Total Fitness : Speed, Strength, and Sustainability With Iñaki de la Parra
In todays podcast Anthony chats with Iñaki de la Parra, Ultraman World Champ, about "true" fitness. This embodies much more than mere specialisation; it's about cultivating a well-rounded set of physical attributes. This holistic approach encompasses strength, balance, mobility, endurance, and speed, ensuring that an athlete can perform across a variety of disciplines and respond to different physical demands.
Anthony and Iñaki discuss how this approach prepares us for a robust, healthy, and long life, rather than focusing narrowly on one specific skill.
A really fascinating conversation!
