Doesn't matter how much of a bad ass you are, how long you've been working out, or how enthusiastic you are about fitness --

You ALWAYS listen to your fitness coach.
A certified fitness coach is trained in human anatomy and physiology, understands different body types and how much to ask of them.

An experienced coach knows how much activity and rest your body needs as you progress and evolve.

Be like Hurricane Harry.
Always listen to your fitness coach.

At BurnCal, even our fitness coaches have fitness coaches ; )
