Season 3, Episode 2 of Let Me Introduce You dives into the boxes we put movement (and ourselves) in—performance, aesthetics, “I just like to move,” and health. We tease apart how these categories can help, how they can trap us, and why the best training plan might simply be… to play.

In this one, Jen admits she’s more “flip upside down” than “athlete,” and Adarian counters that athletics is just movement—an expression like dance. We talk access (why people do what they can reach), competition (maybe it’s just the desire to be noticed), and why gyms should feel like playgrounds instead of rule books. Also inside: the origin story of Adarian’s simple fitness app idea, and Jen’s quick tip about using the heel and pelvis to make step-ups click.

Takeaway: stop pigeonholing yourself. Walk into the gym and explore. Try the barbell. Toss the med ball. Mess up. Learn. Repeat. Movement can be free—and fun.

Hit play, share with a friend who’s stuck in a “program or bust” mindset, and tell us what category you’ve outgrown. 🎧
