How to stay active when you have little kids, the 7 times rule, and training for your hobbies with LWA Coach Chris Heskett (Ep. 204)
Description
Today we have another special guest on the podcast, Chris Heskett. Chris is an assistant coach and head of operations at LWA coaching.
Chris first started his health and fitness journey back in 2005 when competed in cross country and track in high school. He had the opposite goal of most people, and that was to build muscle. This led him to have a passion for health, fitness, and nutrition and he decided to go to school for exercise science instead of pursuing a degree in art which was recommended by his teachers.
While in college, Chris had the privilege to work as the strength coach for a DII women's basketball team and did a strength and conditioning internship at Bucknell University. After graduating from Bloomsburg University, Chris worked as a personal trainer for the next 8 years working mostly with men and women over 40.
After Chris's wife became pregnant with their first daughter, Chris left the in-person training world and entered the online coaching space in 2021.
Chris's goal with clients is to find balance in their life for long-term sustainable goals so that they can enjoy life while improving their health, mindset, and can escape toxic diet culture.
Chris has competed in bodybuilding, dabbled in powerlifting and strongman, and currently pursues his passions of cooking and the outdoors
