Ep. 13 | Breath Mastery and Asymmetrical Training For A Lifetime of Fitness w/ Bill Maeda

Bill Maeda is a 53 year old personal trainer who has developed a specific training method incorporating asymmetrical loads, rotational movements, and specific breathing patterns. His methods have allowed him to achieve and maintain an absolutely incredible physique, impeccable movement quality, and a more robust and functional life all while staying injury-free well past the half-century mark.
