This week we talk about what is going on in the fitness industry. We talk about new social media trends and if we believe they are a net positive or not. We talk about changes we have seen in the CrossFit and nutrition as well. Let us know what fitness trends you have been seeing and if you find them positive/motivating or just plain annoying.

This week we talk about our favorite memories from a decade of coaching. We talk about some fun positive moments, as well as moments that we could never forget even if we wanted to. Do you have a favorite memory at IST? Please share.

This week the coaches have 90 seconds to create a workout. We take three movements, design a workout, then talk about why we designed it that way. We talk about the stimulus the workout provides and the expected outcomes. We are hoping this lets you peak inside our minds! This was a fun one for us! Let us know if you liked this style podcast.

This week we talk about our strategy to improve at any exercise. We talk about the stages we progress through from the first time we try an exercise all the way to mastery. 

This week we talk about motivation! We share our personal experiences with slumps in motivation. We talk about identifying when it might be time to take a break or time to modify your training. 

This week we talk about the basics of protein! How much to consume, when, and what are good sources of protein. We share our tips that we use everyday to reach our protein intake goal.

This week we catch up and talk about what to expect going forward!

Our CrossFit competition, the 3rd Annual IST Classic, will be August 20th.
