Welcome to the Mind Muscle Podcast where there's nothing new, except all that has been forgotten. Join host Simon de Veer, a personal trainer with over a decade of experience working with real people from all walks of life as he breaks down the historical, philosophical and scientific connections that fuel some of the biggest fads in fitness today. Completely independent, Simon helps his clients reach their goals by finding out exactly where they want to take their fitness, and ensuring they have a workout routine and diet that moves them closer to that goal - but it goes even deeper than that. The Mind Muscle Podcast is a space in which Simon is able to passionately educate and often debunk the ever changing landscape of the fitness industry. From learning about the history of diets and exercise, to how you can genuinely apply this advice to your own health and fitness, The Mind Muscle podcast is here to help you actualize those goals in an informed and enthusiastic way. Remember, your mind is just as much of a muscle as the rest of your body and it should be treated with the same amount of respect. Join us on a new fitness journey, where the end result isn’t just getting ripped, but learning about how and why you got ripped in the first place. Maybe the information about all this isn’t that new either, maybe it has just been forgotten.
