I'm joined once again for round 2 with the great and powerful Dan John. On today's episode we discussed: 

  • Experiences and lessons learned from fitness events, including a memorable trip to Disney World for an RKC certification

  • The evolution of workout culture, from the "burn" culture of the 1970s-80s to the rise of high-intensity training and functional fitness in the 2000s

  • The influence of the internet on the fitness industry, including the emergence of HIT and kettlebell training

  • Misconceptions about lifting weights and bodybuilding, and the importance of proper form and technique

  • The potential pitfalls of relying on AI-generated workout programs and the need for specificity

  • The importance of community, mastery, and looking back to move forward in fitness and personal growth

  • Recommendations for simple, effective workouts and the benefits of walking, eating vegetables, and getting good sleep

We also talk about:

  • personal growth, fitness trends, and the importance of community and mastery in exercise.
  • the value of setting achievable goals, tracking progress, and finding joy in the journey.
  • the significance of introspection, attitude, and proper technique in exercise.
  • how small improvements in various aspects of life can lead to significant growth and improvement
