Summary

Don't ask how long you'll live. Ask how long you'll be HEALTHY enough to enjoy life. What if you assessed your body by what it can DO rather than what it looks like or how long it will last? Is this the start of a newer, better fitness KPI?

Joe De Sena, founder & CEO of Spartan, talks with friend, trainer, and wrestling coach Mike Palazzo about the state of fitness and basic steps anyone can take to make improvements. Including the 6x around the car, take every stair and put the groceries on the shelf workout.
