CC 23 | Russ Yeager: Finding a Healthy Balance in the Fitness Industry

May 28, 2024 • Bruce Smith • Episode 23

I’ve been working since I was about 14 yrs old, and though I’ve tried to stay healthy, I haven’t really given much thought to what impact fitness might have on my career. On this week’s episode of Consuming Careers, we’re meeting with Russ Yeager, a renowned fitness expert and trainer, who shares his encouraging journey from being a husky 11yr old, to competitive bodybuilder, to helping train friends, and ultimately building a successful career around fitness. But early in his fitness career, Russ discovered his own ‘thorn in the flesh’, forcing him to reexamine what’s truly important, and how consistency and finding a healthy balance between work, family and faith has been the key. And for an added bonus, Russ shares several exercise and nutrition tips along the way.
