IDEAfit+ Membership: Pro Tip 2

IDEAfit+ Membership: Pro Tip 2

Author: IDEA Health and Fitness Association January 13, 2022 Duration: 3:07

Hello to our fitness pro family around the world and thanks for tuning in to another episode of the IDEAfit PRO SHOW. We hope the year is off to a spectacular start and that you have made good progress on whatever goals you set for yourself and your business this year. 

As mentioned last week, our team is taking a break from publishing podcast episodes throughout January, so we can ramp up strong with our third season, beginning again on February 3. We are recording 20 more episodes with industry leaders and researchers to stir your hearts and minds in the pursuit of being the most successful and well-informed fitness pro you can be.  

In the meantime, here is my tip of the week: If you haven’t listened to all the episodes in Seasons 1 and 2, now is a great time to catch up on the AMAZING interviews we have archived. To access them, go to ideafit.com/idea-podcasts/. You’ll find nearly 40 inspirational and educational episodes there featuring folks like Dr. Len Kravitz, Tricia Murphy Madden, Todd Durkin, Leslee Bender, Pete Holman, Sherri McMillan, Peter Twist and SO many other fitness industry educators and leaders. Have a listen to feed your intellect with wisdom and positive insight on an array of topics. 

Did you know that IDEA also hosts the Listen & Learn CEC Podcast? Listen & Learn is the fitness industry’s first audible CEC program. Each episode contains information from IDEA’s award-winning Fitness Journal that has been approved for 1 CEC by more than 25 certification agencies. Tune in while you’re out for a run, getting your workout in or even while you’re just chilling out! IDEA’s editors read Fitness Journal articles directly to you so you can get some movement in while you learn. 

Check back next week. I’ll have another pro tip for leveraging all of your IDEAfit+ Member benefits. In the meantime, Keep Inspiring the World to Fitness!
