Embracing Personal Choices in Health and Fitness

Being in “good shape” doesn’t just mean changing your diet in pursuit of unrealistic standards of thinness; it means challenging your body to be more capable today than it was yesterday. In recent years, weight lifting has been catching on as a primary exercise focus for both men and women who are trying to live healthier lifestyles. This week, Adam sits with Casey Johnston, author of A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting, to talk about the gains that can be made by breaking out of diet culture and lifting instead.
