This week Pieter answers questions from Limitless Challengers. Questions and considerations always arise on the Challenge; whether it be nutrition, mindset, workouts, sleep…. Often things you didn’t expect. Themes are often common and repeating and by the time we get to the halfway point, we can use problems and mistakes to navigate a better journey. Great for anyone trying to go through a transformation, get healthier and happier, or of course try to win The Challenge itself! Enjoy

The Posterior Chain (Part 1) 

If like me you are not genetically gifted with good legs it’s a good idea to train your legs twice a week. Usually, we spend one session focusing more on the quads and the other more on the Hamstrings (you will work both but the emphasis will change ). However, for me, Thursdays are my “hinge”/posterior chain/hamstring day. So I focus on leg curls, Good Mornings, Deadlift Variations, RDLs, Extensions etc. Done right it’s a great exercise, done wrong it’s a trip to the chiropractor, so practice light and make steady progressions. Position and intention are everything!

In today's episode, we will be discussing what the posterior chain is, how we use it and why is it so important.

Your metabolism never stops, even when your body is at rest. It constantly provides energy for basic body functions, such as:

• Breathing.
• Circulating blood.
• Digesting food.
• Growing and repairing cells.
• Managing hormone levels.
• Regulating body temperature.

In today's podcast, we will be exploring what your metabolism does, your BMR (Base Metabolic Rate), how your body uses its energy when in motion and when resting, and the difference between a slow and fast metabolism. Enjoy this episode and connect with us on one of our social channels below.

This week Emylee and I sit down and discuss the logistics of training and eating when you travel plus managing family time with personal space. With a new baby on the way, a new gym to build, two growing communities, and a growing team there’s so much to think about, plan for, and manage. It’s easy to get buried if you don’t take care of yourself. We hit the road for perspective, adventure and clarity .
