Passion vs Obsession, a Plan for Getting Pull-Ups, the Real Definition of Competition, & More

We’re examining the challenge of maintaining our priorities and values when facing criticism from those close to us who may not fully understand our lifestyle choices. We’re also answering questions from listeners looking for guidance on topics like achieving fitness goals and improving recovery practices.

Expect to Learn:

• Concrete steps to set and achieve a goal like weight loss or increasing pull-ups
• Simple yet effective at-home recovery methods

• Signs your passion may be tipping into an unhealthy obsession
• Actionable ways to live balanced while still chasing excellence
