Tuned And Strong Podcast

Mental Fitness, resiliency, positivity, embracing discomfort - all things Dr. Rusty Holmes is more than happy to preach about! From completing his doctorate in a pandemic, playing neighborhood concerts and organizing a 20 stop virtual lecture tour, to taking cold showers and "doing hard stuff" we talk about how growth happens outside our comfort zone and building resiliency and mental fitness both on and off the stage!

In this short episode Jen gets it off her chest about how programs and certain pieces of equipment can trick people into buying them (and then buying more stuff when that stuff doesn't work) instead of helping people meet their goals. Advertising isn't inherently misleading, but we delve into how things have to be difficult to make a change....which will segue perfectly into our next episode with our first guest Rusty Holmes!

In the final part of four series we talk about giving yourself permission to move in ways that feel good to you, recognizing burnout, getting rid of "shoulds" and negotiation tactics.

In continuing our conversation about the science and motivation behind exercise (going off the book "No Sweat" by Michelle Segar) we delve into topics like:

1) The Wrong Why's - your motivation (or lack) is tied to your meaning

2) The Cycle of Failure (and how to get out of it)

3) Making exercise a gift instead of a chore

4) autonomy and owning exercise the way that YOU want

5) becoming aware of how your body wants to move instead of how you think it "should"

And many other aspects of motivation! There are several aspects of this episode we would really love your input on - drop a message in the comments when you hear them and let us know! We'd love to see a full message board of people sharing similar experiences (you're not alone!)

How do you know if you're working out TOO much or too hard or a combination of those for too long? What about playing? What signs and symptoms should you be aware of to prevent burnout, injury or other underlying health problems you might not know about getting worse? If "I'm tired"s are becoming a daily norm, more than just not getting enough sleep, there might be other things you should look at.

We WERE going to be talking about the exercise psychology using the book "No Sweat" by Michelle Segar - but Angela's library audio book had to be returned and she only got the paper book a day or so before the podcast so she didn't have time to read it! That means we'll be covering it next week.

This week we talk about the different types of coaching, exercise programs and how to find the one that suits you best!

A recap of last week and the resources we mentioned (on the blog, check out the book for yourself!)

Do you have a pre-performance workout routine? Well, the answer is: it depends! Jen and Angela talk about the difference between what they do for for solo vs. shows/pit performance vs. orchestral playing vs. auditions and what we do to before, during and after playing as well as how we alter our regular workout routine before a performance.

Happy New Year! In our first episode of 2021 we cover the topic of if muscle imbalances are bad or not. It's not as cut and dried an answer as you think. Drop us a comment on YOUR thoughts about this and what you'd like to hear us discuss next!

Angela and Jen are cooking up some cool things in the coming weeks! Tune in to hear all about it!!
