Episode notes
Turning Point From A Client's Results
- Steve shifted from training for looks to training for health after a client stopped blood pressure meds through weight loss and exercise.
- That moment drove him to study deeper connections between fitness and disease outcomes.
Ready-State Fitness Concept
- Ready-state fitness means balanced capacity to join typical activities without pausing to wonder if your body can handle it.
- It emphasizes strength, mobility, endurance, and VO2 max rather than specialty peak performance.
Start Achievable And Build Consistency
- Start with what a person can already do and avoid losing that capacity; build progressively from there.
- Make the first sessions extremely achievable to preserve consistency and prevent discouragement.
