Episode 6 - Fitness Beyond School Gyms

I Figured Out, I'm Grown

Ever thought about how your fitness regimen changes when you swap college sports for a 9-to-5 and a family? Grab a drink and join the camaraderie as my pal Leander Kelsey Jr. and I, Ben Ford, muse over the trials and laughter that come with chasing the elusive grown-up work-life-fitness balance. This isn't just about mourning our athletic glory days; it's about celebrating those small victories against the "dad bod" and finding personal fulfillment on our own fitness terms—no gym selfies required.
Amidst nostalgic tales and sips of freedom, we tackle the tough questions: Can you really outrun life's treadmill of responsibilities to carve out gym time? Leander and I swap stories that zigzag from the deceptive allure of supplements to the comic woes of shopping for tall-people clothes. We're peeling back the layers of the fitness onion, exposing the glossy, filtered veneer to reveal the raw, sweaty truth. It’s about more than muscle—it's about fitting into the driver's seat of your life.
As we wrap up our fitness odyssey, the spotlight turns to the lifeblood of any workout routine: motivation and accountability. From the trenches of my own gym ownership, I share the secret sauce to keeping your fitness flame alight. We round out with a nod to the unsung heroes of the gym—the social butterflies and the focused warriors—and share a fist bump for those just taking that first step on the treadmill. So, lace-up, tune in, and let’s journey together through the maze of adulting with health in the driver's seat.
