On this week's programme I speak to online strength and fitness coach Mike Vacanti who runs the On the Regimen website. He also has his own YouTube Channel, which contains hundreds of vlogs and videos about health and fitness. I speak to Mike about his own physical education and about his participation in the Ultimate Sweat Challenge. Among the topics discussed are:
His own physical and health educationWhat would he prioritise in a physical education curriculumWhat kept him motivated to continue with sport through his teen years and beyondWhat would he say to a child who works hard at sport but who is never picked for the teamHis thoughts on motivating people who are not interested in physical education to be more participative in the subjectHow he plans videos on his website to make them educationalHis role as mentor for the Ultimate Sweat endeavourWhat he learned as mentor for the Ultimate SweatWhy consistency trumps perfectionMike referred to websites he finds helpful in the areas of nutrition, fitness and strength. They include:
