In this episode, Ashleigh and Rachel answer questions about fasted cardio and their thoughts on male coaches who focus on female clients looking to grow their glutes (there are a lot of them!) 

  • Is there evidence that fasted cardio first thing in the morning burns more fat than fed cardio?
  • What's the balance with cardio that optimizes fat loss without adding negatively to your overall stress load, increasing hunger, etc?
  • And the ladies do their best to convince listeners that more/harder cardio is NOT necessarily a faster and more effective way to burn fat.

We have a fun new sponsor, Cozy Earth - Cozy Earth products are designed to transform your 5-9 (the time that matters most) into the coziest sanctuary. The ladies have personally tested their Bamboo Sheet Set and Bamboo Pajamas and are huge fans - and it's risk-free: Take 100 nights to decide with their sleep trial.
