In case you’ve never thought about this, we have some breaking news: the idea of ‘fitness’ is manufactured. We often get so caught up in how to workout and what to do to stay fit that we forget to ask ourselves WHY we are doing any of this at all. What is a push-up and who decided this was what we should do with our time?

In this episode, Ryan geeks out about these questions with James Fitzgerald, Winner of the 2007 CrossFit Games “The Fittest on Earth,” founder of OPEX, and industry-leading educator. Through OPEX Coaching Education and Gyms, James educates thousands of coaches around the world each year through a dynamic digital platform and live courses.

James and Ryan chat about:

  • why we move or train at all
  • programming just outside your comfort zone
  • the 6 basic movement patterns and how to assess them
  • maladaptive strategy of surviving vs. learning
  • how to find true autonomy

Just because something exists doesn’t mean you should do it. But stick this one in your earhole; it might change the way you think about your training.
