Autonomy by GMB Fitness
Autonomy means deciding and moving. Ryan, Andy, and Jarlo aren't here to shill for some stupid supplement company. This show explores fitness as a way to play your own game and do more of what matters, all based on decades of training, coaching, and clinical experience. And truly awful jokes. If you hate every formulaic fitness podcast, you just might be in the right place.

How we keep the basics interesting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We talk a LOT about "the basics," but we also get that literally zero people are out there thinking "oh wow, I can't wait to do basic stuff forever!"
Basics aren't sexy.
They're actually a lot like spinach. You know they're good for you, but you'd probably rather have some fried chicken or ice cream instead.
So this show is about how to do two things that'll help you give the basics the love they deserve without wanting to throw yourself in front of a train:
1. how and why you should cultivate a greater tolerance for boredom
2. lots of ways you can make basic exercises more interesting, even after you've been practicing them for years
Ryan will share some of his tips that have helped him continue to enjoy working on skills like handstands, even after almost forty years of practice.
If you want our suggestions for basic skills to work on while you apply these tips, check out this article.
