❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription We’re diving into our MOVE category this week, exploring the art of crafting an effective exercise routine while on vacation, striking a balance between physical demands and mental rejuvenation. Additionally, we navigate the intricate path of reintegrating training into one's lifestyle after a period of burnout, offering insights on how to approach this delicate transition with wisdom and care. Finally, we examine the unique challenges faced by endurance athletes who seek to maintain their rigorous training regimens while respecting the guidance of their coaches and the limitations imposed upon them.

❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription This week, we dive into two listener questions that tackle the complexities of mindset and personal growth. First, we explore the challenges of navigating a relationship with a spouse who has developed a victim mindset over the years, offering insights on how to gently initiate a journey towards a more empowering perspective. Then, we dissect the nuances of the "happy" trait within the "humble, hungry, and happy" framework, contrasting it with the "smart" trait from Patrick Lencioni's work and shedding light on the profound impact of fostering a positive, enthusiastic, and uplifting energy within a team dynamic.

❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription Starting this week, we're kicking off a fresh chapter of the show, revamping our format to bring you more frequent and concise discussions. We'll delve into thought-provoking topics, revive some beloved segments from the past, and introduce new elements to keep things exciting. This week, we explore the concept of a "health stack" – a collection of tools, resources, and practices that collectively contribute to overall well-being. THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS 

This week, we’re tackling listener questions on solving double under problems, supporting a partner's fitness journey, and navigating challenges as a woman in a male-dominated workplace. We then explore the concept of finding purpose later in life, discussing the meaning of life, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of taking responsibility for our own fulfillment. Finally, we share a snippet from a conversation about building stronger friendships, emphasizing the value of structured discussions and intentional investments in our relationships.  ❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS 

The Diversification of Motivation, Pursuing a Meaningful Life, Fitter Friendships, & More

We're joined by our good friend Cole Sager to tackle some of your questions this week! We start by discussing whether Masters athletes, particularly women, can continue to lift heavy and compete in CrossFit well into their sixties, and how to navigate that intelligently. We then dive into the differences between central nervous system fatigue and muscular fatigue, exploring how to identify and address each. Our Workout this week is the value of the CrossFit Open for non-competitive CrossFitters - is it the best test of fitness, or are there better ways to assess our progress?  ❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS
