Episode Description
This episode is an interview with strength and conditioning specialist, Chris Lee. Chris was a D3 collegiate swimmer while at Montclair State, and after college he moved to Boulder, Colorado to pursue competitive triathlon. After getting his CSCS certification, Chris founded Kinesis Integrated. Kinesis Integrated provides personalized, science-backed strength training for endurance athletes, and they offer both in-person and app-based support. He recently created the Kinesis app, which integrates data from your watch to create a personalized and dynamic strength training program for you and your personal goals!
In this episode, we talk about:
- How growing up with health issues that prevented him from being as active as he wanted made Chris interested in human movement
- Getting into swimming as a way to strengthen his lungs and body, and how that led him to the sport of triathlon
- What is means to be a certified strength and conditioning specialist and how he applies his knowledge to meet the unique needs of endurance athletes
- Why strength training is so critical for endurance athletes, and why being strong is an asset rather than something to avoid
- How Chris has seen fueling impact performance in endurance athletes and why it's something he encourages all athletes to focus on
