He has authored several bestselling books and has a prime-ranked ancestral lifestyle blog. His upcoming new book, Born to Walk, will be a must-read for everyone in the new year.

We discuss the difference between having the ability to run and running, looking at why running is counterproductive for fat loss, and how cushioned shoes can restrict movement, especially in the ankles, knees, and hips. We also dive into the benefits of walking and the role of strength training, HIIT, and VO2 Max. Join us for this informative conversation where Mark Sisson offers invaluable insights for the coming year.
