Re-Framing Tragedies, Energy Systems, and Fitness Truths with Celebrity Trainer Ted Ryce
Tragedy is something Ted Ryce knows all to well.
But he refuses to let that define him.
Instead he applies the lessons from his personal journey to his coaching - something he calls "forced empathy" - to be a better coach and better leader.
Ted is incredibly knowledgable and articulate. This episode is gut-wrenching, inspirational, and packed with actionable workout and fitness information that you've never heard before.
You'll definitely want to listen before you hit the treadmill again!
