RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman : Recent Episodes
Bill Hartman
Health. Wellness. Fitness. Getting in shape. We talk about such things based on mental models we evolve from our exposure to information, our limited understanding, and what we think is best. RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman will ask better questions to allow you to filter the good to promote better decisions when it comes to your choices of exercise and type of workout you perform at home, on the field, or in the gym. RECON will explore where some of the false beliefs about what, why, and how which exercise is best for your needs to get away from what often holds you back from making the changes and progress you desire.
The ISA isn’t the answer. It’s the question.

💡 Most people measuring ISAs are looking for a fixed answer. But in the UHPC Model, the infrasternal angle (ISA) isn’t a number — it’s a behavior. And if you’re basing your entire intervention strategy off “wide vs narrow,” you’re likely missing the point.
In this episode of the UHPC Podcast, we break down what the ISA really tells you (and what it doesn’t).
You’ll learn:
🔸 Why the ISA is a proxy measure.
🔸 The most common errors people make when assessing rib cage shape.
🔸 How compression, compensatory strategy, and behavior blur structural bias.
🔸 When your “narrow” isn’t really narrow — and how to know.
🔸 Why trusting the process matters more than getting the angle right.
🧠 The ISA doesn’t predict outcomes. The response to intervention does. Learn how to measure, sense, and course-correct inside the only coherent movement model that connects structure, behavior, and constraint.

0:00 — Why the ISA conversation keeps coming back
How the YouTube algorithm loves ISA content — but it often draws people in through the wrong lens.
1:50 — What the ISA actually is
It’s a proxy for rib cage behavior during breathing — and it requires context, structure, and experience to interpret properly.
4:36 — Experience matters more than accuracy
The difference between making a wrong call and letting the response reveal your answer.
10:52 — What not to do when measuring ISA
Bill explains why using a goniometer or basing your entire intervention off of ISA alone will lead you down the wrong path.
13:44 — Archetypes, compensation, and behavior
How structure becomes more apparent after compensation is resolved and why this trips people up.
19:36 — Why behavior reveals more than structure
ISA “types” can look the same under compression.
22:36 — Measurement is a beginning, not a conclusion
This wraps with how to let the system show you where to go — even if your initial measurement was off — by using process, and KPIs.

Stretching ≠ solving hamstring tightness.
👉 Start learning FREE at https://www.uhp.network
💡 Feeling “tight hamstrings” doesn’t mean your hamstrings are short and need to be stretched. It means your system is expressing a strategy under load.
In this episode of the UHPC Podcast, Bill Hartman and Chris Wicus walk through why stretching often makes hamstring tightness worse — and what actually drives lasting change.
You’ll learn:
🔸 Why hamstring “tightness” is usually a protective output, not a length problem.
🔸 How anterior orientation and forward projection create false tension.
🔸 Why toe-touching improves on a ramp (and what that really tells you).
🔸 How to use shape change and pressure management to restore movement.
🔸 A 3-step sequence to reduce tension without pulling on tissue.
⚠️ This isn’t about flexibility. It’s about energy management and the ability to yield.
🧠 If this clicks, it’s because you’re finally hearing it from a system that sees the whole.

⏱️ Chapters
0:00 — Understanding Hamstring Tightness
Bill and Chris break down why “tight hamstrings” aren’t about length but sensation — and how tension emerges from system strategy, not isolated muscle behavior.
5:53 — The Mechanics of Stretching
They dig into why stretching feels good temporarily but often reinforces compensatory patterns — and how to test whether you’re actually changing anything.
11:41 — Gravity Management and Body Positioning
Here’s where the real insight hits: how your relationship to the ground, orientation, and forward projection drive the sensation of tightness — and how tools like ramps help clarify position.
17:48 — Practical Strategies for Hamstring Relief
A three-step progression using foam rolling, positional breathing, and ramp toe-touches to resolve tension through shape change and delayed propulsion.

Think you know how to assess a squat? Think again.
In this episode, Bill Hartman and Chris dismantle the myth of “squat as pattern” and show you how to actually use squats as diagnostic behavior. The focus is on propulsion, internal rotation, and how the system expresses its real strategy.
You’ll never look at a butt wink, heel lift, or shift the same way again.
What You’ll Learn
Why squats are not universal patterns. They are outputs of constraint
How to read internal rotation within a squat
Why “fixing form” can remove the evidence you're looking for
How propulsion phases show up during descent and return
Why ramps, heel lifts, and load are strategic resistance
The difference between limitation and protective behavior
How to connect squat behavior with table test findings
Why “stance” language confuses what is actually happening

"You’re Not Measuring What You Think: Movement Screens, Compensations, and Energetic Behavior"
→ Join http://UHP.network FREE to start learning.
Episode Overview
Bill and Chris explore how complex movements—like squats, toe touches, and turns—serve as energetic assessments within the UHPC Model. Gravity, pressure, and shape govern what you see. The episode walks through real examples, including a breakdown of the Apley Scratch Test, showing how misinterpreted motions can still offer useful information if understood through shape and phase.
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Complex Movements vs Traditional Screens
01:30 – The Value of Table Tests in Interpreting Behavior
03:45 – How Gravity Uncovers Hidden Constraints
06:00 – The Scratch Test Misconception
08:30 – Movement Is Always Strategy
10:30 – Squats and Toe Touches as Energetic Windows
12:45 – When and Why People Can’t Access Motion
15:00 – Rotation Tests and Propulsion Phases
20:00 – Real-World Application and the Problem with Labels
30:00 – Final Thoughts and Coffee Orders
Key Takeaways
Movement screens don’t test joints—they reveal strategies.
Clean table measures don’t guarantee upright performance.
The Apley Scratch Test shows IR on both sides, not ER vs IR.
Compensation is not dysfunction—it’s a strategy.
Squats, toe touches, and turns are behavioral probes, not mobility checks.
Labels like “IR-deficient” often miss the deeper systemic constraint.
If you don’t understand what you’re seeing, you can’t intervene effectively.

Episode Overview
Bill and Chris unpack the philosophy and implementation of assessment within the UHPC Model, showing how testing reveals energetic behavior—not just structural position. Rather than focusing on static joint angles, they illustrate how relative motion, systemic organization, and phase-based strategies tell the real story of what a system can or cannot do. The discussion critiques isolative and reductionist interpretations and offers a coherent, propulsion-informed approach to understanding and intervening effectively.
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – What Assessment Is For
02:30 – You’re Probably Not Measuring What You Think You Are
06:40 – What ER and IR Measures Actually Tell You
09:10 – Relative Motion vs Orientation
12:00 – Local Symptoms Are Global Behavior Problems
14:00 – ER = Space | IR = Pressure
16:30 – Table Tests Aren’t Neutral
20:00 – Propulsion Phases Reveal the Strategy
24:00 – The Tests Reveal Potential, Not Performance
27:30 – Even If You Don’t Do Table Tests...
Key Takeaways
Assessment reveals system behavior, not joint capacity.
You’re always measuring shape, not parts.
Table tests show potential, not upright readiness—but they’re foundational for interpreting strategy.
Relative motion is key. Orientation without opposition means compression and less adaptability.
IR = pressure. ER = space. Both are phase-dependent, not just joint-specific.
Complex movements reflect strategy. Know what you’re seeing.
No movement is neutral. Every behavior reflects an energetic solution—or a compensation.

Learn the truth about health and performance from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network
Episode Overview
Bill and Chris unpack the widespread misuse of “core training” — especially crunches — as a solution for back pain or a shortcut to aesthetics. They challenge the isolative logic behind ab-focused exercises, arguing that these strategies often reinforce compression, reduce movement options, and degrade systemic adaptability. Drawing from UHPC principles, they reframe the core not as a region to be strengthened, but as a dynamic interface for managing pressure, guiding shape change, and enabling forward propulsion. Crunches may feel productive, but they often compromise what the system truly needs: coherence. #coreworkout #fitness #physicaltherapy #movement #absworkout
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Crunches Reinforce the Problem
01:20 – Segmental Training Misses the System
04:00 – Compression Restricts Access
06:00 – Creating Space vs. Forcing Downforce
10:00 – What the “Core” Actually Does
13:00 – Pressure ≠ Strength
16:00 – Breath and Base Before Load
20:00 – Trade-offs of Aesthetic Focus
27:00 – A Coherent Core Sequence
Key Takeaways
Crunches constrain, they don’t liberate
Core muscles organize pressure, not aesthetics
True training integrates breath, position, and propulsion
Movement freedom is the ultimate measure of “core strength”

