Description
Today I am joined by Jonny & Yusef from PropaneFitness. The Fitness Menopause is a concept we've been talking about for a while. It describes the transition from bro (or chick) lifting to a more rounded fitness regime as you leave your 20's or 30's behind and start to fully indulge your true exercising passions. Expect to learn why you might lowkey hate the exercise routine you're following, the story behind each of our journeys through TFM, why you have to serve your time doing brolifting first, why girls who are dancers should change their training immediately, and much more...
