Dan and Frank sit down for PPCF episode 1! Here we discuss what to do now that the Open is over, and how to use the Open to make us much better Crossfitter's this coming year. CHECK IT OUT.

THIS EPISODE IS OUT OF ORDER, IT'S 28. Sorry!

Why slow and steady progress is the best (and exactly how slow and steady it should be). We also go over carbohydrate timing so you can eat the starchy stuff and not get fluffy. GET IT.

We hear it all the time... Questions about which training program is the best.

There are a ton of programs out there that work, and it's never a clear cut winner. What matters is how intense you tackle the programming and if you truly trust the process.

Dan and Nick talk about some of the popular Crossfit and Weightlifting programs out there, discuss why each of them work, and give you some guidelines when following programming.

Hint, tackle each part of your programming with intensity, and show up consistently. Don't over think your training and go as hard as you're able to. Make sure the programming tackles your weaknesses, and results will come. We promise.

We also talk about Dan's trip to the Misfit Athletics training camp, what he learned, and all sorts of goodies in this episode. Get it!

Coach. Box Owner. Regional Athlete. And full of knowledge.

If you haven't heard of Corey Lunney, you should. He's on a badass team for the Crossfit Team series (they even mentioned them on the Crossfit HQ talk show), he's gone to regionals multiple times, and oh yeah his Wodapalooza team beat Rich Froning's.

Aside from being a super high level athlete, Corey is also a stud coach and box owner at Crossfit Shrewsbury in New Jersey, one of the premiere gyms in NJ. Drop in if you're in town, we promise you'll dig it.

This podcast we pick Corey's brain and talk all things coaching and training. We jump from topic to topic so keep up! If you're looking to improve your fitness, or looking to be a better coach in any sport, this podcast is for you.

This week we sit down with Crossfit gym owner and coach Frank Delaney.

Frank runs Power Pack Crossfit out of NJ and we talk about how important it is to scale your workout appropriately, who makes up the majority of crossfitters (hint, it's not a bunch of Rich Froning's), and the natural progression to improve your fitness.

LISTEN TO IT NOWWWWWW!

This episode is all about workout intensity, and why most people just aren't training hard enough. You can have the best workout plan in the world but if you don't get after it, results will be slow or non existent. Check out this episode and up the intensity on your next workouts for progress!

We also chat about the crossfit games, the 100 degree Spartan Race Dan did, and other stuff. Check it out!

In this episode, we go over the importance of having good training partners and what to look for. Having a person who will hold you accountable and push you out of your comfort zone while training is key, and will translate into better performance and hitting your goals. Pick your training partners wisely!

We also play a game called "What's trending in health/fitness" and see what popular fitness blogs are being shared. Listen to it! Do it now!

We bring Jason Ackerman back to talk about some exciting projects he's been working on.

Jason is the man when it comes to flexible dieting, calculating macros, and following a sustainable diet to get you your goals and keep them. He even coached Dan on his macros in the past!

He's put together an awesome video series on flexible eating for $29, you get a look into his seminars, how to calculate your macros, and how to make it work for you. We definitely recommend this to anyone struggling to hit their goals, plus for $29 you can't go wrong.

He also extended an invitation to Team Better Being to join the Flexible Eating Nation Facebook Group (fo' free!), so if you have facebook go ahead and join to get help and have a group of people to interact with all things flexible dieting.

Injuries suck, plain and simple. What we want to do is make the best of a sh*tty situation and use it to help us. In this episode we cover:

- How to rehab from an injury

- What our bodies' are trying to tell us when we get injured

- How to avoid getting injured again

- How an injury should make us look at our body in a bigger picture to see what's really going on

Listen to it and stay injury free!

Episode 27!

It's a short one this week, we get right to the point. Don't be someone that only crossfits, or only does yoga, or only does cardio, or only lifts weights, etc.

Pigeon holing yourself in fitness is a popular trend, everyone wants to have THE best way to get fit. The truth of it is, if you ignore other aspects of training you're limiting your ability to learn and grow.

Get out of the gym, get out of your comfort zone, and start applying your fitness to everything. Don't be a pigeon!
