Why Your Body Is Not Changing

Graham Ambrose and Angus Warburton
About this episode

For years Graham didn’t understand why his body did t change despite all the cardio and gym sessions he did. Now he knows why.

He & Angus discuss the dilemma of the “recreational gym goer” who sees exercise as a chore and wastes their time exercising by making some fundamental errors.