Live Q&A Calls with Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network
Episode Overview
In this episode, Chris and Bill scrutinize the “Four Stages of Competence” model — a familiar framework in coaching and skill acquisition that assumes learners progress linearly from ignorance to mastery. This discussion reframes learning as a dynamic reorganization of behavior in response to constraint, not a climb up a competence ladder.
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Why We’re Talking About “Learning”
04:00 – The “Four Stages” Origin Story
07:00 – Linearity vs. Complexity
10:00 – “Incompetence” Isn’t Incompetent
14:00 – Coaching Without Context Fails
18:00 – Behavioral Recognition Over Labels
23:00 – You’re Not Coaching a Blank Slate
28:00 – The Limits of Cueing
32:00 – Adaptive Behavior, Not Error
36:00 – Evolving the Model (Again)
41:00 – Interventions as Design, Not Correction
45:00 – Wrapping Up: The System Solves Itself
Key Takeaways
Movement — even if awkward or compensatory — reflects the best available solution to the system’s current constraints. That’s competence, just not your preferred version.
Adaptation doesn’t follow steps. It unfolds in response to pressure, structure, and context. That process is inherently non-linear.
Labels like “incompetent” blind us to what's actually happening. Watch what people do. Understand what it's solving for.
Models Should Breathe
Even the quadrant model evolved through testing. If your model isn’t helping you see clearly, evolve it — or discard it.

Free articles and courses about movement from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network
Episode Overview
In this episode, Chris and Bill take aim at the overused and under-defined concept of "core training." They unpack how the term has been inflated into a one-size-fits-all solution for pain, posture, and performance — without coherence or clarity.
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Core as a Catch-All
02:45 – The Problem with “Core Weakness”
05:10 – What Does the Core Even Mean?
08:00 – The Myth of Bracing
11:25 – Structure Shapes Strategy
14:50 – Breathing vs. Bracing
17:30 – Positional Relevance
20:20 – Rehab Defaults and Lazy Logic
23:00 – A Better Question: What Is This Shape Solving For?
26:15 – Core Emerges, It’s Not Targeted
Key Takeaways
“The Core” Lacks Coherence
The term is too vague to be useful. It’s become a placeholder for problems we haven’t fully diagnosed.
Bracing is Not the Answer
Most core training uses bracing as a fix — but that often compresses options and distorts the system's ability to move.
Breath Drives Support
Coherent systems don’t stabilize through tension — they use pressure gradients, breath, and timing to support action.
Structure Shapes Need
Different archetypes demand different strategies. Core work that ignores structure will likely create conflict.
Emergence Over Isolation
Core integrity isn’t trained — it emerges when the system organizes itself well under load, direction, and breath.

Episode Overview
In this episode, Chris and Bill deconstruct the idea of posture as a static ideal or diagnostic tool. Instead, they define posture as a real-time behavioral strategy. #posture #health #movement #fitness #physicaltherapy #lowbackpain
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – The episode opens with a challenge to the traditional view of posture as something to correct. Chris and Bill reframe it as behavior.
05:30 – They differentiate posture as strategy, not structure.
09:45 – Why “Ideal Posture” Is a Myth
14:10 – Posture doesn’t exist in isolation. The same shape can have different meanings depending on context.
19:30 – You can’t “fix” posture without shifting the internal strategy.
24:40 – From breathing to gaze, small behaviors contribute to posture.
30:10 – Chris and Bill warn that repetitive posture cueing may enforce rigidity.
36:25 – Real-world posture shows up most under pressure.
42:00 – Postures often labeled as “poor” — like slouching — may actually be protective strategies.
48:10 – They offer examples of how decoding posture — rather than correcting it.
54:20 – Posture should be seen as “expressed strategy” — a dynamic behavior, not a fixed trait.
Key Takeaways
Posture Is Behavior, Not Structure:
There Is No Ideal: “Good” or “bad” posture misses the point.
Suppressing a posture may block the system’s strategy without resolving the constraint.
The goal is a system that can change shapes — not one that holds the “right” one.
Ask: What is this posture solving for?

Episode Overview
Chris and Bill critically examine the traditional “stretch what’s tight, strengthen what’s weak” model in movement and rehabilitation. They explore how this reductionist approach oversimplifies the complexity of human movement by focusing on isolated muscles rather than systemic behavior. #movement #fitness #stretching #physicaltherapy #health
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Introduction
The hosts introduce the topic by discussing the widespread belief that movement problems can be solved by stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones.
03:12 – Critique of Reductionism
Chris and Bill discuss how the popularity of the reductionist approach stems from its ease of teaching and comfort for both practitioners and clients.
08:40 – Historical Context and Systemic Thinking
They review historical influences, such as PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) and osteopathic models, which originally emphasized systemic behavior and movement patterns but have since been reduced to isolated techniques.
12:30 – The Reality of Stretching and Strengthening
The hosts explore what actually happens during stretching and strengthening, noting that sensations of tightness are often related to connective tissue tension and body position rather than muscle length. They challenge the idea that stretching makes muscles longer and discuss the potential risks of overstretching.
18:20 – Bone and Connective Tissue Adaptation
Chris and Bill explain that extreme flexibility in athletes is often due to bony and connective tissue adaptations, not just muscle lengthening.
23:50 – Strengthening and Movement Behavior
The conversation shifts to strengthening, noting that perceived muscle weakness is often a result of body position and systemic constraints rather than isolated muscle deficits. The hosts emphasize that restoring movement options and body shape is more important than targeting individual muscles.
30:00 – Case Examples and Clinical Reasoning
Practical scenarios—such as hip flexor stretches and glute activation exercises—are discussed to illustrate how traditional interventions may provide temporary relief but fail to address underlying systemic issues. The hosts explain why some interventions work in some contexts but not others.
40:15 – Signal vs. Noise in Intervention
Chris and Bill highlight the importance of reproducible, lasting changes versus temporary symptomatic relief. They encourage practitioners to look for systemic patterns and to avoid over-relying on isolated techniques.
45:20 – The Bigger Picture: Adaptability and Constraints
The hosts stress that adaptations are context-dependent solutions, not inherently dysfunctional, and that effective intervention requires understanding the whole system.
Key Takeaways
Movement and pain are systemic, emergent behaviors shaped by interacting forces and body shape changes, not just isolated muscle function.
The “stretch what’s tight, strengthen what’s weak” model is an oversimplification that often fails, especially with complex cases.
Sensations of tightness and weakness are often related to body position and systemic constraints, not just muscle length or strength.
Extreme flexibility and perceived muscle tightness can result from bony and connective tissue adaptations, not just muscle behavior.
Temporary symptomatic relief is not the same as lasting, systemic change; practitioners should look for reproducible, context-dependent improvements.

Episode 63 Overview
Chris and Bill critically examine traditional motor control models in movement science, contrasting them with the Unified Health and Performance Continuum (UHPC) model. Their discussion challenges reductionist, brain-centric explanations of movement, advocating instead for an emergent, systems-based perspective that emphasizes adaptability, energy flow, and problem-solving in human movement. The episode is rich with practical analogies, clinical reasoning, and real-world examples to illustrate the limitations of conventional approaches and the strengths of the UHPC framework.
Key Topics & Chapter Highlights
00:00 – Introduction
01:14 – Critique of Reductionism
08:24 – Emergence and Complexity
13:47 – Energy Flow and Gradients
16:46 – Adaptation as Solution, Not Dysfunction
18:19 – Integrating Tools, Rethinking Reasoning
20:47 – Continuum of Health and Performance
24:10 – Case Example: Knee Pain
32:12 – Observation and Iteration
33:53 – Systemic vs. Isolated Solutions
Key Takeaways
The UHPC model views movement as an emergent, adaptive behavior shaped by energy flow, constraints, and systemic problem-solving-not just neural control or isolated muscle activation.
Variability and adaptability are hallmarks of healthy movement; reductionist models that seek to eliminate variation can increase fragility.
Practitioners should focus on expanding movement options and adaptability, using observation, questioning, and experimentation rather than rigid protocols.
Structural adaptations are context-dependent solutions, not inherently dysfunctional.
Effective clinical reasoning requires moving beyond static anatomical models and embracing complexity, energy dynamics, and the continuum between health and performance.
Communication, curiosity, and willingness to question established paradigms are essential for practitioner growth and improved client outcomes.

Episode Summary:
In this episode, Chris and Bill continue their discussion on the Infra-Sternal Angle (ISA), diving deeper into how to identify and assess it, the implications of narrow vs. wide archetypes, and how this understanding can guide more individualized movement and training strategies. They demystify common misconceptions, clarify measurement expectations, and highlight how structural biases affect both breathing and performance potential.
Chapters:
00:00 – Introduction to the ISA Discussion
01:14 – Clarifying Archetype Confusion
01:59 – The Helical Nature of the ISA
04:30 – Biases of Wide vs. Narrow Archetypes
05:19 – Measuring the ISA: Article and Video Resource
06:13 – Hands-On Expectations with Narrows
08:40 – Hands-On Expectations with Wides
10:39 – Assessing Intervention Impact on Relative Motion
12:23 – Limitations of Clinical Populations
13:36 – Table Measure Differences in Narrows and Wides

18:37 – Training Risks for Narrows
20:20 – Training Risks for Wides
21:50 – Compression vs. Expansion in Both Archetypes
23:03 – Episode Wrap-Up and ISA Takeaways
Key Takeaways:
ISA is a Helical Concept: Not a flat-plane angle, and shouldn't be oversimplified.
Structural Biases Matter: Narrows compress well and struggle to expand; wides expand easily but struggle to compress.
Movement Assessment Requires Nuance: Table measures should be understood through the lens of structural archetypes.
Training Should Be Archetype-Specific: Optimizing performance and minimizing compensation starts with matching intervention to structure.
Avoid Overcompensation: Excessive training that aligns too strongly with a person’s structural bias can reduce variability and create new limitations.

Summary
This conversation delves into the complexities of muscle contractions, particularly focusing on isometric holds and their implications in athletic training.
Takeaways
Muscle contractions are not static; there's always movement involved.
Isometric holds are often misunderstood; they are not truly isometric.
Static positions can be useful for learning muscle orientation.
Coaching can significantly impact an athlete's performance during dynamic movements.
Understanding connective tissue behavior is crucial for effective training.
Static holds can help assess and improve joint control.
Dynamic movements require different muscle behaviors than static holds.
The transition from eccentric to concentric is complex and not purely isometric.
Training should focus on the specific demands of athletic movements.
Shape and muscle orientation play a vital role in performance.

Summary
Back pain is a common and complex issue with various potential causes. It is a difficult topic to discuss due to its nondescript nature and the lack of a one-size-fits-all solution.
Takeaways
Back pain is a common issue with no one-size-fits-all solution.
The percentage of people who have experienced back pain is high, and there is no blanket protocol to resolve it.
Biomechanical factors, such as excessive pressure or tension, can contribute to back pain.
It is important to seek the help of a qualified practitioner who can evaluate movement and range of motion to rule out biomechanical reasons for the pain.
Individualized care is crucial for effective treatment of back pain.
Sound Bites
"What percentage of human beings that have walked the planet have back pain? It's 100%. All of them."
"There's no one diagnosis that would lead to it. There is not necessarily a structural reason for it. So right away, we are all over the place in regards to why you may have back pain."
"Biomechanical sources might be one of the easier things to rule in or rule out."

In this Q&A episode, Chris and Bill answer questions from their community. They discuss the creation of their own social network, the UHP network, as a response to the limitations and algorithmic nature of mainstream social media platforms. They also explore the concept of asymmetrical presentations and the reasons behind them, as well as the effectiveness of dynamic movements like dancing and Tai Chi in managing compression strategies. They address the need for scientific validation of the model and the importance of understanding foundational principles rather than getting caught up in specific models or egos.
Keywords
Q&A, social network, UHP network, asymmetrical presentations, compression strategies, dynamic movements, scientific validation, foundational principles
Takeaways
Scientific validation of the model is based on a combination of existing research studies and the practical application of principles in the purple room.

In this episode the guys explore the concepts of external and internal rotation in relation to movement and injury risk.
Takeaways
External and internal rotation are not separate and distinct movements, but rather superimposed rotations that occur simultaneously.
Expansion and compression play a crucial role in movement, with external rotation associated with expansion and internal rotation associated with compression.
Relative motion is an important concept to consider, as it highlights the movement of one structure relative to another.
Compensatory movements can increase the risk of injury, and understanding an individual's structural biases is essential for effective training and injury prevention.
Technique and aerobic endurance are key factors in movement adaptability and injury prevention.

This episode is about the need for clear representation and decision-making in various contexts. The concept of inversion and avoiding stupidity is discussed, along with the complexity of the human body and the need for mental models. The process of gathering information and giving meaning to it is explored, as well as the importance of filtering information and avoiding biases. The danger of relying on social media for information is highlighted, and the conversation concludes with the importance of asking 'What else could it be?' and the need for experience and expertise in evaluating information. Bill and Chris discuss the importance of experience in decision-making and how it affects the ability to gather information, give meaning to that information, act upon it, and make updates based on outcomes.
Key Takeaways
Experience plays a crucial role in decision-making.
Reasoning styles, such as deduction, induction, and abduction, are used to gather information and give meaning to it.
Bill’s decision-making framework: gathering information, giving it meaning, act on it, and making updates based on outcomes.

Writing training programs has been on our minds recently, so we decided to make an episode about it. Where do you start with your intake process? What are the things you want to make sure you DON’T do? How do you do an appropriate needs analysis? How do you plan out training for someone dependent upon their time constraints?

Bill and Chris begin by discussing jargon and “bad words” when it comes to fitness, health and wellness. Having a shared language is important, but once communication starts to get overrun by buzz-worthy sayings we get further and further away from the realm of the useful. Many of these ideas relate back to movement and the variability of movement, so the main theme of the episode starts to solidify around that. What are your intentions? Where do you want to end up? What are the trade-offs associated? These questions are what tend to be most important for progress.

In part one of what will become a multi-part series, the guys take on back squatting. The back squat has been deemed the king of all exercises by some, but as you can imagine, it is not so simple. #backsquat #fitness #workouts #bodybuilding #golf #baseballLIKE the podcast to help other see it COMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let’s start a discussion SHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusionJOIN the RECON training community: Interested in Bill and Chris’s fitness program RECON?

It is a myth that everyone should breathe the same and do the same exercises.

In this episode Bill and Chris talk about isolation training vs full body workouts and the idea of balancing your movements in training at the gym. The start by talking about a common concept in fitness of trying to attain some sort of push and pull balance of certain muscle groups. Why can training one side of the body actually benefit the entire body and seemingly separate parts? We will touch on this question and many more as we ask you to reconsider what is typically presented as balanced training. #workout #bodybuilding #legday #personaltrainer #fitnessLIKE the podcast to help other see it COMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let’s start a discussion SHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusionYT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPT IG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPT WEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/Podcast audio: https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221 or download with YT PremiumImportant questions asked in this episode: (0:00) You ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?

In this episode Bill and Chris continue their discussion on stretching and relate it back to how the research is done. This evolves into a conversation about understanding research and how we can interpret the results. The “do your own research” crowd typically gathers minimal information from the actual studies they are investigating, if they even look at the studies at all. By reading headlines and the titles of reddit posts, the DYOR folks, or better yet, the “evidence based” crowd tend to overlook the counterfactuals and shortcomings of the research being done. A more thorough analysis is needed, and there will always need to be further questioning in order to stay on the path towards the truth and what is most useful. #stretching #fitness #dyor #tabata #research LIKE the podcast to help other see itCOMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let’s start a discussionSHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusion SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/ Podcast audio:https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221or download with YT Premium Books mentioned in this episode:All Gain, No Pain by Bill Hartman https://amzn.to/3kHpJjT Important questions asked in this episode:(0:00) Does Santa exist?(2:23) What are researchers even trying to do?(7:24) Why is doing your research through reading headlines and abstracts problematic?(12:52) Why do people perceive a varied perspective as a personal attack?(19:23) Why is the Tabata research a good example of how people are mislead?(27:16) Should we even care if we cannot measure the thing that is supposedly happening?

Health. Wellness. Fitness. Getting in shape. We talk about such things based on mental models we evolve from our exposure to information, our limited understanding, and what we think is best. RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman will ask better questions to allow you to filter the good to promote better decisions when it comes to your choices of exercise and type of workout you perform at home, on the field, or in the gym. RECON will explore where some of the false beliefs about what, why, and how which exercise is best for your needs to get away from what often holds you back from making the changes and progress you desire.
