What if the exercises that look the strangest are the ones that can help your body move, react, and perform better in real life?  In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Sam Davis, Founder of Neurologic Fitness Training Systems, who shares his unconventional approach to training, including long-duration isometrics, depth drops, plyometric-style impact work, and exercises designed to help the brain and body feel safer under stress. Together, they explore why unusual-looking movements may build stronger tendons, enhance force absorption, improve confidence, and foster more resilient movement patterns for athletes and everyday people alike. Key Takeaways: → Long-duration isometrics can challenge the body and brain in powerful ways. → The ISO extreme lunge trains strength, mobility, focus, and tolerance. → Landing hard after controlled drops can help prepare the body for real-world impact. → Athletes need to train for the forces they encounter in their sport. → Foot feedback plays a major role in balance, movement, and safety. Sam Davis is the founder of Neurologic Fitness Training Systems and a Jacksonville Beach–based strength coach and personal trainer specializing in neurologic performance training and pain relief. With a master's degree in Exercise Science from Middle Tennessee State University and more than 10 years of coaching experience, Sam has worked in collegiate, professional, and private settings, including with MTSU, Lipscomb University, and the Jacksonville Jaguars' strength and conditioning staff. Sam helps athletes and active adults bridge the gap from pain relief to peak performance. He specializes in advanced neurologic training methods, including The SQUARE 1 System, Z-Health, and Reflexive Performance Reset, to help clients address nervous system dysfunction, improve movement quality, reduce chronic pain, and return to high performance.

Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking   Success does not protect you from feeling stuck. In fact, for many high achievers, the pressure to keep performing can bury the deeper questions that actually matter. This conversation with Joshua Lifrak is about what happens when the old way of thinking stops working and you need a more honest framework for resilience, growth, and living with intention. Joshua knows this terrain from both sides. He grew up around financial scarcity, built a career in elite performance, and lived through bankruptcy before rebuilding. Along the way, he worked with top athletes and organizations, including the Chicago Cubs during their 2016 World Series run, and built a framework for performing under pressure that now serves business leaders as well.   In This Episode: How childhood scarcity shaped Joshua's early relationship with money Why bankruptcy became a turning point instead of an ending What elite athletes understand about mental preparation that most executives do not The power of neutral thinking in high-pressure moments Why knowledge without action changes nothing How to stop living by default and start living by design What "Mile Zero" means for your next chapter   Key Insights: The story you attach to a setback often creates more damage than the setback itself. Neutral thinking creates space for better decisions. Real performance is built before the pressure moment arrives. Growth comes from repetition, not occasional inspiration. The past only controls the future if you keep giving it that power.   Money Learnings from Joshua: He grew up with a scarcity-based relationship to money and remembers what it felt like when finances were tight at home. School did not teach him much about money, and he says he did not truly begin to understand how money could work for you until later in life. He credits his wife, Karen, with helping shape a more thoughtful financial approach through long-term planning, investing, and thinking differently about how to use money to create freedom and better choices.   Why This Conversation Matters: It speaks directly to entrepreneurs and high achievers who know what pressure feels like. Success does not eliminate setbacks, self-doubt, or emotional overreaction. In many cases, it raises the stakes. Joshua brings a rare perspective because he connects personal financial struggle, elite athletic performance, and business leadership into one practical framework. For anyone building a company, leading a team, or trying to grow through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that better results often begin with better thinking. This is what makes the conversation so relevant for entrepreneurs and high achievers. Success does not remove pressure. It often amplifies it. And when pressure rises, the real question is whether you will react emotionally or respond with intention. Joshua's concept of neutral thinking offers a grounded way forward.   About Joshua Lifrak: Joshua Lifrak, M.S., author of WIN TODAY, is Director of Performance and Coaching at Limitless Minds, a mental performance consultancy, delivering keynotes and advising individuals, small businesses, and top multinationals including McDonalds, Novartis, Pfizer, KPMG, and Amazon.

He then joined the Chicago Cubs as director of their mental skills program. His work there culminated in the Cubs' 2016 World Series victory. After his stint with the Cubs, he went on to be the Major League Mental Skills Coach for the New York Mets. Lifrak, who has a Master's Degree in Exercise Science with a specialization in Sports Psychology from Ithaca College, lives in Sarasota, Florida.   Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-lifrak-59ab5442/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jlifrak/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshualifrak/  And here's a link to an advance copy of the book:    https://app.box.com/s/qgi7q7093iaqmh0twvhlyx877y8xs9t9    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

This is a powerful conversation on reclaiming your relationship with your body.

