Understanding Stretching and The 9-Point Flexibility Test with Dr. Leo Kormanik Running Specialist

Welcome to The Mind Body Marathon: the podcast that puts you on a path to a healthier lifestyle–whether you’re a daily runner or just finding your footing.

Running is one of the best forms of exercise to improve both your mental and physical health, leading to stronger cardio health, more sleep, higher energy, and even stronger immune systems. But it’s not the only way to get healthy. This podcast will explore running as well as other exercise, health, and wellness topics that relate to nearly everyone.

Hosted by Dr. Leo Kormanik, this podcast will offer insights into getting or staying fit without the risk of injury, tips and tricks for improving your health for the long-term, and a deeper understanding of health trends and fads that may or may not be beneficial for you.

The goal is simple: to help you better understand both your body and mind so you can live a healthier life. 

Dr. Leo is a sports chiropractor, running physiologist, and former elite runner with a marathon time of 2:18. His career is focused on helping runners, athletes, and workout novices improve their performance and reach their health goals while reducing the risk of exercise-related injuries. 

Each week, Dr. Leo and his guests will be exploring topics that are relevant to fitness newbies, elites, and everyone in between, including:

The doubts and anxieties that hold us back from our physical and mental potential
Differentiating between injuries and muscle fatigue to speed up recovery and avoid greater damage
The myths and facts surrounding current and past wellness trends, such as ice baths, saunas, cupping, acupuncture, cryotherapy, and hyperbaric therapy
Fitness goals (and how to reach them) no matter where you’re starting out

Your health is a marathon, not a sprint, so start taking the steps to better long-term health. The Mind Body Marathon is here to help you set the pace.
