About this episode

Steve Kamb of Nerd Fitness talks about embracing who you are, even if you're a mutant

Episode 2248: Are You a Mutant? Embrace It by Steve Kamb of Nerd Fitness

Steve Kamb started exercising back in high school without really knowing what he was doing. Through high school and college, he made every training mistake known to man and got zero results. It wasn’t until he graduated college and learned the right way to train that he started to see positive changes.

He's a nerd, but likes fitness… so why not combine the two and turn life into one giant video game?

And thus, in the fall of 2009, NerdFitness.com was born!
