Episode 2563:

Ben Greenfield challenges the traditional notions of fitness with compelling insights on high-intensity interval training (HIT). He argues that HIT is not only time-efficient but also offers significant health benefits, making it an ideal regimen for those who struggle to find time for prolonged workouts. This revolutionary approach could change how we think about exercise and its integration into our busy lives.
