TMHS 499: 6-Pack Secrets & Getting Super...

SHAWN STEVENSON
About this episode

One thing I love about fitness is that no matter who you are or what your skill level is, there’s always an opportunity to improve. Whether you’re on day one of your fitness journey or you’re a seasoned gym rat, you can always implement new training methods, lift heavier, run faster, and become a better, healthier version of yourself. 

Today’s guest, Don Saladino, has trained a whole host of celebrities and professional athletes, including some of the biggest names in superhero films. He is a true fitness expert, and he’s passionate about helping folks take their fitness to the next level. What I truly admire about Don is his approach—while he knows what it takes to create six-pack abs, he also understands the power of basic foundational movements and he is a believer in realistic, individualized strategies. 

Whether your goal is to train like a superhero or to simply take the first step in your fitness journey, I know Don’s insights are going to inspire you to take action. You’re going to hear the five exercises you need to be doing, how to make personal training personal, and invaluable tips for becoming a stronger you. Enjoy! 

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Why exercise often gets overcomplicated.
  • How to take a more minimalistic approach with your workouts.
  • Why social media often paints fitness in a bad light. 
  • What it means to earn the right to do certain exercises.
  • The importance of having lubricated joints and elastic muscles.
  • Five types of exercise everyone should do.
  • Why consistency is an important piece of fitness.
  • The power of improving your mobility.
  • The most underrated exercise, and how to add it to your routine.
  • Don’s goal for every single one of his clients.
  • What it means to make personal training personal.
  • Realistic ways to get our communities healthier. 
  • How small changes can create big results.
  • Why you should consider making one lifestyle change per month. 
  • The importance of understanding metabolic individuality.
  • Why you need to master the basic foundational pieces of health first. 
  • What a Copenhagen plank is.
