In this long overdue episode of Kinsei-Do Corner, I sat down (again) with the always amazing coach Dansen, and we went - literally - to the bottom of so many health and movement problems: the foot!

Whether you're a functional fitness enthusiast looking to improve your performance, a hobby runner, a parent concerned about your child's physical and mental development, or just someone who wants to live a long, strong and healthy life, you'll find something of value in this episode!

Dansen and I dive in to a variety of questions, such as:

Hello, and welcome to Season 2 of Kinsei-Do Corner, the functional fitness podcast coming to you directly from Jakarta, Indonesia!

In this episode, I sat down with Jonson, co-founder and coach at Nirvana Strength Bali, an absolute dream of a functional fitness and mobility training facility, and we spoke about his journey from a CrossFitter, Weightlifter and functional gymnast to where he is now. 

Unfortunately the connection was not great during our conversation and parts of the episode are a bit choppy, but I hope you can still catch the gist and the message that Jonson has to convey, as it is absolutely worth listening to!

In this episode, I sat down with not one but two unbelievable humans, though you'd be forgiven to think they're actually cybernetic organisms, human tissue over metal endoskeleton (say it with a thick Austrian accent for full impact ;)): Coach Lucas from Bengkel Tetuka (3rd time guest!) and Coach Ryan from VPT Gym in Malang.

This conversation was extremely wide ranging, from their takes on the health and fitness scene in their respective East Java island cities to the world of online vs in person coaching. Both Lucas and Ryan are very successful doing what they love, helping their clients and of course, they're also incredible athletic machines themselves.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I sat down with Halim (@halimspurnomo), a former member at the gym I used to coach at, Stronghold Fit n Punch, and previous online coaching client of mine, to have a chat about how things have been going for him since the unfortunate gym closure almost a year ago. Halim has not let these circumstances set him back though, and has been diligently and consistently putting following the GYMLESS training program (by the awesome folks at @theprocessprogramming) for more than 8 months already, and his results speak for themselves!

For anyone out there who's been out of the gym (or just making other excuses!), check out this episode to be inspired and raring to get back to work!