Cameron Hörst recently completed the hardest route of his climbing career: Big Bone (5.15a/9a+), a king line out Utah's massive Fynn Cave. What makes his first ascent especially compelling isn't just the grade—it's the journey. Big Bone was a project that demanded years of training, 60+ working goes and redpoint attempts, countless setbacks, and a level of patience few climbers ever develop. In this episode of the Training for Climbing Podcast, Cameron  unpacks the entire process. We dive into the physical, mental, and tactical challenges of working a multi-year project, the breakthroughs that finally moved the needle, and the lessons any climber can apply to their own long-term goals—whether you're projecting 5.10 or 5.15. One of the most fascinating takeaways is that the breakthrough wasn't a sudden gain in finger strength or power. Instead, it came from years of accumulated training adaptations, comprehensive energy system development, improved recovery, refined tactics, and learning when not to climb. Cameron shares how he finally broke through a plateau that had stalled his progress for multiple seasons.

Could your favourite song be doing more for your fitness than your expensive running shoes or gym membership? A new exercise study has found that people who trained while listening to music they personally loved exercised significantly longer than those working out in silence, lasting nearly 20% longer without feeling dramatically more exhausted. Researchers believe music may improve pacing, elevate mood, reduce perceived effort, and help people stay mentally engaged during challenging workouts. On this week’s wellness conversation, fitness enthusiast, wellness correspondent, and burnout & mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702 to explain why music may be one of the most overlooked performance tools in health and fitness. From beginner motivation to endurance performance and the psychology of movement, this discussion explores how something as simple as the right playlist could help people build healthier habits and enjoy exercise more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  What if the reason you keep running out of fuel — running out of clarity, running out of resilience, running out of confidence exactly when you need it most — isn't that you're not working hard enough, but that you've been running the wrong system for the human being doing the work? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Rob Tracz — high-performance coach, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, Master of Science in Exercise Science, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction, Precision Nutrition Level 2 Coach, and founder and CEO of TAPS Coaching — for one of the most scientifically grounded and personally moving conversations about human performance, confidence under pressure, and the entrepreneurial operating system we have ever recorded. Rob's own story took him from chasing success while silently unraveling, to sleeping on a yoga mat in a gym, to receiving his dying father's final words — "Take care of yourself. Don't work so hard. Be good for your sister" — and building those words into a coaching philosophy that has transformed hundreds of driven professionals out of Robot Mode and into their Prime Performance.  In this episode, you'll discover:What Robot Mode is, how to know if you're in it, and the specific reason driven people are the most vulnerable to itThe real story behind Rob's rock bottom — and the moment his father's final words finally changed everythingWhy Look Good, Feel Good, Do Great Things is a performance strategy, not a wellness sloganThe Confidence Equation — what confidence actually is at a scientific level and how to build it as a system, not a feeling  If you have been grinding, hustling, and achieving — while quietly running on empty — this episode is the performance intervention your business has been waiting for.

What if the most powerful determinant of how you age is not your biology, but your inner dialogue? In this episode, Anne Poirier explores how self-talk shapes emotional wellbeing, behavior, and ultimately healthspan.

Drawing from her lived experience and three decades of professional work, Anne explains how shifting from self-criticism to self-compassion can transform both mental and physical health. Listeners will learn practical strategies to reframe their inner voice, adopt body neutrality, and support healthier, more empowered aging.

Dr. Rosy Boa interviews exercise scientist and belly dance (Raqs Sharqi) teacher Siobhan Camille (MSc in Rehabilitation Science) about applying exercise science to dance and pole. Siobhan shares her path from New Zealand athlete to researcher and strength and conditioning coach, including belly dance injury research, hospital-based rehab work, and her current role with Dutch elite and Olympic sport. They discuss how early research in “fringe” activities often focuses on injury rates before performance optimization, and emphasize that rehab and return-to-sport/pole rely on principles tailored to the individual and their demands. Siobhan critiques common “prehab” trends that underload the body, argues that appropriate joint stress builds resilience, and highlights injury's multifactorial nature. They also cover consistency over optimization, motor learning cues, accessibility in classes, and misconceptions about “perfect posture” and pelvic tilt.Are you a pole nerd interested in trying out online pole classes with Slink Through Strength?

“The Fitness Industry Is Lying To You (Here's The Truth)”What if the biggest problem in modern fitness… isn't motivation? What if it's misinformation? In this powerful conversation on the Live From America Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten joins Hatem for a deep dive into the psychology, biology, and spiritual side of health and fitness.Together, they unpack:Why the fitness industry keeps failing everyday peopleThe difference between looking fit vs. actually being healthyHow exercise changes your brain chemistry and mindsetWhy belief systems affect physical performanceThe science behind resilience, discipline, and “grit”How visualization improves athletic and mental performanceWhy community matters for transformationThe hidden connection between physical fitness and emotional healthWhat elite operators understand about mindset that most people don'tCoach Alex also shares his personal story of living with a painful genetic disorder and how it shaped his understanding of stewardship, suffering, and discipline.Meanwhile, Hatem shares the incredible story of surviving heart failure, living with an LVAD, undergoing a heart transplant, and rebuilding his life through fitness and mental resilience.This episode is not about six-week transformations.It's about becoming the kind of person who refuses to quit.⏱️ Timestamp Outline00:00 – Intro: Why Health & Resilience Matter01:15 – What Is Exercise Science?03:00 – The Fitness Industry's Biggest Lie05:00 – Why “Quick Fixes” Fail08:00 – Alex's Genetic Disorder & Pain Journey11:00 – Hatem's Heart Failure & Heart Transplant Story14:30 – Why Fitness Saved Hatem's Life15:30 – Bio-Individuality Explained18:30 – Looking Fit vs Actually Being Healthy21:45 – Where Everyday People Should Start24:00 – Why 1% Better Daily Works27:00 – How Health Impacts Relationships & Identity29:00 – Injury, Illness & Recovery Mindset31:00 – The “Lone Wolf Problem”34:00 – Agency: Life Happening TO You vs THROUGH You37:00 – Why Community Changes Everything40:00 – Exercise, Hope Molecules & Mental Health44:00 – Motivation vs Discipline48:00 – Visualization & Athletic Performance52:00 – Grit, Mental Toughness & The Will To Live58:00 – Everyday Spy & Operator Training1:00:00 – Faithful Fitness & Why Alex Wrote The Book1:05:00 – Final Encouragement + Closing

Most of us have started a workout routine at least three times. We know what to do. We even want to do it. And yet, somehow, consistency remains the thing we can't crack — and we've been blaming ourselves for it ever since. In this episode, I break down a fascinating body of research called social facilitation, and what it reveals about why going it alone in fitness is so much harder than it needs to be — and exactly what to do about it.In this episode, you'll find out:Why does your body actually perform differently when other people are around — and what does that mean for your workouts?What is the Köhler Effect, and how does working out with someone slightly ahead of you unlock something extra you didn't know you had?What's the single most powerful habit you can build this week to hold yourself accountable to exercise — without overhauling your whole routine?Study References:Zajonc (1965) — Social Facilitation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14300526/Irwin, Feltz, Kerr et al.

The Enhanced Games, a bizarre cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs, elite sport, billionaire backed bullshit, and techno-utopian nonsense, landed in Las Vegas recently and delivered... well, not a whole lot. To talk about the spectacle we're joined by Bruce Wardrop, Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Science at South East Technological University and specialist in performance physiology. Bruce helps us unpack what the Games actually were, the science behind doping in elite sport, and the very real health risks tied to chasing marginal gains at any cost. We also get into the billionaire backing behind the event, the promise of “safe enhancement”, why the performances largely failed to live up to the hype, and what all of this says about modern sport, biohacking culture, and the increasingly worrying social grifting.   

In this episode, George breaks down new research showing how vigorous exercise may significantly reduce your risk of developing eight major diseases, why intensity matters, and how small changes in your fitness routine could have long-term health benefits.Then John delivers a powerful conversation on personal responsibility in the creative world, explaining why artists must stop waiting for validation, opportunities, or rescue — because no one is coming to save you. He shares hard truths about discipline, consistency, and what it really takes to build a successful creative career.From physical health to creative ambition, this episode is all about taking ownership of your future and putting in the work that changes your life.www.georgebatista.comwww.johnhenrysoto.com

Body composition goals, particularly bodyfat loss, are among the most common reasons people seek support from a nutritionist or health and fitness professional. While the principles are well established, the challenge is helping individuals apply them consistently in real-world conditions. Many people struggle due to hunger, unrealistic expectations, emotional eating, inconsistent routines, or overly restrictive dieting approaches. These challenges can make fat loss difficult to sustain, even when someone understands what they "should" be doing. In this episode,  Luke Hanna discusses practical strategies for improving body composition, including food diaries, energy-density manipulation, preloads, mindful eating, and realistic goal-setting. The discussion emphasizes identifying individual barriers, collaborating with clients, and building repeatable behaviours that support both fat loss and long-term maintenance. Luke Hanna holds a Master's degree in Obesity and Clinical Nutrition from University College London and a degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Portsmouth. He currently works as a nutrition coach and personal trainer.

