In this eye-opening episode, James and Alex dive deep into utilizing your diaphragm, pelvic floor, and abs together during ab training, breathing exercises, and how pregnancy and beer guts are actually very nearly one and the same. Plus, we go through some common misconceptions and training mistakes.
