Spiritual Growth Means Taking Care of Your Fitness, Too!

Mar 04, 2025

Did you ever hold yourself back from getting fit because of how you view it? What if it didn’t mean  punishing yourself with extreme diets or endless burpees?  I had an enlightening conversation with Coach Josh Wood, a fitness expert from Tasmania who's challenging conventional wisdom about what it means to be "strong for life."

As someone who has maintained a daily exercise routine since 1967, I deeply resonated with Josh's practical, science-backed approach to fitness. In our engaging discussion on my show, Josh shared invaluable insights that I'm excited to share with you.

Here's why you'll want to watch this episode:

✅ Learn What "Strong for Life" Really Means

Josh explains his refreshing philosophy that focuses on building strength to keep doing what you love for as long as you want. It's not about crushing yourself in the gym or following the latest fitness trends - it's about creating sustainable habits that enhance your life, not consume it.

✅ Discover the Truth About "Eating Like an Adult"

You'll hear Josh's fascinating perspective on nutrition that strips away the complexity and dogma. His approach isn't about good or bad foods, but rather making conscious decisions about what works for your body and goals. As he explains, the changes can be remarkable - within just 2-3 days, you might notice reduced brain fog and water retention.

✅ Get Real Talk About Popular Fitness Trends

Josh doesn't hold back when discussing overhyped fitness trends like burpees and ice baths. His practical analysis of why these trends might not serve most people is both enlightening and entertaining. You'll learn what actually works instead of wasting time on ineffective exercises.

✅ Practical Solutions for Busy People

As a father and coach, Josh shares actionable advice for fitting fitness into a packed schedule. His minimum effective dose approach shows how even 10-15 minute segments throughout your day can maintain and improve your health.

I particularly loved Josh's "playground test" concept - it's such a simple yet powerful way to measure functional fitness. Can you play with your kids on the monkey bars? If not, why not? These are the kinds of practical questions that can transform how we think about fitness.
