Welcome back to Chat Sh*t Get Fit - This week we tackle a listener request and one that has been highly anticipated! Turns out you guys really want to know what we think of these things. All will be revealed and by the end, you should be able to make a more informed decision on whether they are a good fit for you. That's if you can get through all the chaos of course.
We take a closer look at the scientific evidence when it comes to these products, we dive into some listener comments regarding experiences with these products and we also explore a lawsuit involving Vibram and 3.75 million dollars!
We also did our first Twitch live stream and for those that joined us it was a lot of fun - unfortunately, everything on the stream does not make it into this episode (Some stuff live just does not work as something to be kept on the internet for all eternity!) If you want to join us on the next one head here and give us a follow!
