Welcome to The Herd FIT Podcast @herdfitpodcast with Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic. This podcast is aimed at helping anyone and everyone looking to enhance their healthy lifestyle through fitness, nutrition, and most importantly, MINDSET.

How do affiliates hire coaches? Is there one best way to find coaches? What factors are important in building a coaching staff? If you ask any athlete, the number one consideration they have for a box is exactly that: the coaches.

Dave and Sam discuss their thoughts about building a coaching staff, drawing upon Dave's experience as owner and coach at @crossfitbison over the years.

Dave and Sam welcome someone who truly has achieved amazing success in every endeavor. Special guest Dr. Allison Warner, MD PhD, is not only an oncologist specializing in melanoma at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (soon to be at Stanford University Medical Center), but she has been involved with CrossFit at every level since 2009, as a CrossFit Games athlete, a CF L-1 certified coach, and part of the CrossFit Health @crossfithealth initiative. She also is a dedicated athlete at our own @crossfitbison, who will be sorry (but proud!) to see her going to the West Coast soon.

Allison talks with Dave and Sam about her CrossFit experience through her medical training, why she has continued with CrossFit all these years, and important takeways for anyone interested in health and fitness.

Dr. Warner obtained her undergraduate degree at Cornell University where she was a varsity gymnast. She graduated from Duke University with her MD/PhD degrees and subsequently completed a residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. After a fellowship in oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), she has been an assistant attending physician at MSKCC. She will be taking a position at Stanford University Medical Center next month.

Welcome to The Herd FIT Podcast @herdfitpodcast with Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic. This podcast is aimed at helping anyone and everyone looking to enhance their healthy lifestyle through fitness, nutrition, and most importantly, MINDSET.

At @crossfitbison the gym holds a yearly RESET challenge in January for athletes. It includes a framework to measure factors such as food, sleep, water, alcohol, exercise, and other metrics.

Why bother with a challenge in the first place? What are the goals for a challenge? How can a challenge empower you for the year? What can you expect from a fresh start or "reset"?

Dave and Sam discuss why you should consider a challenge and how to use it to make your whole year healthier and happier.

CrossFit workouts are often adjusted for different athletes; the men's WODs are frequently different from women's. Older (masters) athletes' workouts are also often scaled.

Are the adjusted standards fair? Does a 20 year old male athlete's performance equate to a 20 year old female athlete's? How about a 60 year old athlete's? Dave and Sam delve into the complexity of programming WODs for men, women and masters and some considerations for each group.
