About this episode
Combining the two things we actually know: how to set goals and how to workout!
In Episode #224 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's new focus on cooking, my recent points in the fitness challenge, reflections on mistakes we made for this years fitness goals, how we would start over give the chance, some advice for beginners starting to workout, the mechanics of swimming properly, why curiosity killed the cat and some shoutouts to people who deserve it.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
