About this episode

Burpees.

You hate them

I hate them

Why? 

Because they are pretty much the best whole-body exercise you can do in a confined space. 

If you had to pick on exercise to do for the rest of your life, bang-for-buck - it's probably the burpee.


But what about keeping your mind fit?

In this episode Osher offers up a technique to train the observing mind to get more involved, more often.

It's simple to learn, and can have profound impacts on how we react to things.
