Episode 64 with Pirmin Rehm (Kinsei-Do Corner): How to stay fit and healthy on the road - Pirmin's Flexible Fitness Journey

·44 min·2 clips

He says travel forces him to “decide on what to suck at for some time.”

The host opens with the broad idea of optimizing health and performance without losing the human side of it. He introduces Perman as a friend from Berlin with a long entrepreneurial background. Perman has worked at Amazon, has created several businesses, and still runs two of them right now. The conversation frames him as someone who has had to adapt repeatedly, especially as he and his wife and young child navigate a major life change. That adaptability becomes the center of the episode. The pair talk about staying fit while life is moving and routines are under pressure. Perman says he has been working out for more than half of his life. He also says there are forms of movement he once thought were impossible for him, including running. Starting matters more than waiting for the perfect version of motivation. He returns to consistency again and again. Sometimes that means an hour. Sometimes it means five minutes. The point is to do something anyway. He compares the habit to brushing your teeth. He also talks about the compounding effect of training over years. Small actions add up into changes you may not notice day to day. The same logic works in the other direction. Missing sleep or neglecting recovery can also compound quickly and pull you into a hole. The host and Perman finish by grounding the idea in reset-friendly examples like starting again with ten push-ups or sleeping a little more, then the show signs off with a monthly newsletter invite for practical fitness tips.
