About this episode

Wondering how to kickstart your training after a long break? Is gym shaming a good or bad thing? What would I be doing with my life if I hadn’t started Legion? 

In this episode, I address these questions and more, sourced from my Instagram followers who participate in my regular Q&A posts.

As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories.

Your question might just make it into a podcast episode!
