There’s a difference between fitness and athleticism, and Coach Todd Cambio, CSCS, trains athletes to be ready for anything by improving their strength, speed, and agility. He practices what he preaches, maximizing the benefit of his own training by doing his research, moving with intention, and implementing biomechanical techniques. Whether it’s kettlebell training, Spartan racing, or burpees, Coach Cambio has a highly educated opinion on it (and probably a certification for it, too).

“Everything I do is based on being a better athlete. I train to be better in life.”

We take a deep dive into Cambio’s kettlebell background, athletic history, and thoughts on current fitness trends. He walks us through his corrective process for an athlete with back pain and explains when it’s a good idea to opt for a heavier kettlebell. As an aging athlete himself, Todd has firsthand insight into the process of adjusting athletic expectations over time. While he’s no stranger to intense workouts, he encourages listeners—from serious competitors to average Joes—to know their “why” and train accordingly. No matter where you fall on the continuum, you’ll benefit from this episode.

“You have to know what your why is and why you like to do it and just do it. Get to your destination on the right roads.”
