I LOVE Ron Jones
This man has single handedly saved my life. I’m a 16 year old mother of 4 and I’ve found purpose in my life thanks to this podcast. Because of this I found the motivation to purchase apple stock while on the run from the FBI for multiple felonies. Keep doing you Ron Jones
I love this stuff!
Learning about my body and how it works is so valuable. Ron’s fundamentals approach inspires and educates in a way that makes me want to get out there and move….more freely, with more fun!
Ron knows his stuff
Probably the most knowledgeable human being alive when it comes to classical P.E. and the history of physical culture.
