In this episode, Sean and Will discuss the importance of enjoying exercise how framing working out as something we get to do instead of something we have to do facilitates consistency and potentially greater longevity. Enjoyment of physical activity leads to greater adherence in the long term and playing games like you did as a kid may lead to a greater physical preparedness as we age compared to clocking in and out of the gym doing traditional programs.  

In this episode, we welcome Coach Justin Kuehn as our guest.

Justin is a Strength and Conditioning Coach at North Dakota State University up in Fargo, North Dakota. We quickly dove into Justin's upbringing as an athlete and as a coach, how his influences have been such a positive force with his mentoring, and a bit of how he stepped into the unknown world of training wrestlers at NDSU. Lastly, Justin spoke about the conversations he's been having as of late with his athletes amidst the world pandemic.

I urge you to listen closely to the passion with which Justin speaks about his works. We cannot thank him enough for opening up and sharing his words and thoughts with us.
