From The Strenuous Life Podcast
Today I chat with Liz Beaver. She's a fitness writer, BJJ practitioner, adventurer, mental health advocate and self-described 'cantankerous bitch'.
It's a wide-ranging yet deeply personal conversation in which we go right for the jugular in many important topics including
- Workout design - Balancing work and workouts using time management - Are there people who shouldn't train in martial arts - Mental health, depression, anxiety and fitness - Suggestions to help overcome mental health issues - The critical role that getting outside plays - Dealing with injuries - And much more Follow Liz on Instagram at @ironbeaverfitness
