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.

Hey friends and fam,

On this episode of the podcast, David Weck and I discuss the importance of proper movement mechanics in locomotion and we criticize the fitness industry for promoting incorrect techniques, particularly regarding spinal stiffness as taught through the Pallof press and sawing of the arms during running. We explored various training methods and techniques including “head over foot”, the “double down pulse” and ropeflow all which emphasize natural and efficient movement patterns that have evolved for human survival. If you want to increase the efficiency of your running and you’ve never heard of David Weck before then this episode is for you.

On this episode, I am re-joined by friend Daniel Yores to discuss the key points from my 2024 marathon attempt. Dan is a personal trainer and the host of The Daniel Yores Podcast. He had me on his podcast to ask questions about my training, what obstacles I faced and how race day went. We also briefly discussed what his goals were and what we plan on doing in 2025.

QUESTION — Have you set any goals for 2025? Reply and let me know if you want to share them?
