The Kettlebell Classroom w/ Jamie Desso

Welcome to Inspire Saratoga! Jamie Desso is a teacher, and strength coach in the area who found an incredible, and unique way to engage her students that went viral across the country. It started as an idea to bring a kettlebell into her classroom and share her passion with her students, and eventually led her to teaching her students flows and exercises to energize them for learning, and caught nationwide attention through social media. In this conversation, I asked Jamie about how this idea came about, what it was like to see a national response, and the benefits she has seen from her students not just in physical exercise, but how it has enhanced their attention and mindset in all areas of school.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
