Metabolic Resistance Training for Fat Loss

My mentor and good friend Craig Ballantyne has a new program that I highly recommend. I know many of you have asked me why I’d want to promote someone who has a program that completes with my own. Truth is, I’m all about getting you results. There’s so much fluff out there, I want to … Continued

Hard Way to 100
