2021 has arrived, and with it — a lot of us are setting some big goals as well as new year's resolutions. This week on Hurdle, I'm releasing five back-to-back episodes as a part of the "In Focus" series, chatting with top experts about some of the most popular, frequent topics in wellness that many set goals around time and time again.

For episode four of the series, I'm chatting about the importance of strength training with Gunnar Peterson, CSCS, personal trainer (with celebrity clients including Khloe Kardashian and Lindsey Vonn), and former director of strength and endurance for the Lakers. In today's episode, the conversation kicks off with us chatting about the importance of movement as a whole, but really transitions into the beauty of strength training and how to get into it. Gunnar recommends how often to incorporate it for newbies, some great exercises to kick us off, and some insight into best-practices for endurance athletes. 

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 17. Gunnar Peterson, Celebrity Trainer
