First off, forgive the first 16 minutes of this episode. The Audio Department (Luis) messed up and didn't realize that the microphones weren't plugged in and the audio was being recorded by the laptop microphone. #learningcuve Cheyne and Luis discuss "The Murph" workout and the opportunity to switch up your training by dropping in and taking a class at Presher fitness. Keeping with the theme of classes, Cheyne and Luis discuss Luis' "Fight" class at Presher fitness. Furthering the theme of classes, Cheyne and Luis discuss what Cheyne has been up to for the past 14 years and what he has accomplished. The topic of self sabotage and fear of the unknown is also discussed and how to fight against these factors. Discipline while no one is watching is what builds character. It's not easy but it is a reality check. Be honest with yourself and put in an honest effort. It's scary but coming out on the other side your vulnerability will be your new strength. Lots of good stuff in this episode. Listen to it and pass it on to everyone you know.

Cheyne and Luis are back... Again! Cheyne and Luis have taken an unscheduled but much needed hiatus from the podcast, but in the meantime they have occupied themselves with life and adventure. Well, Luis has. In this episode we dive into essentially what Luis has been up to. He's taken yet another road trip to Florida and begins his journey to find out whether or not he has inherited his mother's talent with plants and gardening. After returning from his road trip Luis participates in his first obstacle course race in over 15 months. It was quite the experience. Luis also talks about his recent experience with his Uncle and helping him clean out a room. Cheyne and Luis discuss how people identify themselves via objects and how that mentality also relates to our health and wellness. This is a very Luis heavy content episode with the prize of the next episode being very Cheyne heavy.

Cheyne and Luis are back! Cheyne and Luis have a great conversation with Nick Shaw of RP Strength. Nick shares the origin story of how RP Strength came to be and how his collaboration with Dr. Mike Israetel 10 years ago created one of the most popular and effective nutritional tracking apps. Nick is a huge believer on the long term focus. No shortcuts here. Consistency over time and evidence based over time is the key to success. Not being focused on the outcome but focused on the process. Cheyne and Luis have a positive and real conversation with Nick Shaw that anyone can listen to and benefit from, very much like the RP Strength app.

Cheyne and Luis discuss the new opportunities presented in their lives regarding health and wellness. With the advent of Spring, more locations are opening up which give chances to try other things. Life can sometimes provide a buffet of avenues for one to achieve their desired goals or simply just more than one way. The key is to see the opportunity and to take it. Cheyne and Luis also discuss how it was "National Take a Walk" day and how taking a walk can lead to many other things. Also, how to convince someone you know how to take a walk with you and creating a positive environment. Rate, review (there still the glitch of only 5 stars being accepted so don't try to give less) and comment, then forward on to all your friends and family. It's believed that if you do, good fortune will fall upon you. You're lucky numbers are...

Here it is! Part 2 of the Mark Bell interview. In this second part, Mark Bell talks to Cheyne and Luis about finding balance in your life. It can't be all about work and it can't be all about play. Finding the balance between the two will give you the path to doing what you love. This mentality is what lead Mark Bell to create his own path. Not only did Mark Bell create his own path, he also created his own products: Sling Shot, Hip Circle, Steak protein mix, Bicep board, Infinity Loop are just a few of the creations from the Mark Bell camp. If you listened to part 1 you're definitely going to want to listen to part 2. You haven't listened to part 1 yet? WTF?! Ok, we'll wait here until you do. Ok, you're back. Now listen to this and tell everyone you know about it.

Cheyne and Luis talk about how Luis may have a neighbor that is either his twin or is baiting him. We don't know, stay tuned. Speaking of updates, Cheyne and Luis start teasing pt. 2 of the Mark Bell conversation and what to expect from that. "The acquisition of strength takes time" is just one of the many nuggets of knowledge dropped by Mark Bell. In the Current Events portion of the episode Cheyne and Luis discuss the astronaut diet and exercise program for potential Mars bound astronauts and how zero gravity affects the body. Also discussed is apple cider vinegar and wtf it is and what the health benefit claims are. Rate, review and forward to all your friends and family.

Cheyne and Luis have another remote podcast and have a great conversation with Dr. Rick Richey. Rick is a Fitness Educator and Entrepreneur who grew up in Alabama, moved to Atlanta and is currently in New York City. Rick discusses with Cheyne and Luis about his trajectory to New York and his recent transgressions as a business owner of multiple fitness locations in NYC during these pandemic times. As the founder of Independent Training Spot (I.T.S.) Rick has learned how to make the best out of the usage of space when space is limited. A lot of it has to do with his mentality, Rick has growth mindset which incorporates elements of finding a motive and not motivation and minimizing emotional connection when making big decisions. Believe it or not fitness is also discussed but all in all a great conversation is had. Give a listen and tell all your friends about it.

Cheyne and Luis discuss daylight savings and how to adjust to the time change. Do you ask yourself close ended questions that don't leave room for other opportunities? Or is your self talk more open ended that leaves a chance for positive growth. Mark Bell from the Power Project is a major believer in positive self talk. Cheyne and Luis discuss ideas brought up by Mark Bell for positive self talk. Also discussed is F.O.M.O. and mental health. The feeling of missing out on something when there is so little going on due to current circumstances is a thing. Defining what you are "missing out" on and realizing that you're actually not missing out on anything is the first step towards vanquishing your fear. In the Current Events portion, Cheyne and Luis discuss BMI and how a Nintendo Wii Fit claimed Luis to be obese.

Cheyne and Luis discuss ideas, thoughts, approaches, mentalities and other things we thought were bad to do before but actually aren't as bad as previously thought. One of the biggest topics discussed is knees over toes. Every newbie trainer is told to put the body in anatomical alignment from toes to ankles to knees to hips to shoulders when assessing someone and never ever forever and ever allow someone's knees to go over their toes. Turns out that if you've ever gone up a flight of stairs, you know this is malarky. Other topics such as eating fat being bad, cardio before weights, muscle training frequency and no carbs after 7 are also brought up. Listen in and share with everyone you know because >Meatheads has always and will always be a Yes Yes.
