Physical fitness is valued in Western culture, but it's often the aesthetic benefits - rather than the mental and overall health benefits - that most people seem to be after. While we know the positive impact that a physical fitness discipline can have, we often undervalue its role in reducing stress, creating mental clarity, and generally making us think and feel better. Getting to the gym or just going for a walk often becomes a “should do” instead of a “need to do”. But when we step up to the challenge of building a physical fitness discipline, we can realize that the benefits can be life-changing.
That’s the story for Joel Prior: a former paramedic turned personal trainer and health coach. When Joel moved with his wife and kids from Ontario to Newfoundland, it was his fitness discipline that kept him mentally strong despite the challenges of building a life in a new location.
In this episode of The Akkeri podcast, Joel shares what that experience was like along with examples of his fitness discipline as he trains for a marathon and works with clients to reach their health and fitness goals.
