They\u2019re people with demanding careers, deadlines, meetings and responsibilities, who have found ways to make their health and fitness part of their lives without having to get everything perfect.   We\u2019ll explore what motivates them, how training affects the way they feel, think and perform, and what happens when life inevitably gets in the way.   We\u2019ll also get into the challenges of maintaining consistency, the habits and mindset strategies that help them stay on track, and how they get back into their routines after periods of disruption.   My hope is that these conversations will inspire you to think differently about your own health and fitness, and perhaps recognise that you don\u2019t need more time or a perfect routine. You just need to find an approach that works for you.   In this episode, I\u2019m joined by Alex Board, production group control leader at Red Bull Powertrains.   In our conversation, we explore some of the pressures of operating inside F1, how consistent exercise has been a support system, finding the motivation for training even when you don't feel like it, and the need for a flexible approach to routines.   You can find out more about Alex or connect with him on LinkedIn.   ","author_name":"A Bit Of A Boost","author_url":"http:\/\/abitofaboost.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
