The GymCraic Podcast

Today I wanted to discuss your options to help you reach your health, fitness and mindset goals for 2023.

Do you know what works for you? Maybe what you think you want is not what you're looking for after all.

I'm going to give you options, food for thought and a direction in which you could take this year.

I discuss the differences you may face when choosing what you might benefit from the most and what you might enjoy.

If you can figure out what you enjoy there is more of a chance you will stick with it and achieve your goals.

I go through the Pros and Cons of various options for you, including some of my recommendations for you to follow.

Getting started again is never easy in fact it is HARD!!!! but it doesn't have to be.

Starting small, taking that 1st step towards ACTION to get you and me back on track with what we value most in life. 

This is not a new year new me episode.

This is what I value in my life and a goal I want to achieve by recording podcasts with myself, interviewing those who inspire me, hear & share their stories. 

Today's episode is to inspire you to get started AGAIN whether that is to try again with the fitness journey you once wished to achieve and have fallen short. 

You want to improve your nutrition once more, you wish to find the right relationship or career you have been chasing.

Maybe you have tried to improve your relationship with alcohol and it worked for a while and we went back to the old ways. 

All past ATTEMPTS are not failures, you have just learnt ways that have not worked for you, and you could be in a better place to try again.

You are only DEFEATED when you do not try one more time.

So here I am on my 3rd attempt to bring you THE GYMCRAIC PODCAST

What's the craziest thing you've ever heard someone do? In this unforgettable episode, I chat with Ethan Fleming from Melbourne, who recently set a new Guinness World Record by dragging a 2-tonne Jeep by himself for over two days. And that’s just one of the two world records he currently holds! To say he's a fan of burpees is an understatement, and you'll hear why it’s important to follow the rules when attempting a 24-hour record.

We dive into:

Removing the guesswork! In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Sean Kinane of My Health Matters. Sean specialised in Metabolic Testing & Vo2 Testing in Dublin. I love the work this man has been doing and how he takes the guesswork away with his scientific methods and approach to your training and nutritional intake to meet your goals to improve performance, gain weight, refuelling for recovery or if fat loss is your desired goal.

We chat about.

· How Vo2 and Metabolic tests are performed and results explained

· How do we accurately measure our Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

· Why tracking calories is important for educational purposes.

· Getting to know your heart rate zones, going EASY v going HARD

· Understanding Aerobic V Anaerobic systems and fuel been utilised in each

· Why watch heart rates monitors can be inaccurate and heart rate chest straps are your go too when it comes to performance

GIVE AWAY …If you enjoyed this episode if you could please leave me a review “good, bad or in-between” and 5 stars for the craic while you’re at it! That would be amazing J I will be given away my favourite book each month for 1 lucky reviewer.

In this "weeks episode" more like this year's episode at this rate :D I wanted to discuss Sleep 😴

Over the last 2 years, I have practised the routines mentioned in this podcast while it certainly has not been easy there had been progress.

It's a constant challenge to get good quality and adequate sleep to help us deal with stress, recharge, recover and optimise the most natural performance enhancers available too us all for free by doing the basics and getting to bed at a regular time and waking up when the sun rises.

Forget sleep when you're dead. Sleep now and reap the benefits of having more energy and being productive from day to day.

Tops Covered

If you do wish to receive the sleep study guide please email me or DM me with the word "SLEEP" and ill send it to you.
