Believe it or not, the concept of gyms is relatively new (relative to the past 100 years). This model is constantly evolving, yet some people seem very resistant to letting go of the gym/weightlifting/machine concept. Machines do make you strong, but what about flexible and agile? Does this even matter to most people? If there was a better way to get strong, flexible and agile, then Will McLean from Pursuit OCR has some very astute opinions about it, and rightfully so. Will is a seasoned athlete and former massage therapist who knows a thing or two about the human body and how it moves. We sat in with Will this week to chat about where he thinks the fitness industry is headed, how people can get truly fit and even put the fun back in their workouts. This episode may have you cancelling your gym membership as you head over to the nearest park or your closest obstacle course like Pursuit OCR.

Living modern city life is a balancing act. From taking care of children and/or long workdays, to late nights with friends, and early morning workouts. How can we live a full life and live a fun healthy life with only 24 hours in a day?   The truth is..it doesn’t always work.   We cut corners. And sometimes our workouts are the things that suffer before anything else does. Have you ever stayed a bit too late at a party? Probably. New science shows that your workouts suffer the morning after, EVEN if you don't have a hangover.    In this episode Todd and Marie explore how alcohol affects exercise performance and how too little hydration can cramp your style.     The Haymarket Squares "I hate this city" song credit     drinkaware.co.uk medicaldaily.com forcon.ca   Source: Winger J and Hew-Butler T.

Todd is particular about certain foods he eats. He is also trusting enough  to try some mystery food while blindfolded to expand his horizons. This week we take Test it on Todd from Instagram to the Antidote podcast to talk more in depth about new and unusual foods.   Protein Protein Protein If you’re active, it’s a constant quest for so many people to load up on protein. The truth is, you can overeat protein just like carbs and fats. Todd and Marie check out some cleaner protein alternatives that are easier to digest and assimilate than animal products. If you are a protein freak, you might want to try adding these protein rich foods into your rotation.   Holistic Nutritionist Alexandra Baird gives Marie some solid information about broth.

Dan Grant returns to talk about craft beer, his recent marathon run, and all things Canadian. Along with Run TO Beer, and the monthly Mikeller Running Group which is held the first Saturday of every month in Toronto, Dan fronts an additional running group called Toronto Guided Runs. Anyone visiting Toronto can now meet up with Dan for a run through historic and sight-worthy venues around Toronto. What a fantastic concept!   Todd and Marie agree this is a really innovative way to run, and learn more about Toronto’s history and culture. Wether it be a running tour, guided run, or a personalized beer run, you can tailor these runs to your specific interests and your group size. All skill levels are welcome to these scenic run events.   We don’t think running is nearly as fun without a beer tasting after. Dan is a seasoned beer writer and beer expert who is hard to stump when it comes to tasting new craft products. Todd and Marie do their best to find something Dan has never tried before, and Dan brings the famed Affligem beer from Belgium to experience. Listen to find out how successful the tasting goes, and if Todd and Marie are successful in stumping the beer master.     For more information about guided runs:   website torontoguidedruns.com twitter @TOGuidedRuns  twitter @brewscout   Other resources runTOBeer.ca instagram runtObeer    

This weeks podcast opens with commentary on the passing of Scott Weiland.  When someone passes away unexpectedly, often there is a ripple effect the rest of us experience. Though actions of any individual is of their own doing and a result of their own free will, the effect of their personal choices or personal demons, can continue on for a long time. There is always a cause and effect to everything we do. This concept relates to the topic for this week.

What is Karma? Many people throw this term around lightly. Karma is a Buddhist term which comes from Sanskrit and relates to fate and action. You alone are responsible for your actions. The biggest mistake that you might make over and over again is blaming other people or situations for your own misfortune. You’ve fallen into what we call Karma Coma. Todd and Marie identify a few reasons why you might be in Karma Coma right now, and how to escape.

  This week’s show gives you that opportunity to take a hard look at yourself, your choices and to get honest about how you show up in this world.
