This week we have Charlie Ottinger and discuss various topics related to exercise science, fitness, and personal training. They touch on the importance of simplifying complex information for clients, the influence of pop culture on fitness trends, and the need to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application. They also explore the challenges of motivating clients and finding their deeper reasons for pursuing fitness goals.

The conversation covers the basics of human movement and the importance of mastering foundational movements.
