Stronger Than Yesterday Martin Blättler

Today, I'm having a special guest on the show: the one and only Marcus Filly.

For those who don't know, Marcus is a former professional
CrossFitter who competed in 6 CrossFit Games. After his CrossFit career, he went ahead and created his own movement called Functional Bodybuilding. In case
you're wondering what Functional Bodybuilding is, and how it differs from traditional bodybuilding or CrossFit, this is something we'll discuss in this episode.

But Marcus is not just a great athlete and a well-renowned
coach; he's also a dad and a devoted husband.

How do I know?

Well, when I asked him about his biggest achievements in life, there was no mention of CrossFit or his fitness empire. Instead, he talked about his wife. It was definitely not what I expected to discuss, but Marcus
ended up sharing deep thoughts about relationships and life.

Don't believe me? Tune in to hear it yourself!

In today's episode, I'm tackling a topic that's close to my heart and crucial for anyone looking to truly improve their fitness and health: the obsession with finding an easy solution or a "magic pill" for getting in shape. It's incredibly easy to get caught up in the latest fitness fads, from the newest supplements to the most advanced workout equipment, all while ignoring the three most fundamental aspects of health: sleep, diet, and consistent training.

Bert knows how to get his kids excited about working out. His daughter, who is only 7 years old, can do 30 pull-ups in a row—can you believe this?

If you’re a parent and want to know how to motivate your children for sports, then this episode is a must-listen!!

After over a year in Thailand, we've now left the country.

Definitely not an easy decision, and to be honest, I already miss it:

The food 🍜, the tropical climate ☀️, the beach 🏖, the warmth 🌡, the friendliness of the people 😊...

The lifestyle in Thailand was incredibly appealing to me...

BUT as a family man, it's not just about me.

There are a few other factors to consider, not just one's own well-being.

Now, in this (somewhat emotional) episode, I share the reasons for the move and where we're heading to next 🌏.

I'm really excited to welcome a Swiss guest on my podcast, and he's not just anyone - he's the World Champion in functional fitness!
