Hey legends,
This week’s episode is with the wonderful Dani Antonellos, who is a WBFF Bikini Pro, co-host of the Level Up Podcast, Dr. of Osteopathy and on a mission to teach people that movement is medicine - for both the mind and body.
I absolutely LOVED this episode - it was really cool to dig into some really important topics around injury management and prevention as well as correct training protocols - including warm up and activation to help YOU get the most out of your training! Selfishly, I basically got to quiz her for an hour on my own injuries! Dani is one smart cookie and I was so grateful she shared her knowledge and expertise with me!
Dani is also running a series of workshops round the country over the next few months around everyone’s favourite muscle group to train - the glutes! So if you’re interested in knowing more don’t forget to check out the links below to do so!
