Kilimanjaro was top of my bucket list.. Everest Base Camp in Nepal is right there beside it.. Hiking to Everest Base Camp October 2026 I'm linking up with Earths Edge for a 16 day trip to hike Everest Base Camp in October of next year (2026).. There'll be a training day with me in person early next year; and a two day training event two months before we fly to Nepal. I'm also going to be working directly with everybody on a fitness program and a private WhatsApp group a few months beforehand to make sure everyone is in great shape for the trip.  We're only taking 20 people and it's fully inclusive so all the accommodation, meals and training weekends are included.  You can book flights separately or with Earth's Edge (they're a big chunk of the payment so go with whatever is best for you)..  I've linked more details in the description; so if you're up for a challenge or a life changing trip, then check out the page on Earths Edge. Once your deposit is paid, let me know so I can follow you on Instagram to connect over the next few months. I look forward to the year ahead .

Conor O Shea is a mobility coach.  He is also the host of the Strong For Life podcast and with over 230k followers on Instagram, he helps people over 30 feel a decade younger whilst moving pain free.  He spent most of his 20s struggling with chronic pain that affected him so badly at times I considered leaving the fitness industry because he was worried, I couldn't do his job anymore.  He left Ireland in 2013 and sought out the best coaches in the world. He learned from the yogis in Mysore and the best callisthenics, mobility and flexibility coaches who were super fit in their 50s and 60s.  He began to understand that his body was riddled with injuries and how to rebuild himself from the ground up. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: ·       Five essential movements include squats, ground sitting, and toe touching. ·       Chronic pain can be addressed through consistent mobility practices. ·       Ground sitting is a simple yet effective daily practice. ·       Environmental design can encourage more movement throughout the day. ·       Flexibility training should be strength-focused to avoid injuries. ·       Common complaints include low back, knee, and shoulder issues. ·       Strengthening the back and stretching the front can alleviate many problems. ·       Mobility practices should be integrated into daily routines. ·       Injury management requires working around pain to maintain strength.  Mobility and flexibility are crucial for long-term health. ·       Injury management should prioritise alternatives to surgery. ·       The psychology of injury plays a significant role in recovery. ·       Rebuilding strength after injury is essential for recovery. ·       Pain can be a signal of adaptation, not always harm. ·       Foot health is vital, especially for runners and active individuals. ·       Supportive footwear and foot exercises can help with plantar fasciitis Today's podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching:  https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching   (Website) Personal Trainer for Busy Guys Over 30 - Conor O'Shea   (Facebook) https:// Www.facebook.com/conorosheafit88   (YouTube) Conor O' Shea - YouTube   (Spotify) Strong For Life Blueprint | Podcast on Spotify   (Podcast) The Strong For Life Podcast - Podcast - Apple Podcasts  

This was one of my favourite podcasts that I've appeared on.   It was with my friend Anthony Walsh from his studio in Dublin.   We go long here (nearly two hours) and touch on so many different topics. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.    You can follow Anthony's Roadmap Cycling show here:   https://open.spotify.com/show/2oCs3N4ahypwzzUrFqgUmC   Prefer to watch your podcasts? The full video is on my YouTube channel Brian Keane Fitness ____________________________________________   What happens when the identity that once drove you starts holding you back? In this honest and wide-ranging conversation, Anthony reconnects with Brian Keane—author, speaker, and ultra-endurance coach—to explore the line between discipline and dysfunction. They dive into self-doubt, social pressure, and the reality of rebuilding when your goals shift. Brian shares what a decade in fitness has taught him, how he's reframed his training around purpose, and why foundational movement always wins out over trends. From Ozempic to testosterone, strength periodization to mindset shifts, nothing's off the table. If you're feeling stuck, questioning your routine, or just curious about what sustainable growth really looks like—this episode is for you.

It has been a long six months.. but finally my new program is ready..  My team and I have been building out the NEW Keane Edge Program into an third party app over the past few months and I wanted to send a quick email to let you know that there is €50 discount off the program starting Monday week.  Similar to my old BKF Online Program, there will be group coaching with me (weekly Q+A's so I can tailor things to you etc).. BUT... We completely revamped it.  New training programs.. New recipes that plug directly into your favourite food app.. An app that syncs with your favourite third party apps (my fitness pal, Apple Watch etc).. It's taken a while to do.. But I think you'll agree that it's been worth it.. If you enter code "MAYOFFER" at the checkout, you'll get it for €146.    I'm capping it at 50 people as well; so that code will expire once the group is full.    If you have any questions, just let me know and I look forward to working together if you decide it's for you.   Brian    https://briankeanefitness.com/the-keane-edge-program

