RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman
Bill Hartman
Health. Wellness. Fitness. Getting in shape. We talk about such things based on mental models we evolve from our exposure to information, our limited understanding, and what we think is best. RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman will ask better questions to allow you to filter the good to promote better decisions when it comes to your choices of exercise and type of workout you perform at home, on the field, or in the gym. RECON will explore where some of the false beliefs about what, why, and how which exercise is best for your needs to get away from what often holds you back from making the changes and progress you desire.

RECONsider... Taking Responsibility with Bill Hartman | Episode #16
Bill and Chris want you to take responsibility for your failures. It is too easy to chalk up a bad outcome to luck or the fault of someone else.

RECONsider... Movement Variability with Bill Hartman | Episode #15
Bill and Chris begin by discussing jargon and “bad words” when it comes to fitness, health and wellness. Having a shared language is important, but once communication starts to get overrun by buzz-worthy sayings we get further and further away from the realm of the useful. Many of these ideas relate back to movement and the variability of movement, so the main theme of the episode starts to solidify around that. What are your intentions? Where do you want to end up? What are the trade-offs associated? These questions are what tend to be most important for progress.
