Eventually, Ben found himself classed as obese for the first time.In this episode with Joe Wicks, Ben shares how he lost 15kg after breaking bad habits, how looking after yourself positively impacts you and your relationships, and reveals how even a degree in exercise science doesn’t prevent you from neglecting your health…Plus, Ben and Joe discuss the importance of recognising that fitness journeys aren’t always linear, and why you shouldn’t beat yourself up if you find yourself off-track. Thank you to our podcast sponsors, Vivobarefoot.
