Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Peter waffles about Micro HIIT, and explains why you should almost never train at 100% intensity. Not because you're post-natal but because training at 100% is counter productive for almost everybody.
And we're talking about the importance of an expert being an expert on what they're commenting on before it's worth listening to them. Confused yet?
