Greatist Podcast: Healthy Living from an Olympic Athlete
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have just a fraction of the self-discipline, time-management skills, and other tricks elite athletes use to maintain a healthy lifestyle?
Today’s show is about how you can use the same techniques as one of America’s greatest Olympic athletes to improve your fitness, health, and happiness. We talked interview with Sheila Taormina, one of the most accomplished Olympians in U.S. history. Sheila shares how she was able to rise to the top of three sports, maintain a full-time job, and still have time for fun.
