Speaker 1 (00:00):
Heyteam, indulging in the extra carbs and one or two
or four desserts is nothing to be ashamed of. Gone
are the days where we're beating ourselves up to enjoy
a holiday and eating more calories than we burned. In fact,
the way I see it, you strategically geared up to
crush your workout the next morning. If there's ever time
to throw your program out the window and go for

(00:21):
a new pr in the rack, it surely must be
the days following Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you've been slow
to return to the gym post holiday, fear not for
returning to routine is within reach. Here are three ways
to get back on track after you've given yourself the
holiday you deserve. Number One, Hydrate. It's time to flush
the system. Aim for eight cups of water a day,

(00:43):
with your first being right when you wake up. Your
body does a lot when you sleep. It repairs muscles, organs,
and cells, and serves as the most efficient and cheapest
recovery tool. Hormones and proteins are released, hence why sleeping
is crucial to muscle gains and toxins are flushed from
the brain. Starting the day with warm or room temperature.
Water with a dash of salt helps restore electrolyte balance

(01:05):
from the execution of these processes. And if you are
the cook when a little too salty on the holiday,
it's important to counteract the access sodium. Water is the way.
Number two move shocker, I know. Remember set the timer
for five minutes to give yourself a fighting chance. Ninety
nine percent of the time you're going to be inclined
to stay moving past the initial five. If you're still

(01:26):
not feeling it, lower the intensity or op for a walk.
The important thing to accomplish is blood flow. Turn off
the TV. It'll be there when you're done. Go move
in a way that feels good and gain momentum. And
number three eat clean ah alas the hardest to reel in.
Once the sugar train starts, It's tough to reach for
the emergency break. Snap the cycle by prioritizing protein and

(01:47):
fibrous foods, both of which provide you with the highest
nutrients and keep you fuller longer. Perhaps the leftover green
means that got the short end of the stick against
their matchup with the potatoes. I hear their tears from
the back of the fridge, chasing goals is a full
time job, but getting to the finish line requires a
few breaks. Remember to keep that in mind as you

(02:08):
cross the finish line until next time.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
