Tired of the same old playlist at the gym? Looking for some new inspiration during your morning commute? Consider swapping your tunes for podcasts—at least one or two times a week.
Podcasts are not only great for learning, but they are free, easy to download to your listening device, and cover any and every subject imaginable. We recommend adding them to your routine for a healthy dose of inspiration!

3. Spartan Up Podcast
Have you heard of that crazy race where runners have to jump over fire and crawl through a mud pit underneath barbed wire? That’s the Spartan Race and it was founded by Joe Cesena in 2007. In addition to the intense obstacle course that has taken over the country, Joe has also created a online Spartan movement including nutrition and training guides, Spartan gear, and an inspirational podcast called Spartan Up.
In weekly episodes, Joe travels the world to interview epic people, including a former member of Seal Team Six and a visually impaired wrestler. Listeners can expect to be inspired to take their health and fitness to the next level, as well as sign-up for the next Spartan Race in their city.
