Strength Training, Weight Loss & the Danger of Negative Self-Talk - With Mike Fostinis #6

Mike Fostinis was my trainer, is my mentor and friend who forever changed my views on fitness. He taught me about the foundation of strength building, the theories behind how to compose your workout plan, the importance of believing in yourself and how to get out of limiting beliefs about your capabilities. I am forever grateful for everything he taught me. I did this interview to share with my audience all the valuable things Mike taught me. To whoever is listening to my podcast and is reading this, I hope you have a great life, a great journey, and may you succeed in becoming the very best version of yourself. Excelsior! Note: I actually recorded this interview on the 28th of March 2021. Why did it take me so long to upload it? Well, I got COVID, took a hell lot of time to recover, then one event after another life happened. I took a year long hiatus from my content creation, but now I am grateful to be back!
