Yuri Elkaim

And now for a Chubby Jones first: I had the pleasure of interviewing health, fitness, and nutrition expert, Yuri Elkaim. The former pro soccer player is also the New York Times best selling author of The All-Day Energy Diet and The All-Day Fat Burning Diet.

I know that, like me, a lot of runners got into the Couch to 5k program as part of an exercise and diet plan – so I wanted to ask Yuri for his expert advice to help aid us in our health goals. He provided some great info, including ways to exercise smarter, things to avoid, and the best news about carbs I’ve heard in a long time (and gives me the perfect excuse to use my Oprah gif again)

I can’t lie, it’s been a week of ups, downs, nausea and fireworks. It was about as mashed up as the insanely great Jay-Z/Dolly Parton mash included in this mix. The weekend is here, it’s hot as fuck outside, so may as well sweat with these tunes in your ears.
