Transcript excerpt

I've never seen a runner with a good physique better. Every time you see a dude running on the side of the road, he's always skinny fat wearing some fruity outfit. This right here, this is as good as it gets for the runner because he's in a constant state of high cortisol, high stress, which is turning down his metabolism, which gives him the skinny fat build worse the Chad Walker, just leisurely strolls around burning only fats, keeping his metabolism high.
