Now, more than ever people want to become strong and healthy. But people are also extremely busy. What is a good workout-life balance in your opinion?

 

People work from home now more than ever. It’s crucial to get our people off their desk and get them moving. We offer 30 to 40 min workouts, which is a “little” shot of energy you can technically take every day if you want to. It’s a crucial time for people to understand they don’t have to spend 1 hour training. Better do less and show up for yourself more often!

What’s a mistake you see get made all the time, even by very smart people? What have you learned from that to handle it the right way?
