Recommends it
“When you go and work out, you're going to feel better. You will get energy from working out. If you go break a sweat, you're going to feel better — you're going to get more energy from it. The high-intensity sort of anaerobic blast, whether it's on the bike or on the rower or swinging a kettlebell hard — that last 10, 15 minutes is a really good way to peak my mentality for the day.”
