Rev5 Fitness Podcast

A transparent sharing of my personal story, the impact on the past of REV5 Fitness, and the future for both. It's been an absolute honor. - Derrick

In a time when we need our health more than ever, the reality is that most people don't need to learn how to start healthy habits...but rather...people need to learn to heal the habits they've started. Today's episode is a quick solo discussion of that very topic. Huge credit to Coach Ashley for the 6 Why insight and to Jason English for the cool play on HEALthy Habits

Ash & Michelle join Derrick again to talk about learning and listening to your body in the pursuit of health. This time, the conversation is about habits. What are good habits? Why are habits important? How can we recognize bad habits? When is it time to add more habits? And how can listeners participate in our free Habit Better Challenge? This one's full of good information, so enjoy! And also check out this book and her online quiz about habits https://g.co/kgs/J3AoeN

Coaches Ashley & Michelle sit down with an uncomfortable Derrick to talk about understanding the Menstrual Cycle in the context of pursuing your health. Our RevFit community send in questions ahead of time, which allowed us to cover all 4 phases of the cycle. We talk recovery, intensity, nutrition, cramps, and myths. Here are the links to the 2 books Ashley recommended https://www.amazon.com/FLO-Unlock-Hormonal-Advantage-Revolutionize/dp/0062870483 https://www.amazon.com/ROAR-Fitness-Physiology-Optimum-Performance/dp/1623366860

In one of the rawest episode conversations to date, Derrick sits down (virtually) with Markell Clark. Even at such a young age, Markell unloads from the heart on carrying a champion mindset from childhood, dreams of finding the right collegiate program to help him pursue his dreams of winning and a shot at the NFL, and then opens up about the stigma surrounding mental health in high-level athletics. This is worth every second!

In the month of our fifth anniversary as a business, Derrick gets the chance to relive the first 25 episodes of an unplanned podcast. Enjoy reminiscing on each of these amazing guests and their important topic, and get ready for 25 more amazing episodes to come!
