Getting The Body You Want (and Is That What You Really Want?)

By Andy Fossett

fitness nutrition resulting in absBe honest, you’ve probably had this thought:

I wish I could have the body of an Olympic gymnast.

Well, there’s a few good reasons you may want to reconsider, and we’ll cover them in this episode, along with our usual mix of brilliance and inanity.

Get your ears on, ’cause here it comes.

A few of the topics covered:

  • Andy’s new “adjician”
  • More Parallettes Two info
  • Why “specialist bodies” have specialist weaknesses
  • The hidden conceit behind wanting to look like a gymnast (and why you should let it go)
  • How to train in a small space
  • Where to hang gymnastic rings
  • How to tell whether or not you should hire a coach

Links we discussed:

  • Bronze Medal Boner
  • Watch the Paralympics!

The Future is in YOUR Hands!

Left to our own devices, we’d soon be churning out episodes on the sorry state of Mexican cuisine in Osaka. Answer these questions and tell us what you want to hear:
