#21 Productivity in Quarantine – Interview with Maarten Van Elst (Muslim Fit)
The Optimized Muslim Podcast - Self Development For The MuslimShow Notes
“Br Maarten discovered Islam through his search for self-improvement, he was inspired by Islam’s teachings, that amongst other, promotes spiritual, social, physical and mental health. After converting to Islam in 2011, he didn’t see much of what was being preached actually being practised within the Muslim community. So combining his own hands-on knowledge from competitive bodybuilding (pre-islam), years of personal training and coaching experience and medical background (Maarten is a nurse anaesthetist), he felt the need to launch Muslim Fit.www.muslimfit.com Without further delay, here’s our conversation.” Excerpt from www.Muslimfit.com
Welcome to another interview-based episode of The Optimized Muslim podcast. This was recorded on Friday 17th April. it’s quite a wide-ranging conversation with regards to our well-being and productive through these times. It took on a bit of a different direction than I anticipated but I think you’ll benefit from that as we discuss the nuance involved in advising people and how the pressure to be productive is not suitable advice for all.
