What if working out was about more than the workout? Each week, writer and fitness enthusiast Sebastian Langdell talks to an author, musician, comedian, filmmaker, or other creative about their exercise routine, athletic passions, approach to nutrition – and, most importantly, how their fitness practice fuels their artistic practice. You’ll hear about how boxing and bouldering boost mental health, long bike rides offer a shortcut to transcendence, and getting physically stronger leads to more ambitious art. By the end of the episode, you’ll be inspired to both hit the gym and write your novel. Have someone you’d love to hear discuss their workout routine? Email us at secretlysportypodcast@gmail.com .
