We have another returning guest, Andrea Flemming, who is not only the host’s mentor and friend but also a multi-passionate serial entrepreneur now venturing into fitness programs. Our discussion kicks off with a reflection on Andrea’s fitness journey, highlighting her transition from a fitness skeptic to an advocate, particularly for women in agriculture. Andrea shares her personal battle with anxiety, depression, and her initial distaste for physical exercise, tracing her path to finding joy in fitness through weightlifting over cardio.
More in this episode: importance of fitness in the agricultural sector, addressing the physical demands of farm work, and the benefits of strength training and core exercises.
Andrea emphasizes mobility, stability, and strength in preventing injuries and improving daily functional movements. We encourage listeners to find a fitness routine that fits their lifestyle and to continue exploring until they find what works best for them.
