Habits and Hustle

Want to build muscle and lose fat effectively?

In my Fitness Friday episode, Ebenezer Samuel, the Fitness Director of Men’s Health and Head of Training Innovation at FlexIt Fitness, discusses the myth of toning and getting shredded. We also discuss the concept of “calories in; calories out” and what it gets right and wrong. Tune in for actionable diet and muscle-building tips!
