Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, JD Vance, Elon Musk. Eric Weinstein called them Trump's SuperTicket: his circle of former opponents who set aside their differences, unified under the same banner, and invited their followers to do the same. The strategy worked, winning votes of many who weren't typically MAGA – including fitness superstar Jillian Michaels, who says Trump wasn't her “first choice” but she ultimately voted for him “because I believe in this person so much: Tulsi [Gabbard].” Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and media personality. She created The Fitness App, winning best-of awards from both Google and Apple. Michaels has authored 8 New York Times best-selling books and hosts the Apple award-winning podcast ‘Keeping It Real.' A certified trainer with NESTA, CanFitPro, AFAA, and Kettlebell Concepts, she holds a black belt in Muay Thai and Akauri-Do. She's developed multiple successful wellness products and invested in companies like Thrive Market and AQUAHydrate.

He loves that he can write in the third person, as well as the fact that he literally just used the term "marketing superpowers" in the first sentence of a professional bio unironically. He graduated from the University of Rochester with an M.S in Teaching, Curriculum, and Development and upon graduation, left for Japan where he served as a college Professor for five years in a variety of institutions teaching English as a Second Language, English literature, writing, and other advanced classes. Upon returning to New York City in 2000, he found himself at the tail end of Dot Bomb 1.0, and we all know how that went! He served in a variety of marketing positions beginning in 2001 and was lucky enough to learn the field from the ground up from being hands-on as well as from some incredible Mentors in the field. Along the way--while serving in a variety of higher level positions, he caught the entrepreneur bug and in 2001 (when absolutely nobody knew what a kettlebell was) ended up finding, scaling (with no outside capital), and eventually exiting a leading B2B education company KettleBell Concepts. He's been working alongside Pete Moore--Managing Partner of Integrity Square--as the firm's Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Producer of HALO Talks podcast since October 2018.You can find David here:Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com/Halotalks: https://www.halotalks.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidganulin/

The number of options when deciding what to include in your exercise program can get overwhelming: functional movement, body weight exercises, strength training, cardio, yoga, pilates, crossfit… As a result, it can be challenging to devise a fitness program that’s safe, effective, and maintains your interest long-term. In this episode of The Total Self Considered, Jeff Fine interviews Vincent Metzo, Dean of the Advanced Personal Training Program at the Swedish Institute, Director of Education of Kettlebell Concepts, and licensed massage therapist.  As Vincent and Jeff discuss how to help build a healthy fitness program for 40-60 year-old “weekend warrior” types, they delve into the history of physical education programs in the US, what’s lacking in current fitness and exercise trends, and how important it is for people to have “physical literacy”. They encourage people to shift their mindset from “exercise” to a lifetime model of physical activity that includes locomotion skills, body management skills, and object manipulation skills. The post The Key to Safe and Effective Fitness Programming for 40-60 Year Olds (and everyone else!): Physical Literacy and Mindset appeared first on TotalSelf Counseling & Fitness.
