A Classic Rewind: 161 Funny Running and Thanksgiving Thoughts (w/ Alyssa Limperis)

Happy Thanksgiving BellBabies! The Bells got a special one for ya this week! It's Stanger and McGown holding down the fort again this week and they are joined by the delightfully hilarious comedian and actor Alyssa Limperis! The group gets the talk going quick. Erin and Stang get the skinny on Alyssa's background and find out how she reluctantly became an all-America runner! She tells how she continued to run until an injury stopped her (has she fixed it yet??) Finally the group talks about where she is now and they each share their thoughts on how to have a healthy but still fun Thanksgiving. Last, they all answer a listener question about how to put weight on and increase max lifts. Alyssa is the funniest! "Happy Thanksgiving!!!"

Love it, no notes. Been listening for years, it’s silly but reminds me that exercise exists. Stanger and Erin delight 😃

Why does Erin always sound like she’s a WWE announcer when she’s introducing guests?
Thank you Dumbells!

This podcast inspired me to join a gym and get in shape after 10 years of inactivity! The main reason to listen is that Erin and Stanger are funny and have great chemistry. Also they know a lot about fitness and diet.
