Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio.

On today's episode I have my good friend and comrade Esperanza Fonseca on the show to

talk about health and fitness from a radical left wing perspective.

We talk about advice for people who want to get into fitness.

We talk about the pitfalls of lots of health and fitness subcultures online, the ableism,

the machismo, the supplement salesman, all the negatives that can come with it and

we try to offer a non-toxic left wing perspective on health and fitness trying to act as an

educational and hopefully inspirational resource for people who want to better themselves

in this way and in the realm of health and to fitness.

We also discuss some caveats a few questions in.

The last thing that we would ever want to do is present this stuff in a way that makes

anybody feel bad about themselves, that makes anybody who is not able to body feel less

than and we go to great lengths throughout this episode to address those caveats and

address those people who struggle with certain things and try to purge those toxic elements

that you often find in health and fitness circles from the discussion and focus on ways

that are inclusive and open to everybody which I think is really incredibly important.

I couldn't have asked for a better guess to come on and have this conversation with.

So without further ado, here is my conversation with Esperanza on health and fitness from a

left wing perspective.

Enjoy.

Hey, Brett.

My name is Esperanza Fonseca.
