John Turman is 3rd horn in the Seattle Symphony and Horn Professor at the University of Washington.
He's also a badass powerlifter and fitness coach who can lift a seriously impressive amount of weight.
I was excited to speak with John about his fitness journey and how it interacts with his life as a busy professional musician.
Some topics covered include:
~How John used exercise to reduce music-related aches and pains
~How John got into powerlifting (and why he loves it so much)
~What types of exercise musicians should do and why
~Making time for exercise when you have a crazy work schedule
~The similarities between fitness coaching and teaching music
~Advice for musicians who are just getting started with lifting
~How being strong and fit has helped John become a better musician
This conversation was so much fun for me and John, and I really hope you enjoy it!
