Lessons from a Barefoot Bodybuilder

– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 162 with Amira Lamb

Amira Lamb is a fitness pro with close to 30 years of experience in the industry. Amira's love of movement began as a child when she studied gymnastics and dance. But it was the fitness pros she'd see on ESPN in the 80s and early 90s, like Bess Motta, Gilad Janklowicz, and Tami Lee Webb, who inspired her to pursue a career in fitness. While earning her Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from UMASS Amherst, Amirabegan personal training and leading high-energy group fitness classes. She also competed in bodybuilding, winning her first show when she turned 35 and soon after achieving "Pro Status" with the IFBB federation. For Amira, the invigorating feeling of exercise and its positive impact on the body drives her to help others find love in fitness and an appreciation for what their bodies can do. Amira has been an advocate for minimalist footwear and training barefoot when possible for many years.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Amira Lamb about being a barefoot bodybuilder.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:

- How sitting on the floor can be more beneficial than sitting on furniture.

- Why becoming a professional bodybuilder can be expensive.

- How you must incorporate nutrition into your fitness routine to see results you want.

- How there are different exercises you can do to strengthen your feet.

- How being a bodybuilder means having your entire day, including what you eat, planned out.
