We talk about structured fitness, discussing the transformative power of consistency, the science behind muscle growth versus strengthening, and why a diversified workout plan is important.Pain and discomfort often turn people away from regular exercise, but what if I told you that functional movement could be the key to a pain-free life? Edwin and I discuss how pain can stop you from moving and how a functional movement can be your guide to a body that moves with ease.
