39-year-old cyclist Svein Tuft, pictured above, is known as one of the most tenacious, tough and aggressive professional cyclists in the Tour De France. His name has become synonymous with a spirit of against-all-odds tenacity, and perhaps most amazingly, he began entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most riders have their first race. It was an unorthodox start to his professional career. His name has become synonymous with a spirit of against-all-odds tenacity, and perhaps most amazingly, he began entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most professional cyclists have their first race. So Svein is one unorthodox guy. He's also a friend of Barry Murray, the ketosis expert, fat-burning efficiency coach, and endurance athlete who joined me as a podcast guest for the episode Five Simple Steps To Turning Yourself Into A Fat Burning Machine. And perhaps because of that connection, Svein has some other interesting techniques that you'll discover in this episode, including:

-Why Svein began his entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most riders have their first race...

-The unconventional diet Svein follows...

-As an "older" competitor, Svein's most effective recovery tools and techniques... -How Svein handles the mental pain of cycling...

-Svein's special routines and habits...

-And much more! Do you have questions, comments or feedback for Svein or I about this episode? Leave your thoughts at BemGreenfieldFitness.com and one of us will reply!
