from Doin' the Thing Podcast · host Phillip Macko & Jason Madden

Interned during WW1, circus entertainer Joseph Pilates used found materials and his fellow prisoners as his test lab, and imagined an exercise system that would captivate millions. Imagine the ingenuity now only during a time of war, but amidst a global pandemic, Pilates has shown that survival is predicated upon taking action and leadership. The next time you feel that pandemic Netflix binge coming on, think about what you can do to boost your immune system and protect yourself through prevention beyond masks and social distancing. Phil and Jason take this topic head on.
