I’m very honored to welcome Vince Sant onto the podcast today!
Vince Sant is the co-founder of V Shred, the well-known online health & fitness brand that has helped more than 5 million people get in shape, and achieve life-changing results. He’s also the founder of Sculpt Nation, and host of the V Shred: Better Body, Better Life podcast.
In today’s episode, Vince and I discuss the evolution of fitness culture (we both started around what we like to call the ‘golden age’ of fitness), and fitness myths, such as ‘lifting heavy will make women big and bulky’.
We also dive into the importance of finding the right type of workouts geared to YOUR goals, why resistance training matters for your long-term health (especially for women), how crucial the first 30 days are on your fitness journey, and more.
This was such a fun, inspiring, and no BS conversation with sooo many amazing takeaways. I KNOW it will motivate you + be super impactful for you on your fitness journey!!
