One of the best movement coaches that I've gotten to brush shoulders with in my career and fellow fitness podcaster brings his thoughts to the table over a bourbon.
Our question was simple but the answer complex:
Which kind of goal is more worthy of pursuit - Performance or Aesthetics?
In our years of training we have both worked to steer our clients in the direction of performance goals, however as we dive into the question, you'll be fascinated to find the merits of each!
Get ready to get strong, endurable, powerful, flexibile, and agile -- AND look good doing it!
