Episode 011: Daniel Kunitz - LIFT: Fitness Culture from Naked Greeks and Amazons to Jazzercise and Ninja Warriors.

Do you think you can outrun a bad diet? How important is functional strength training with regards to health and longevity?

On today’s episode, I speak with Daniel Kunitz, author of a cultural history of fitness about his book LIFT: Fitness Culture from Naked Greeks and Amazons to Jazzercise and Ninja Warriors. He writes about culture, the body, and art for a number of publications and has stood on the podium three times at the National Masters Weightlifting Championships.

Daniel discusses his journey from an out of shape writer to transforming himself to be better year after year. Why everyone should engage in some form of stretch training regularly and how this determines health and longevity. Plus, why a plant-based diet should form the base for anyone's diet.

For more on Daniel, I highly recommend his book LIFT which is informative and very relevant to the industry as it is seen today.
