Episode 024: Pump It Up! Strength Training and Leadership with Nick Klein

April 11, 2018

Blog Post: Pump It Up! Why Strength Training is Essential to the Success of Your Health Plan with Nick Klein

Strength training and leadership development may seem like an unusual combination. But as a leader, all the things—career, family, community events, board service, volunteering, etc.—typically take priority over your health and wellness. Without intention and behavior change, the results can be detrimental.

In place of a full podcast episode on this topic, this week I have a blog post for you with Master Personal Trainer Nick Klein of Body By Choice Training. This is the same great interview format that you get from the podcast but in a blog form. Nick and I dig into time and mindset management, goal setting, and how strength training relates to leadership.  Nick also shares some of his favorite resources near the bottom of the post.
