RICH CELENZA and BILL KURZEJA (Bill K) are two friends that used to hang out and work together in San Diego, CA. These two on the surface may live two totally different lifestyles, but on this podcast the two realize how much they both have in common. Both have their own podcast, they both have a passion for working out and being fit. Both also love helping others be the best that they can be.
The first two start off as usual clowning around with one another regarding what Rich thinks about car dealerships and believes a lot of people that work at them are jagoffs. Rich even wears a shirt that he directs toward Bill that says "You May Be A Jaggoff". The reason Rich busts Bill's balls is because he is a trainer and an expert when it comes to the automotive industry.
Bill thinks the world is changing not only because of the Corona Pandemic, but because people are much more knowledgeable when purchasing a car. The also start discussing how Bill started gaining a lot of weight heading into his mid 40's. After Bill got up to 224 pounds, he decided he wanted to start getting serious regarding getting back into shape like when he was in the Army. He was always interested in doing triathlons so he hired a coach and started training. What Bill realized is the more he worked out and the more he studied fitness, the more he fell in love with it.
The discuss how Rich liked doing cardio and playing sports, but for the most part mainly loved lifting weights. But what's interesting is how much the two of them love swimming. Besides just swimming, cycling and running Bill is also working out with weights along with doing yoga. Rich talks about how people need to learn that even on their off days from working out / training, they should stretch and do something physically related. They also discuss the difference between living in San Diego and anywhere else when it comes to fitness.
Rich talks about how growing up and living in both Chicago and Florida how he was able to be around so different types of people that worked out. The two talk about the possibility of Bill transitioning into a fitness trainer and coach. Also how people need to learn how to try different style workouts and learn how to workout and stay safe and prevent injuries. They wrap about talking about Bill looking to move to Orlando and train for the Iron man at Kona. Bill also talks about his "Get Focused Podcast"!
