Welcome to episode five of the Kind and Strong Podcast, with special guest Dr. Cillian O’Connor. We discuss training approaches, the benefits of diversified exercises, competitive atmospheres, and the deeper reasons behind people’s fitness goals.
You’ll hear personal anecdotes, a critique of unrealistic training expectations, and an encouragement of varied performance goals to avoid plateaus. We discover the impact of training in a supportive community and recognize the multi-faceted nature of why individuals engage in fitness, and finding purpose beyond strength gains.