Dr. Elliott (Rehab Fix) is one of the world's leading experts on sciatica and back pain treatment. With over 930k followers on Instagram and a YouTube channel of over 618k subscribers, his content helps those who are frustrated by outdated advice and unnecessary treatments. He stands out in the world of chiropractic care—not only as the visionary behind the #1 online low-back program but also as the advocate who challenges the notion that you need a doctor to heal your back.  As a former competitive athlete, Grant's career was derailed by persistent back pain and ineffective treatment. Determined to find a better way, he turned his struggles into a mission, combining his medical expertise with innovative strategies to challenge the flawed “sick care” system.  Today, his program has impacted lives across the globe, demonstrating that your spine is resilient, your body is capable, and recovery is entirely within your reach. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:    ·      The notion that back pain requires medication and rest is false. ·      Fear of movement can lead to chronic pain and disability. ·      Gradual exposure to movement is essential for recovery. Perfect posture is not necessary; movement is more important. ·      Back pain is influenced by multiple factors, including emotional and social aspects. A holistic approach to back pain considers emotional and psychological factors. ·      Understanding the correlation between stress and physical pain is crucial. ·      Sciatica is often misunderstood as just leg pain, but it originates from the back. ·      Stretching a sensitive nerve can worsen sciatica symptoms. ·      Individualized treatment plans are essential for effective pain management. ·      There is no one-size-fits-all solution for sciatica; each case is unique. ·      Movement is vital for spinal health and pain relief. ·      Pain does not always indicate tissue damage; understanding this can change perceptions. ·      Back cracking is generally harmless and can be done if it feels good.   Brian's website: www.briankeanefitness.com Enjoying the podcast?

A beautiful conversation with Jay Campbell on his podcast. As the title suggests, this is a little different to normal; so hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  You can subscribe to Jay's show here.  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ThUDwVZV4MU9k5yydKdnl _____________________________________________________ In this episode, Jay interviews Brian Keane, an online fitness coach and certified nutritionist who has written three bestselling books, launched a #1 ranked podcast, and run ultramarathons in the world's most grueling locations, including the Saharan desert and Arctic. They cover a variety of topics related to the connection between physical health and one's ability to elevate their consciousness. Their conversation ranges from the dangers of hyper-palatable processed foods to the difference between emotional eating and consumption driven by true physiological need. Tune in if you want to discover how to (finally) break free from a cycle of unhealthy habits or if you want to gain a better understanding of how optimizing your physical fitness can help you deepen your spiritual practice and raise your vibration. “I think there's a crossover with fitness and spirituality. Everything is difficult in the beginning, messy in the middle, and beautiful at the end.” – Brian Keane What You'll Learn From This Episode: • The Dangers Of Hyper-Palatable, Processed Foods – Modern food is engineered to be addictive and unhealthy. Learn how food scientists are creating products that promote overeating, and how marketers are making them an ever-present temptation.   • Social & Familial Influences On Diet – Cultural “norms” can also lead to unhealthy eating habits, and sometimes it's those closest to us who are holding us back. Learn how to navigate tricky situations and make healthier food choices, no matter what.   • Physical Health As A Foundation For Spirituality – A healthy physical body is essential for spiritual growth. You can't effectively pursue spirituality when you're physically unwell, so use physical fitness as a gateway to deeper spiritual experiences.   • The Role Of Self-love In Health – Social media lures many people into a comparison trap, which can prevent them from achieving their full potential. Engage in a healthier discourse with your inner self, and watch your physical and spiritual growth take off.   • Personal Experiences With Plant-Based Medicine – Jay and Brian both share personal stories of using plant-based medicine to deal with anxiety and trauma and unlock a more balanced and connected version of themselves.    Key Moments In This Conversation 00:01:24 – Brian's thoughts on the outlook for humanity 00:10:24 – How people fall prey to an unhealthy eating spiral 00:22:29 – Why you can't afford NOT to eat quality food 00:27:29 – Why a lack of self love and trust results in anxiety 00:31:55 – Your spirit can't elevate if your physical vessel is weak 00:41:37 – How your thoughts/actions interact with the universe 00:47:03 – Brian's “Dark night of the soul” story 00:56:20 – Personal experiences with plant-based medicine 01:02:43 – Closing thoughts and Brian's resources

Here is a bonus business podcast episode. I was just a guest on Kevin Harrington's (from Shark Tank) Sharkprenuer Podcast with his awesome co-host Seth Greene (Podcast Direct Response Marketing Expert)! It was a jam-packed interview and I feel like he did a great job in picking my brain about rewiring your mindset. On the Podcast, Seth and I talked about A LOT, but here are just a few of the topics we covered: - How it can be a struggle to market and build awareness for a fitness brand. - Why moving a fitness business online increases leverage and revenue potential. - How seeking guidance or mentorship early in your career is vital. - Why people should learn from other's mistakes instead of relying on your own experiences. How prioritizing a healthy work-life balance lets you focus on your mental health, family, and personal fitness goals For details on my business coaching, check the link below.  https://briankeanefitness.com/mentorship-and-business-coaching

