Episode 155 - Time-crunched Gym Sessions, Gravel and Marathon MTB on a Time budget, and Does Mowing the Grass Count as Training?

I’m your host, Adam Saban, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about how to program your gym sessions to maximize your limited availability, marathon mountain bike and gravel training on a time budget, and whether or not those manual labor chores around the house count as aerobic training?

In this conversation, the hosts discuss various aspects of fitness, particularly focusing on how to balance family life with workout routines, effective gym workouts for those with limited time, and the importance of strength versus aerobic training.

The discussion also touches on managing training volume and intensity, the importance of periodization, and the value of non-traditional workouts, all while maintaining a light-hearted tone.
