Description

Have you ever considered fitness as a means of self expression? It’s something we certainly encourage here at GMB. There’s great freedom in allowing yourself to move in accordance with how you decide to move - creating your own flow and routine. On this episode of the GMB Show, Jarlo dives deep with Dr. Mark Cheng, acupuncturist, FMS/SFMA practitioner, and StrongFirst instructor. Mark and Jarlo look at what it takes to find this path of true self expression and how you can experience this freedom for yourself. Mark has a multi-faceted background in martial arts and fitness studies. And as you’ll hear, he credits those different explorations with leading him into honest self expression. You’ll hear: 2:30: How and why Mark strives to be real on social media. 10:35: How he got into martial arts and studied with some of today's living legends. 21:20: Some of the lessons that newcomers to martial arts should understand. 31:00: How the human body is meant to move around and adapt to changes. 38:45: When and why a feeling or perception can be just as important as measurable results. 48:15: How misconceptions about movement can lead to pain. When you do find something that resonates with you, I cannot put it to words how rich that experience is going to be for you.- Mark ChengSupport the show

Autonomy means deciding and moving. Ryan, Andy, and Jarlo aren't here to shill for some stupid supplement company. This show explores fitness as a way to play your own game and do more of what matters, all based on decades of training, coaching, and clinical experience. And truly awful jokes. If you hate every formulaic fitness podcast, you just might be in the right place.
