226: The Fitness Episode
Description
Nathan brings on two Patreon members - Schnapp and Confucius - to discuss getting started with personal fitness. Starting with the basics, the boys discuss setting reasonable goals and expectations, how to maintain accountability, and how *most* people at the gym are actually surprisingly nice and willing to help you get started. They also debunk common gym myths such as shoddy influencers, protein slop, and how not every training method works for each person the same.Schnapp and Confucius then discuss what got them into fitness, how to acquire home equipment for cheap, unorthodox training tools (sandbags, logs, biking, etc), and accurately tracking progress, as well as how to 'deload’ and give your body a reset. This episode also caps off with a list of online resources to use in your Fitness Journey(TM), which are linked below.
