We’re going a bit off the topic of myths this week, because so many of you have been asking me, in terms of fitness, health and recovery, what is the long way home?  What does that really mean?  And I get that, because a goal needs to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely otherwise it's just this obscure, arbitrary, vast unattainable thing way out in some time in the future, maybe never. My guest today, Amy Kate Bowe is a Strength and Conditioning Coach who was once like me and many of my clients, followers and listeners.  She found herself at the bottom of the pit and had to get back up.  You might see her on instagram doing all these completely amazing things with her body.  Hanging, rope climbing, handstands, beautiful clean and snatches and with this beautiful athletic body, but one day she got injured and she had to start all the way from the bottom.  What happened to her was not able to be overcome in a 12 week transformation or by setting an aesthetic goal. She had to take the long road home.   Now in her Warrior School, she coaches women all over the world, to do just that.  I have had the pleasure of working alongside Amy with some of her clients and I have seen first hand, their leaps and bounds forward in not just making aesthetic changes to their bodies, but first and foremost increasing their capability, capacity and performance for life, like no other. In this episode, we discuss. Building a strong body from the ground up The short way home vs the long road home. A little bit about both our journeys to recovery. Stepping outside the Aesthetic  Its ok to have aesthetic goals Aesthetics Vs Performance Functional Movement Technique Owning the Movement Cardio vs Strength What we see on insta vs real life Realistic training for Mums, exercise intolerant and busy women.
