April 18, 2023 152: Aram G (@4WeeksToTheBeach) - Real Coaches Summit review & the importance of continued education for coaches...
Aram G (@4weekstothebeach).This week I chat with Aram about what it was like putting on the Real Coaches Summit.
.
We discussed what his goals were, how it went, what he would do differently, and what made this different from other events we’ve been to in the past.
.
Continued education for coaches is important as f*ck..…and truthfully there are so many opportunities for coaches to do CE
.
so how should you choose where to put your time and money?
.
What made this experience unique?

April 03, 2023 150: Bryan Boorstein - Two meatheads doing cardio - Why and how we're incorporating more zone 2 work into our routines
There’s going to be a good amount of overlap between this episode and last week’s episode with Dr. Alyssa Olenick but I think that’s fine since some of the content can be a little dense. Reinforcement won’t hurt!
.
Bryan and I go through the basics of zone 2 physiology and application and talk about WHY we’re starting to incorporate more of it at this point in our lives.
.
Since we’ve both spent the majority of the last decade training to be a full-time meathead, this gentle shift in goals has had a bit of a learning curve but has been super fun to explore.

March 05, 2023 147: @ButterYourMacros - Fitting into your clothes as your body changes...Should you throw out all of the clothes that don't fit you anymore?
I don’t want to understate how important this discussion is…because it’s complicated! Clothes and fashion are part of our culture and expression and let’s face it, we wear clothes every day and having clothes that fit us well is a good feeling.
At the same time…we’re not here on earth to fit into clothes. As our bodies change (for potentially many different reasons) our clothes should change with us. This is what we discuss in today’s episode…
How to deal with “fitting into your clothes” as your body changes throughout your life.
