#44 Dani Antonellos WBFF Bikini Pro: how to PROPERLY train your glutes, injury management and prevention for competitors, why movement is medicine

Hey legends,

This week’s episode is with the wonderful Dani Antonellos, who is
a WBFF Bikini Pro, co-host of the Level Up Podcast, Dr. of
Osteopathy and on a mission to teach people that movement is
medicine - for both the mind and body.





I absolutely LOVED this episode - it was really cool to dig into
some really important topics around injury management and
prevention as well as correct training protocols - including warm
up and activation to help YOU get the most out of your training!
Selfishly, I basically got to quiz her for an hour on my own
injuries! Dani is one smart cookie and I was so grateful she
shared her knowledge and expertise with me! 





Dani is also running a series of workshops round the country over
the next few months around everyone’s favourite muscle group to
train - the glutes! So if you’re interested in knowing more don’t
