   The Journey to Health and Confidence with Ron Radvinsky

   Life has many twists and turns that can significantly impact our wellness – if we let it. But although health adversities and other obstacles can challenge our ability to maintain our fitness, overcoming these issues and getting back on track truly make people winners. Ingrained & Balanced is a podcast about health, fitness, and a well-balanced lifestyle. On this episode, hosts Lonnie and Marty are joined by Ron Radvinsky. Rod has experienced his fair share of challenges in his physical wellness journey, but together he and the hosts discuss how showing up and putting in work has helped him succeed. Listen to Lonnie, Marty, and Ron discuss the benefits of getting back on the track to wellness Introducing Ron (0:05) This episode begins by introducing special guest speaker Ron Radvinsky, who joins the episode to share his incredible story. Ron has experienced some ups and downs in life but always finds a way to get back on track and overcome adversity. Today he is here to discuss what triggered them to get back on track and the healthy habits that help them maintain their wellness. This starts with Ron sharing what he did this morning regarding a healthy routine. He explains that most mornings, he visits the gym and makes himself a protein shake as fuel to move him forward throughout his day. Gymtimidation and Getting Started (3:06) Earlier in life, Ron experienced gym intimidation. This is common, especially for people like Ron, who found themselves dreading P.E. growing up.
