Eep!! This is an exciting guest, y'all. Dr. Jinger Gottschall is one of my fitness heroes and is soon to be one of yours, too! If you've ever taken a LES MILLS workout, she has influenced you.
Jinger S. Gottschall, Ph.D. is a technical consultant to Les Mills International and has a long career in fitness research that keeps general populations safe and active. She earned her doctorate in integrative physiology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She served as a postdoctoral fellow in neurophysiology at the Emory School of Medicine and as an Associate Professor in kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University. She was also the founder and co-owner of FITOLOGY, a group fitness and research studio.
In Part 1, we discuss her fitness origins in summer swim league and her sprint to triathlons. We learn how she got started in group fitness, her bravery to ask a question, and how that question changed her life forever.
