Episode252- How To Recover from a Hard Workout with Steven Muñatones
The CEO and Co-founder of KAATSU, Steven Muñatones had the goal of launching KAATSU globally.
In 2014, his dream came true when he introduced KAATSU to the Department of Defense, NASA, CIA, FBI, dozens of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS teams, and over 80 universities.
Today, Steven has taught KAATSU applications and benefits to thousands including Navy SEALs and Olympic gold medalists as well as people in their 80’s and 90’s.
With KAATSU, Steven has been able to enable a myriad of people from wounded warriors and paraplegics, to Olympic and professional athletes to rehabilitate more quickly, effectively and conveniently.
He has seen KAATSU enable older, sedentary Baby Boomers to improve their blood circulation and muscle tone. After Steven experienced a widowmaker heart attack in 2016, he utilized KAATSU himself as cardiac therapy, proving unheard-of confidence in the blood flow restriction (BFR) modality.
Steven’s passion for health and fitness stems from his own background.
He was an NCAA Division I water polo player and swimmer, and is a Guinness World Record holder, inductee in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Poseidon Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
He coached the USA Swimming national team at 9 international competitions, including 4 world championships, served as an NBC commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and founded WOWSA, the World Open Water Swimming Association.
