Rucking and Kettlebells: An Ex-Gym Goer’s Journey

In this video, I share my personal journey evolving from traditional body-building to focusing on functional strength and overall health. My fitness transformation began after a wake-up call when I realised I wasn't functionally fit despite my physique. My fitness strategy shifted to more practical exercises like rucking and kettlebell training that seamlessly fit into my daily routine and catered to my real-life goals. I also emphasised the importance of foundational strength to prevent frailty and injury, counteract muscle and bone density loss, and maintain overall fitness. The video concludes with me expressing how my approach to fitness has transformed, focusing more on functional strength and overall health rather than physical appearance. I encourage the audience to integrate fitness into their lives in a sustainable, efficient, and enjoyable way.
