No one wants to feel like a quitter\u2014not in fitness, nor in life. That\u2019s what makes the <\/span>Counseling and Functional Fitness<\/span><\/i> podcast a truly helpful resource. It focuses on the integration of mental health and fitness. Now, that\u2019s unusual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Host Adam Barfoot is a mental health therapist, a mental skills coach, and a CrossFit Level One trainer.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is an excellent teacher, yet his everyday language helps the audience easily relate to his analogies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick any episode, and you\u2019re likely to end up assessing whether your thoughts are dragging you down and holding you back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 25, \u201cLessons Learned from a Half-Marathon,\u201d is my absolute favorite. My hope is that we\u2019ll get more episodes like this one, allowing listeners to hear about the host\u2019s vulnerabilities. We experience Adam\u2019s emotions right along with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

His discussion on pacing is relevant not only to runners, but to anyone longing to set themselves up for success. This episode encourages us to keep putting one foot in front of the other, even if our steps are small.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is clear that Adam puts a lot of thought into the most effective ways to help listeners break through their mental barriers and hit their stride.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to tap into your capacity for growth, take a listen to <\/span>Counseling and Functional Fitness<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