Matt Dawson is a six-time world-record-holding endurance and adventure athlete who, within a twelve-month period, climbed the highest peak on every continent, skied to the South Pole, trekked solo and unsupported across the Mojave Desert and Death Valley, and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.  Performing in the planet's harshest environments, he learned that his greatest obstacles don't originate in the outside world, but within himself. That life doesn't have to be a relentless battle against his deepest fears and shortcomings. His new book, Strength In Surrender beckons you to embrace a different path and reveals a harrowing truth: one of the greatest acts of courage is surrender. Surrender isn't giving in, giving up, or going along, but rather choosing to face and release our deepest fears in order to identify more productive ways of meeting our needs. It's a powerful, necessary step to living a life of greater purpose.  Takeaways ·      Physical challenges can help in reconnecting with oneself. ·      Disconnection is a common issue in today's society. ·      Facing fears is essential for emotional release. ·      Reality is not as concrete as we believe it to be. ·      We have the power to shape our own reality. ·      Living with purpose is crucial for fulfilment. ·      Emotional pain can lead to significant breakthroughs. ·      The journey to finding purpose can take time. ·      Engaging in physical challenges can foster personal growth. Living a life of purpose can significantly improve mental health.. ·      Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. ·      No one is truly alone in their struggles; many share similar pains. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal growth. ·      Focusing on the process rather than just the outcome is crucial. ·      Surrendering to the unknown can lead to new opportunities for growth. ·      Personal evolution is about learning to trust oneself and others.    (Website) https://dawsonspeak.com (Facebook) www.facebook.com/dawsonspeakcharity (Instagram) Matt Dawson (@dawsonspeak) • Instagram photos and videos (Youtube) Dawson's Peak - YouTube Book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strength-Surrender-expeditions-harshest-environments-ebook/dp/B0D2SFMZJM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XM2OC3537I9B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.brna1_m0VBRdWat1yKILcg.R-xKuvc8u0l3zIWrQnape8tghOqQ58IhXM3rR1NMg64&dib_tag=se&keywords=matt+dawson+surrender+book&qid=1738846837&sprefix=matt+dawson+surrender+book%2Caps%2C51&sr=8-1

Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, holistic life coach, speaker, and author.   Amanda's journey shows that you don't need a drinking problem for alcohol to hold you back. Without hitting rock bottom, she discovered during Dry January that sobriety was the key to a more fulfilling life. Since going alcohol-free in 2017, she's been helping others embrace intentional living and unlock their full potential.   Her debut book, Unbottled Potential, is a transformative guide to living alcohol-free, designed to help people manifest success and lead extraordinary lives. Amanda's approach isn't about a temporary challenge—it's about redefining what it means to live fully and authentically through the sober-curious movement. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:  ·      Social pressures can make sobriety feel isolating. ·      Cutting back on alcohol can be a mental struggle. ·      Going cold turkey can be more effective than moderation. ·      Unexpected benefits of sobriety include increased clarity and creativity. ·      Friendships may evolve as drinking habits change. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and new connections. The realization of true friendship often comes after sobriety. ·      Facing emotions without alcohol is a challenging but necessary process. ·      Alcohol can cap your ability to experience joy. ·      It's important to sit with your emotions rather than escape them. ·      Life can become unimaginably better after quitting alcohol. ·      Finding your 'why' is crucial for maintaining sobriety. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and fulfilment.   (Website) Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Instagram) Amanda Kuda | Alcohol-Free Life Coach (@amandakuda) • Instagram photos and videos (Podcast) The Unbottled Potential Podcast — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Blog) Life Coach & Mentor helping women live more authentically — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Youtube) Authentically Amanda - Amanda Kuda - YouTube (Twitter) AmandaKuda (@AmandaKuda) / X (Book) Unbottled Potential Unbottled Potential: Break Up with Alcohol and Break Through to Your Best Life - Kindle edition by Kuda, Amanda.

A wonderful conversation with Joe from Wise Athletes Podcast.. This was a great conversation around aging well as an athlete; so I hope it helps those who need it.  You can subscribe to the Wise Athletes podcast here:  https://www.wiseathletes.com/ _____________________________________________ Socrates warned us to beware the barrenness of a busy life. I understand that all too well these days. If you are like me, you are so busy doing the many things you HAVE to do plus your athletic longevity efforts to live long strong, including getting good sleep, eating a good diet with enough of this and not too much of that, and getting enough high and low intensity exercise … that the days just flash by.  Time is flying by.  Which is the exact opposite of what I am after.  The missing ingredient, I think, is marking time with powerful memories:  and for me powerful memories come of adventures that provide experiences that had such powerful emotions that my brain stored the memories very securely. These experiences mark time and give my life a sense of fullness.  This idea is why invited Brian Keane to the show for episode 148.  You probably know Brian. He is famous for his epic adventures in the Sahara desert and the arctic and more.  In our chat we discuss how to pick adventures and how to up your game to prepare for them while accomplishing your health and fitness goals for life.  I have to say that Brian is amazing and my conversation with Brian has had a big impact on my thinking. My mind is now  focused on returning to my roots as an adventurer. I hope Brian has a powerful effect on you too Who said “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all”?
