On this episode, Dr. Ellington Darden joins us. Growing up in Conroe, Texas, in the 1940’s and 50’s, Dr. Darden developed a passion for resistance training. He fueled that passion with both education and practice, and has devoted much of his life to helping people better understand exercise and health. 

He has written over 40 books on exercise, resistance training, and nutrition! He was honored by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports as one of the Top 10 health leaders in the United States. After meeting Arthur Jones, he joined Nautilus Sports where he served as director of research for 17 years. On today’s episode, he shares with us what is like to grow both in age and professionally with the paralleled rise of resistance training in the US and offers reflections from over 50 years in health and human performance. He is a true trailblazer for resistance training, health, and fitness!
