Then you're in very good company. Fortunately, as fitness expert Mike Bledsoe puts it, \"95% of people in the gym are also insecure.\" Here we delve right into both the insecurity (and how to overcome it), as well as why Bledsoe, who has trained professional athletes, Navy SEALs, and other fitness experts, prefers to work with beginners. We talk about how to naturally boost your T levels (easier than you think!), the specific way our physical bodies store our \"stuff\" (and how to move it), and how to get started if you're not sure what to do first.

What kind of stretches are best? --- Work with us Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action? Jason and I can help you break old patterns and transform your sex & love life for good.
