This episode of the Agora Bodkast was produced in collaboration with Kelli Michelle (KMF) and some of her clients.

After listening to this, you can't say you don't have time anymore for this stuff!

We actually recorded this one over the summer but we kept having on awesome guests, and so we wanted to push their episodes ahead of this one. Here, we talk about how to design your own exercise program specific to your goals. We do have a bit of a powerlifting/bodybuilding focus, but take what we talk about here, and you can apply it to your own style of training. That I can assure you!
