Hey friends and fam,

On this episode of the podcast, am joined by my friend Linda Rodriguez for a wide-ranging conversation about her fitness journey which has led to her becoming a Pilates instructor with an online studio which combines Pilates and strength training. We dug into some of the mistakes she made early on such as not being honest with herself about what she really wanted out of her training and not switching it up to match those desires. Linda also shared her fear setting exercise that lead her to start the online studio which is an excellent way to think deeply about which goals you should pursue. This episode offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on training from someone who has been through various different stages and found a sustainable place where she is happy with performance and aesthetics. If that sounds interesting then this episode is for you. Please enjoy and leave a comment.QUESTION — Have you ever tried a Hot HIIT Pilates class?Connect with J-Mart on Social MediaNostr - npub1cqfrrgxs6mwpl2xpmh2kzw322qv2n0e4r65jllzncv65krmvwhnsct3p5uEmail - jmartfit@substack.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jmartfit/ ​X - https://twitter.com/jmartfit Facebook - https://fb.me/jmartmoves ​Medium - https://jmartwrites.medium.com/Time stamp0:00 Preview1:33 Intro3:10 Start of Podcast4:00 Early mistakes in fitness8:50 Transitioning to Olympic Lifting24:35 Strength training phase 32:18 Hot Pilates phase34:56 Personal Training vs Group classes50:44 Built By Linda and Fear Setting58:40 Shortcomings of just strength training1:04:38 Our frameworks for health and fitness1:21:31 OutroListen and subscribe to State of Health podcast on the platform of your choice
