Tweetable Quotes
“I think it is important to have dynamic movements for your warm-up because that will actually get your body warmed up. If you do just static stretches though, that can sometimes lead to injury.” (03:56) (Susan)
“I try to avoid supplements to be honest. My biggest thing is I want to eat really well. I want to eat clean, but it’s also ok to have ice cream here and there.” (05:03) (Susan)
“My husband drinks these protein shakes after every single one of our workouts. And, even to this day, I tell him, ‘Why do you need that? Just eat real food. Eat an apple with peanut butter.’ But he has a different mindset than myself, so it’s ok.” (05:38) (Susan)
