The Living Superhuman Fitness Podcast

In this episode we gather around a stack of our favorite books [literally], and dive into why each of these books have impacted us as coaches, athletes, parents, entrepreneurs, students, and human beings. We talk about what TYPE of person might be MORE interested in the specific books we cover. We discuss some of the main principles in each book and how they apply differently to our daily lives. We jump around from Stoic Philosophy books like The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday, to the CrossFit gladiators Ben Bergeron and Katrin Davidsdottir's book, Chasing Excellence, and cover a gamut of books covering topics in between.

Any of these books are good to pick up and read, or listen to especially starting out a new year. They ALL offer undeniable lessons most everyone can identify with and will motivate you page after page.

It's our 50th Podcast! And we have no better topic to discuss to celebrate our 50th episode. The top MISCONCEPTIONS of Crossfit.

When you google Is Crossfit…

the top autofill answers are

safe?

worth it?

good?

a sport?

going to make me bulky?

We are going to touch on all these, dive into WHY these misconceptions exist, and talk about what REALYL is going on in our "boxes". We go over how you don't need to be "healthy" or "fit" to begin Crossfit, and how we aim for long term goals to extend health, independence, and life. We really zoom in on the message of Crossfit through the weeds of these misconceptions; to get people better at everything, to end chronic disease, to increase work capacity. "The needs of Olympic Athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not KIND.

Welcome our newest addition to our coaching staff, Danielle M, to our podcasts! In this episode we all discuss and answer questions posed by YOU, our members, about nutrition. Nutrition is not a one size fits all, but we have some basic guidelines that marry all the different aspects and perspectives around nutrition. We go over questions like "how often should I be having a cheat meal?, what are the best things to consume pre and post workout?, should I be concerned with nutrient timing?" and more.

Chris Heuwetter, Anna Bordner, and Scotty Angelo join us as local entreprenuers to give some insight into how Crossfit specifically relates to, and betters them as business owners. We dive into the mental toughness side of owning a business, doing the small things "right", as well as taking risks and having the fortitude to keep going even if the risk doesn't initially pay off. We also take on the perspective maximizing time, and how the 1hr workout we do in Crossfit can relate to triaging work to tackle the most important task and work so efficiently. These three give us different approaches to running business as well as how being a Crossfit athlete can enhance being a business owner.

Stoicism is much more practical philosophy  than what you may assume. It is more about preparation for life where "being in the right state of mind is the most critical part."This episode dives into the Stoic philosophy and our coaches favorite stoic teachings. We talk about our Stoic resources we use daily, books by Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferris, as well as some of our practices of stoic exercises. 

What we learn most from stoicism is that it really simplifies some of the complex theories about the world. It empowers us to learn from what could be destructive feelings or thoughts and how to take the action, the RIGHT action. 

In this episode we go into the many reasons why we change the labels of SCALED, RX, AND RTG (as far as prescribed weights and movements) in our WODs. We dive into what our number one goal for all of our workouts is, and how these new labels Fitness, Performance, and Sport support that goal. We want all of our Crossfit and Beachfit athletes to be in a lifelong pursuit of improving their fitness; and with this change in terminology we feel we can provide a new sense of ownership to class programming so every member feels they are in it for the long game specific to their goals.
