On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, we visited the headquarters of Men’s Health and had the opportunity to interview Ebenezer Samuel. He has over a decade of training experience which allowed him to work alongside prominent NFL athletes, and leading track athletes across the nation. During that time frame, he was also a sports and tech columnist for the New York Daily News where he wrote various articles about the NFL.
Today, he is the fitness director of Men’s Health where he oversees all fitness aspects across digital, print, and video platforms. Men’s Health is the world’s largest men’s magazine brand, and the number one source of information for men who want better control over their physical, mental, and emotional lives.
Today, our guest shares:
His definition of an “ultra-beginner” in the fitness world, and how he accommodates them in his training
His opinion on the latest home fitness trends that are deemed successful
And why men’s health shouldn’t revolve around physicality anymore
