The 2 step process is actually fairly simple. Just start when you're ready and stop when you're done. There are of course a few nuances that will tell you when it's a good time and how you can make time be more on your side, but it really all boils down to the one thing that people aren't talking about as much as they should be. Judgment and kindness (or lack thereof) because of it.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

What's better to have? Strength or Flexibility? A client asked me this question the other day and I'm going to answer this once and for all. As a world champion powerlifter, I might have a thing or two to say about this.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Wanted to talk about kindness and judgment today and how we all should aim to be more like Brandt Jean. Brandt is the brother of someone who was the victim of what people call a hate crime, but his reaction to his killer is not one that most people would expect.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

I'm back, but I can't say I really am...yet. Still ironing out a few things here and I just haven't had time to sit down to record something as thoughtful as I would like.

This is an interesting episode. As the season finale, it couldn't have been any more perfect. I had one hypothesis about the topic going in and in my discussion, decided to reverse course and take the complete opposite position. Should be interesting to listen to. Enjoy and hope to see you next month --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Core is super important to how you move and how you breathe (!) If your core isn't strong, is dysfunctional, or imbalanced in any drastic way, you're bound to run into injuries. In today's episode we're gonna talk about why the core is important and how you can strengthen it.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Pain is weakness leaving the body. Now the thing about that is, that pain is super uncomfortable so nobody really wants in their lives. Some people tend to have it and ignore it, others try simply cope with it, but the thing that will make you stronger is dealing with it and excelling and growing because of it. A pinecone doesn't turn into a bigger pine cone. It has to change and develop so that it can be a big strong tree and you have to grow and develop so that you can be the greatest version of yourself.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Today was a magical Monday. Two very special people named Bob were talked about shortly after their death. One of them being my friend's father and the other, a former fire chief for the firestation I volunteer for. It was a very special day overall and today I want to leave you a reminder that the best way to live forever is in people's hearts. This episode is the audio for the dedication the current fire chief gave to a previous one who passed recently. May these two great men rest in peace.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

Been thinking about doing this one for a while. This is a meditation on something that famous historian Will Durant talked about in his book about historical philosophy.

We put a bow on our last two conversations by talking about the overarching theme of having boundaries and more importantly, having an awareness of what you value.
