TMHS 280: Exercise Secrets & Building Superhero Bodies - With Celebrity Trainer Don Saladino

When everyone shows up to the theater and sees their favorite superhero on the big screen, we are just seeing the end result of an incredible process. Superheroes, and champions alike, are made when no one is watching. When the lights and cameras are all off, the best of the best are putting in work. But not the kind of work you might think of…
