Fitness for Life with Mark Sisson

Today we are welcoming back Mark Sisson. Mark is the author of The Primal Blueprint, Primal Endurance, and The Keto Reset Diet, among several other books. He is also the founder of Primal Kitchen Foods and Primal Health Coach Institute. This episode is part one of a two-part series on fitness. But not just any fitness, Primal Fitness! Mark was a world champion endurance athlete until he realized that the way he was feeding and treating his body was mismatched from what his human DNA was expecting. This kicked off his exploration into discovering the pertinent human diet, movement, and lifestyle inputs. Mark has been entirely ahead of the curve in rethinking how we approach fitness. Rather than taking on the "no pain, no gain" mentality, Mark's Primal Fitness approach involves the very fundamentals of human movement. These fundamentals include low-level aerobic training, strength training, and very brief, very occasional, all-out efforts like sprinting. Keywords here being short, fast, and occasional. This cocktail of movement is the foundation of his Primal Fitness approach, with play and recovery layered in to keep it light and enjoyable. All of this is presented in our newest course offering at the Primal Health Coach Institute, the Primal Fitness Coach Certification course. If you've been looking for a more sustainable approach to fitness you won't want to miss this episode. Check it out below!
