The first podcast of 2019 and we kick off with one of our favourite subjects... PLAY!

We discuss why we believe it's so important to us as adults and why calisthenics can help you explore your playful side through training.

We also had to let you know about how excited we are for the launch of the Virtual Classroom!

The community inside is buzzing and we'd love to invite you to take a look at the FREE classroom and take the FREE tour.

Our final podcast episode of 2018 and what it's a year its been!

We reflect on what has been a very challenging and intense year for the school of calisthenics as a business as well as reflecting on our own training journeys!

Then we get stuck into a couple of Q+A's that made it through the algorithm around when to rest and balance out your training as well as the importance of mobility for your entire body!

How important is your mindset when you're trying to redefine your impossible? It's probably the most important thing... if you don't believe it's possible you never get started!

So when we got the chance to get 'mindset' expert Tom Foxley from Mindset XR'd on as a guest to take a 'deep dive' into mindset we were so excited!

It's an amazing podcast episode that goes way beyond improving your mindset for learning a muscle up, handstand or any other 'impossible' you're working on.

We get into improving your beliefs, goals and mindset to help improve you as a person and your life... It's amazing stuff and we can't wait to share it with you and hear your thoughts and feedback.

We really hope you enjoy this one!

By request from all of you out there, we have a VERY special guest this week... Charlotte Henshaw!

Charlotte is a Paralympian who's been trained and coached by both of us in the past. She gives a fascinating insight into redefining her impossible as a Paralympian, what it's like to transition to another sport and what being coached by 'Tim & Jacko' as Strength and Conditioning coaches is like!

We were really excited to catch up with Charlotte as we miss working with her and hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we did recording it!

His experience includes working with athletes both in the team environment and private sector along with members of the United States Special Forces and members of Fortune 500 companies.

He’s supported numerous Super Bowl and World Series Champions, along with several professional fighters in both professional boxing as well as the UFC.

We were really excited about the interview as we've followed his work for sometime now. However we were blown about by not just the approach to coaching when we discussed in more detail but also his personal story of how it all started.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!
