This week, we are joined by Luke Taylor from Taylored Health & Performance. Luke's methodology has a large focus on the importance of good biomechanics and mobility. We discuss the importance of a strong foundation for people who are trying to get into shape and why it is just as important, if not more so, for people who regularly partake in endurance sports. Luke believes in prevention rather than repair and wants to educate the masses about why a strong foundation is important.

It is easy to think that the reason why you are not losing weight is that you don't have enough self-discipline or mental strength. But what about other factors? If you ask yourself why aren't you losing weight & can't say yourself, what would you come up with? This week we give you a simple to follow step-by-step guide to overcoming barriers. If you follow the same 4 steps we discuss this episode you will be overcoming your barriers in no-time.

Feeling inspired after our episode with Jess Hay we talk about some of the hardest experiences we had when we were overweight. Simple things, silly things and some very sad things that we did or had happen to us when we were fat. Things like being worried about what people would think when we would order food or take public transport. Why neither of us feel comfortable shopping for clothes, some hard lessons learned on the sports field and some irrational fears that caused us many sleepless nights.

One of the best ways to keep your weight loss goals on track is to hold yourself accountable. But how many people who weigh close to 200kg would be willing to document their weight loss journey in front of the entire world? This week we are joined by the amazing and inspiring Jess Hay! Jess saw the number on the scales getting higher and higher until it was nearly at 200kg or 440 pounds. Jess realised she had to make a change so she started doing her local weekly parkrun.

Here we are celebrating the 1st anniversary of Think Fit! This week we opened it up to our listeners to answer your questions. We answer questions about how we started the podcast, what are our favourite episodes, what have we gotten out of it.... We also answer some more technical questions about the role that strength and conditioning plays in our lives, how to manage mental fatigue during endurance sports events and most importantly, are two burgers really better than one!

Food. The 4 letter F word that we are too afraid to speak about. Like all great conversations, it started with a clear goal about what we were going to cover but ended completely off track. We discuss the worst eating habits we have had & some pieces of food marketing that we both fell for. We talk about how you need to find an approach to food that works for you and that ultimately, stick to it. There are stories, tangents, and a few rants but what more would you expect from Think Fit!?!

This week we are lucky to be joined by Rob again to have an in-depth discussion about what sort of impact ultra-endurance events have on the human body. Rob has just returned from a 160km run in New Zealand and has now competed in some of the world's biggest ultra races. We discuss the sort of injuries people can experience, when it is time to go long and why, how to step up in distance, the mental challenge of ultra-events and the sort of impact that ultra-endurance sport can have on your weight.

This week we talk all about the differences between training for weight loss and training for performance. Things like different approaches to exercise and nutrition that may surprise you and may ultimately derail your goals if you neglect them. This episode was a lot of fun! We discuss two articles, the first that tells you where your weight goes when you lose it (it isn't to your enemies) and the second is whether your personality is making you fat.

This week we are joined by Jenna-Caer Seefried. Jenna lost over 50 pounds and is an age-group World Champion triathlete! We discuss how Jenna put on her weight, how she lost it. The role her husband played in supporting her weight loss and sporting ambitions. Jenna also discusses how becoming a mother has made her re-evaluate her goals and focus on living a healthy life to set a good example for her son. We discuss the challenges that Jenna faced along the way and whether hard work trumps talent.

Peer pressure is one of those inevitable things we deal with as humans. This week we discuss a new documentary on Netflix called 'The Push' which looks at just how far people can be peer pressured. This made us realise that we have both dealt with peer pressure after getting healthy. This week we discuss how we deal with peer pressure and how we avoid giving in to what are realistically, the desired of others. Sticking to your guns, being forceful and explaining why are just some of the tips we discuss.
