Listen "Fitness Is More Than Just Building Muscle! Our Thoughts On "Optimization" Culture"

Episode Synopsis

We're seeing a trend in fitness right now where some coaches and trainers are bashing certain exercises because they're not "optimal" for muscle growth. In today's episode we discuss how this is a reductionist view of fitness and really minimizes it down to just aesthetics without seeing the bigger picture. We also share how we actually do enjoy a lot of the "optimal" movements when sprinkled in to a well-rounded program, but just wish there was more nuanced discussion around why and when to use them!Links and Codes:RISE ProgramVivo Barefoot: Use code PAK10 for 10% off your order!Legion Athletics: Use code PAK20 for 20% off your first order and double loyalty points for subsequent orders (equivalent of 10% cash back)Free Downloads: jasonandlaurenpak.com/free-resourcesFollow Us:Reasonably Fit Podcast IG: @reasonablyfitpodJason and Lauren IG: @jasonandlaurenpakTikTok: @jasonandlaurenpak
