About Kinsei-Do Corner - the Functional Fitness podcast with Coach Jo
The functional fitness podcast with Coach Jo, coming to you directly from Jakarta, Indonesia. In this show I sit down with coaches, athletes and fitness enthusiasts from the city and beyond, and we speak about all things health and fitness!
Episode 75 with Adrin (Kinsei-Do Corner): From Soldier to Entrepreneur - Redefining Fitness for the Long Game
Adrin is back! It’s been one and a half years since we last spoke, and today we’re diving into how his definition of wellbeing has evolved from the rigid structure of the Singapore Army to the chaotic, high-pressure world of entrepreneurship.
We break down the unique challenge of "Reservist" life—the annual return to duty and the looming pressure of the IPPT (Physical Fitness Test)—and how that "test-based" mindset influences his training. More importantly, we discuss why the "all-or-nothing" approach is a trap for busy professionals. We wrap up with a crucial conversation on the importance of partner alignment—why having your significant other on the same page is the ultimate hack for making fitness a permanent lifestyle, not just a temporary phase.
Whether you're a former athlete or a busy professional over 35, this episode is a masterclass in building sustainable performance.

The wait is officially over. At the start of 2025, Wita and I sat down on this podcast and predicted that Hyrox would absolutely explode in Indonesia.
One year later, with the inaugural Jakarta event finally here next week, that prophecy has been completely fulfilled.
To celebrate, Wita returns to Kinsei-Do Corner for her third appearance, bringing the invaluable experience of competing in eight different Hyrox races across Asia.

We bypass the generic advice and dive straight into the practical, battle-tested strategies you need for the final week of prep and the race floor itself.
### What We Cover in This Episode:
The Mental Game: Wita’s golden rule on why you must avoid "panic training" and overthinking in the final days. We discuss how to strike the perfect balance between execution confidence and pacing caution.
The Final Week Protocol: Exactly how to manage your taper, including nutrition adjustments (carbo-loading and electrolyte strategies), scheduling crucial rest days, and keeping the legs fresh with light, low-intensity maintenance runs.
The Doubles Dynamic: Key communication and rep-splitting strategies to ensure you and your partner maximize performance without redlining each other.
You have already put in the hard miles and the hours of strength work. Now, it is time to trust your training, manage your emotions, fuel properly, and execute your game plan.

Episode 73 with Jeannine (Kinsei-Do Corner) - Raising Driven and Active Kids: Role Modeling, Motivation, and Fitness
In this episode of Kinsei-Do Corner, I am joined by my colleague, friend, and recent Fitbuller Showdown teammate, Jeannine.
While we both love pushing our physical limits in CrossFit and hybrid racing, this conversation shifts the focus from our own training to the legacy of health we pass down to the next generation.
As active parents, we dive deep into the ultimate parenting challenge: how do we raise kids who are intrinsically motivated to move, eat well, and chase ambitious goals?
Jeannine and I explore the power of parental role modeling. We discuss what happens when children grow up seeing a dedicated, active lifestyle not as an obligation, but simply as the daily family norm.
Jeannine shares invaluable insights and personal anecdotes from raising her 18-year-old son and teenage daughter. We talk about the importance of early exposure—how introduces children to a wide variety of sports and activities allows them the freedom to discover their own unique passions.
Whether you are a parent trying to inspire your children to step onto the sports field, an educator invested in youth development, or simply passionate about long-term family wellbeing, this episode offers practical, heartfelt wisdom on raising the next generation of resilient, healthy, and driven individuals.
