I found John Lindsey through the good old trusted Instagram and was immediately intrigued as to the positions he was able to get his body into. Of course my immediate thoughts were that John was just “one of those guys” who was hyper mobile. Of course I stalked him a little bit and quickly found a piece on his site that said "In grad school my body was broken; I couldn’t touch my toes, squat past parallel, and I’d have back pain after most workouts." I knew I had to get John on the show!

In this show we talk about mobility but more than that we talk about John’s journey and things that you and I can learn from it. John isn’t asking everyone to be made from rubber but what he is advising people to do is just spend a little bit of time on their body each day as the title suggests.

Once you have listened please go and take action!

We get a lot of questions from people in classes and also to the show about how we put together our class program. The tag line of CrossFit as we know is “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement” and for a long time in the early days gyms took the "constantly varied" to new heights without applying much science to their approach of programming, nothing against that as the objective for many was to get many moving and they did a great job of that.

In May 2019 Boz took over writing the class program here at InnerFight and we sat down to map out what we though based on both our experiences what would be the best “model” to follow….we then invented our own new one! In this show we talk all about how it works and of course where she gets a load of the mayhem workouts from, we also chat about our new gymnastics class.

Enjoy the show and if you want to check out the daily workout anyway head over to www.innerfight.com and you can see them all.

Thanks for listening.

Alastair Hearte has an incredible story and delivers it in it’s rawest form with energy and passion. Having started smoking at 12 years old, he was kick out of school at 15, had a serious drug problem which led into alcohol addiction by the time he was 28. It was at that age that he said enough is enough, “found his anchor” and a “purpose” and changed his life.

In this show Alastair speaks super openly about his past, he hides nothing and shares an insane passion just to help make people better. He is energetic and inspiring as well as being a world champion in various figure modeling categories at 38 years old. Alastair gives us so much in this show. I am sure everyone will learn loads from it and I am thankful that he took the time out to chat.

When I first went into a CrossFit gym and saw the rings I was intrigued. When I then saw someone doing a muscle up I knew I had to do one. This was back in 2004 where things were a lot more straight forward, we used bands less and we were just playing around with things hoping that something good may happen. Over 15 years later I am sure thousands of others have done the same thing as they walk into a gym and some may have mastered the muscle up but others haven’t.

In this show I give you the biggest secrets to getting your muscle ups sorted in the shortest time period which I will tell you straight up is 6-8 weeks at the quickest…..you need a bit of patience here folks, this is all about building strength, but the good news is that the strength you build will get you what you want and if you are smart it will last!

So stop wasting time when you are early for class or when you have a spare 20 minutes, follow what is says in the show and I will see you at the top of the rings super soon.

A number of you may remember this guy from a few years back in show 382 where we talked about life, Oasis and his mad dress sense amongst other cool things.

Well Monty was passing through Dubai recently so I took the opportunity to get another show with him. Monty used to live in Dubai, two years ago he took a job in Europe with cycling brand Maap which has seen him travel extensively for the last 2 years to get his job done. We talk about that, the success he has had but I think more importantly the impact it has had on his health physically and mentally. I try and get him to open up about a few things which he does as he talks us through his break down at the world championships.

Monty tells it how it is and appreciates a good hat, perfect combo for success on this show.

Enjoy it.

“Simplicity” is one of the InnerFight brand values. This show is not only because of that. It’s because when it comes to human performance we see so many people complicating things so much but don’t understand why as 9 times out of 10 the most simple things work.

The simpler you live in a number of areas of life the more fulfilled you will be, trust me.

Enjoy the show.

Tom Otton is no stranger to InnerFight. He has been on the podcast twice before and in this show joins a special few for his third appearance. I am not sure why I don’t get him on more often as every time I put a mic in his hand and fire some random questions in his direction he gives us absolute gold!

For some shows I spend hours prepping and researching my guests but having done various ultras with Tom and spent countless hours shooting the breeze I am not sure what more research I can do with him. So this show was totally free styled with the sole purpose of getting you guys fired up for 2020. I think we did a pretty cool job!

Check out Tom’s previous appearances on the show:

Final one for 2019 folks.

A short show to say thanks and to give you a few things to think about for 2020.

You have been epic in support this year and we massively appreciate you all.

Well that was fast wasn’t it. I can quite literally remember as though it was yesterday sitting down to wrap up 2018 and prepare for 2019 and here we are 12 months and 104 shows later.

Firsts off a huge thanks to every single one of you that have listened to the show in the last 12 months. An even bigger thanks to those of you that have shared it with a friend. That’s how we grow!

In this show I keep it short but wrap up 2019. What went down, who we caught up with, some cool things we did around protecting our environment and what were my top 4 shows of the year.

I also give you a sneak peak into what we have coming up in 2020.

Thanks for the support guys.

No Weakness.
