Description

While intense physical exertion can build character, the transcendent joy of movement matters too. So how do you unlock the happiness, freedom and childlike wonder that exercise offers?
On this episode of The Blueprint, pro cyclist turned podcaster Anthony Walsh joins me to discuss leveraging fitness for fulfillment beyond sculpted physiques. We also discuss aligning your life and schedule with your values and what matters most.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why the joy of training is often deferred, emerging after we push past discomfort
How to rediscover the pure freedom of movement from childhood
Why consistency matters less than finding activities that make time fly by
How to let experimentation and play guide your fitness journey
Why health provides the foundation enabling us to show up for everything else in life
How to align your schedule with your values and priorities

Whether you feel disenchanted with exercise or simply strive for deeper meaning, this thoughtful conversation offers ideas and inspiration to enrich your relationship with fitness. Tune in now to rekindle your innate love of movement.

That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce
