Have you ever been unable to train (or unable to do the things you’d like to do) due to injury? How do you minimise the risk of it happening again?


And if you’re fortunate enough to have avoided injuries completely, what sorts of things can you do to ensure it stays that way?

This week we’ll be joined by Exercise Physiologist John Paul Catanzaro, together with Strength Athlete & Personal Trainer Josh Hewett looking closely at these and a whole lot more. Fantastic.


NB : We’d love to hear your questions and comments. If there’s a particular subject you’d like John and Josh to address, just swing by the event page for this Gymchat and leave a comment or jump in the Hangout and ask it directly.

And if you’d like to point your friends/colleagues to the discussion, just use the ‘share‘ button at the top of that page. The more the merrier.

Who : Exercise Physiologist John Paul Catanzaro, Personal Trainer and Strength Athlete Josh Hewett, and You
