Cultivating strength is a huge emphasis here at GMB. More specifically, we advocate the cultivation of functional strength. In other words, donโ€™t just get stronger for the sake of getting stronger. Get stronger for the purpose of applying it to the aspects and activities of life that matter the most to you.ย 

On this episode of the GMB Show weโ€™re happy to be able to talk again with Ryan Ford, from Apex Movement, a parkour and athletic training center in Denver, Colorado. Ryan dives into the concepts of cultivating functional strength both physically and mentally, especially from his experiences in Parkour training. He also opens up on how to apply that cultivated strength in all aspects of your life. Ryanโ€™s a big advocate for cultivating strength of the mind as a large part of physical strength, and that parkour can help people experience the discomfort and challenge that is necessary for growth.ย
