Hey Fit Travel Tribe,After a brief pause to reflect and collect, we bring you a recent interview with globetrotter Ren, who has traveled the world many times over as a solo female adventurer. We often receive many questions about traveling alone, so we invited Ren to the show to unpack what it's like to travel with no strings attached. Her insight is valuable - both educational and entertaining.Join us as we learn from Ren and get to know another fellow healthy adventurer!You can follow Ren HERE.P.S.

Hey Fit Travel Tribe!In today's episode, we're joined by avid skier Jon Jonis. He founded Mountain Air Health, and helps folks stay fit and healthy from their home. He's no trainer, therapist or coach. Rather, Mountain Air Health provides simulated altitude tents, which allows customers to adapt to altitude safely from the comfort of their homes!The health benefits? Infinite. To name a couple:Appetite suppressant…what if instead of pills, needles, or surgery, you simply didn’t feel like eating as much?Weight loss…what if you could lose weight naturally without changing your lifestyle?Scientific American reports that people who live at sea level are four to five times more likely to be obese than people living at altitude. So, imagine sleeping at altitude, but living at sea level (hypothetically).All of this and more is what you can expect with a Mountain Air Health automatically-controlled altitude tent. Don't forget, using code TWOFITTRAVELERS earns you free shipping on your altitude simulation system.Adventure On,M&MSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/twofittravelers)

Hey Fit Travel Tribe!You might be like most of our community - looking for ways to stay healthy while stuck at home during quarantine. So, in this ~45 minute episode, we talk about creative ways you can build a healthy plate! Building habits to keep your plate healthy while traveling starts at home. We are huge advocates for being healthy at home FIRST in order to stay healthy while traveling. So, we’ve broken this episode into two themes:Part 1 - Creating a healthy plate at homePart 2 - Building a healthy plate while travelingHere are some notes from the show:Stick to the outside of the store. We joke around that we should always have a jacket with us when we are doing grocery shopping. Stick to the coolers, the foods that require refrigeration, not the items in the middle of the store that can sit on the shelf for years.Don’t go hungry to the grocery store.Make a list.Avoid Marketing Mayhem (deceitful marketing tactics that retail stores use to get you to purchase things you don’t need):Cryptic labeling (“organic”, “reduced fat”, “gluten-free”){SIFT}ColorsPosition in the store has nothing to do with the quality of the product, everything to do with who is paying the highest dollar for shelf space.Impulse purchases near the exitsThe Costco effect (giant carts)We hope you enjoy this episode, and be sure to connect with us on social for additional resources to live healthier and happier!Adventure On,M&MSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/twofittravelers)

News Flash: Every Diet Works. Every diet works! But you may not believe that truth at the moment, so let’s start with a more digestible - no pun intended - fact: Any Diet Can Work. So, what is one reason why most diets fail? From my experience working with hundreds if not thousands of clients over the years: we judge ourselves by our intentions and not our actions. We focus more on what we meant to do than what we didn’t do. After all, “It’s the thought that counts!” - right? No. So how can you be successful with your next diet? Simple. Start with a 3-Day Nutrition Diary. For 3 consecutive week days, (Mon-Wed or Tue-Thu), write down or keep a journal in your Apple Notes or Android Notepad of EVERYTHING you consume (especially beverages).Do you know the infinite possibilities that appear once you’ve accurately documented your nutrition for 3 consecutive days? Not only will you have a true picture and reality check about what you really consume, you’ll be able to look and see clear and simple ways to change your habits to achieve your goals!So start soon (this Monday or Tuesday) and document your habits. For a completely free nutrition review and goal analysis, you can send your 3-Day Nutrition Diary to us (twofittravelers@gmail.com). We’d be delighted to help you see how easy it can be to transform your lifestyle. Adventure On,M&MSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/twofittravelers)

Hey Fit Travel Tribe!Recently, I recognized a trait of mine that leads directly to stress and overwhelm, and that’s what we discuss in this episode. Some say that failure is the best teacher, while others say that other people‘s failures are the best teacher. In either case, we can learn from observing behavior and the results of that behavior. Listen for my story about "Jake".Jake went backwards on his commitment. Jake’s pitfalls caused me to recognize times where I’ve made the same mistake. His change in language reflected his change in attitude and behavior (the only two things we can control).You may think that Jake still has the opportunity to go on his vacation, but you would be ignoring the compounding effect of his decisions over time. This situation and many others like it are the cause of Jake’s constant cycle of quiet desperation. I’m going to ask a simple question: Can you relate?I (Mike) did. Why are we talking about this? Two reasons: Failing commitments:Increases stress (too many things at once)Effects everyone around youDamages self-esteemTruth dagger: Because most people around you are too insecure to recognize and help you. Most people react out of their own insecurity. “You told me you were going to do this!” “You said!” “You promised!” A secure person comes along side you. “Hey Jake, remember last week when you said you were going on that vacation? It seems like buying that kayak, although your reasons seem noble, wasn’t aligned with your goals. I’m worried about you man. Is everything okay? Did something change?” You can imagine the compounding and completely avoidable pain. SolutionStep 1 - Make a list of all commitments and obligations in one area of your life. In this case, we’ll use finances (We encourage you to do this exercise again for time, extracurricular activities, and even family or relationships. You’ll find that many of your responsibilities overlap “hint hint”.)Step 2 - Add a TIMESTAMP of when you made that commitment. Haha - don’t quit on us here. You can likely see where this is going. Go ahead and reorder (I.e. reprioritize) your list from oldest to newest. Step 3 - Whittle down your list of commitments. Those commitments made first should stand, but if this is the first time completing an exercise like this you may not be able to revert on some recent obligations. This is your opportunity to restart with a fresh mentality. This is your ONE opportunity to hit the reset button. When I consider our life together, there are certain things that are non-negotiable. There’s no emotion involved. Do we contribute to our 401(k)? It’s not even a decision, it automatically comes out of our paycheck. We work out nearly every day. We eat clean, it’s not up for debate. So to complete Step 3, refine your list, commit in your mind that these (and only these) are your obligations until completed, and step forward with behavior consistent with these obligations. At some point what you know to be true must be converted to action, or it means nothing.Adventure On,M&MSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/twofittravelers)

We believe the intersection of Travel & Adventure is a surefire way to get outside your comfort zone and experience new levels of joy and excitement you never knew possible. These In our new short form episode series, we share 3 stories from our adventures that delivered a lasting experience and compelled our personal growth.A common theme in each of these stories is: Friction. Some type of abrasive, uncomfortable experience outside of our normal world. COVID-19 and the global pandemic has forced each of us outside of our comfort zones, but we hope the current status quo doesn't last forever. What happens when there is no pandemic? What happens when life goes back to the "old normal"? Were you truly happy before? The problem we recognize is that most people are not aware of a lack of fulfillment. They settle for less than what they deserve. We believe that you deserve more, and constantly look for ways to inspire you out of your comfort zone and into an incredible life full of exciting opportunity!Adventure On,M&MSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/twofittravelers)

Study published around this time last year (BMJ, British Medical Journal): "A brief behavioural intervention (such as self-weighing, seeking weight management advice, or simply reviewing information about the amount of physical activity required to burn off calories consumed from festive foods and drinks prevented weight gain over the holiday period." Further research around the topic supports the notion that dieters, compared to non-dieters, have more willpower and discipline around the holidays. A key takeaway for any of our Fit Travelers looking to avoid gaining unnecessary weight during the holidays is this: what gets measured gets managed.
