New Media & the Big Ship of Fitness

Mind Pump host and fitness/wellness guru Sal DiStefano sits down with Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena to talk about new media, the state of the fitness industry and what you can do today to be stronger and healthier.

This week we have Sal DiStefano back on the podcast, discussing the platforms of “new media” and their role in shifting the “big ship” of fitness.
