There's this idea that you need to be at the gym every day to see results. So many people go to the gym several times a week, they work out for multiple hours a day, and it takes up all of their time - and it takes up valuable time that could be spent doing something else... like sleeping. In this video, Matt and Lynn talk about how often exactly we need to work out to see results. And sometimes it's a lot less than you think.

Whatever your ultimate goal (getting a little bit stronger, losing weight, building muscle), we can all agree it requires time and effort. But what is most important when it comes to making progress is how much effort you devote, how good you eat, and how you recover. In this podcast episode, Matt and Lynn share their athlete experience as they talk about body composition and what does it mean? What changes do you expect? And how do you know if you're making progress?