Website: ⁠bicarb.shop Riley Witt doesn't think you need talent to break four minutes in the mile—he just thinks you need to want it bad enough to spend $35.The Northwest Missouri State senior came on to break down the philosophy behind that take, and what followed was one of the more honest conversations about athletic ambition, economic reality, and the compounding edge of doing everything right. Witt grew up in a class of 36 students in Osage, Iowa, ran a 4:40 mile his freshman year of high school, and genuinely believed that was fast. He didn't have the training partners, the competition, or the context to know otherwise. What he had was an Exercise Science background, an obsessive attention to marginal gains, and a willingness to do things differently.That's where Bicarb comes in. Witt launched Bicarb 3.0 out of necessity (he wanted a sodium bicarbonate product that actually worked without the GI catastrophe), and built it into a business from his dorm room after going from a 4:11 mile to a 4:03 in two weeks on his first homebrew version.He walks Dominic through the science of how bicarbonate buffers hydrogen ions at the cellular level, why the longer distances are starting to adopt it, and what his proprietary kinetic gradient matrix technology does differently than anything else on the market.Underneath all of it is a runner who just ran 1:48 at the MIAA Outdoor Championships, holds a 4.0 GPA, and has one box left to check: a Division II national title. He's currently ranked second in the country in the 800m. The clock is ticking.Tap into the Riley Witt Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! S H O W  N O T E S  -The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run  -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz Instagram: @riwitt03 Website: bicarb.shop

No weights for home pole dance conditioning? No problem! Dr. Rosy Boa addresses how pole dancers can build strength at home without gym access or heavy weights. She explains the basic strength principle of applying load and allowing recovery, noting weights are the most efficient for rapid, targeted gains, with free weights often preferable to machines for pole due to stabilization and range-of-motion demands. She then covers three accessible alternatives: isometrics (80–100% maximal effort holds for 1–5 seconds, scaling well but joint-angle specific), scalable bodyweight training (using variations such as changing points of contact, lever length, duration, reps, and power), and resistance bands (types, selecting by length/shape/resistance, variable tension through range, latex cautions, and use for assistance/spotting). She emphasizes consistency, enjoyable training, and doing the conditioning you will actually do.Are you a pole nerd interested in trying out online pole classes with Slink Through Strength?

This week, Richard Graves is joined by Carmen Bott, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, kinesiologist, sports performance coach and educator with more than two decades of hands-on experience working with athletes across youth, high performance and professional sport. Carmen specialises in ACL rehabilitation, return to play, collision sport athletes, multi-directional speed, and mental performance coaching. In this episode, Carmen shares the story of her career, from an unexpected switch from behavioural psychology and criminology into kinesiology, through to working with university teams, NHL athletes, national-level performers and young athletes returning from serious injury. The conversation explores what kinesiology actually means, how it sits alongside strength and conditioning, and why understanding the sport is just as important as understanding the science. Carmen also discusses the communication challenges that can arise between practitioners, coaches and athletes, particularly when return-to-play decisions are being made under pressure. Richard and Carmen then take a deeper look at ACL rehabilitation. They discuss why training age matters, how the rehab journey differs between a professional athlete and a young adolescent athlete, and why parents can play such an important role in the process. Carmen also breaks down the place of isometrics, dynamic strength training, plyometrics and force progression in ACL rehab, while offering a clear, practical view of what effective exercise prescription should look like. Finally, Carmen gives her thoughts on artificial intelligence in sports science and rehabilitation. While AI may help with programming and exercise selection, she explains why coaching, communication, technical feedback and human connection remain central to helping athletes return to performance safely and confidently. In this episode you will learn What kinesiology is and how it differs from strength and conditioning Why practitioners need to understand the language and demands of the sport they work in How to communicate more effectively with coaches during return-to-play decisions Why ACL rehabilitation must be adapted to the athlete's training age and experience The key differences between rehabbing a professional athlete and an adolescent athlete Why parents can be critical in supporting youth athletes through injury rehabilitation How isometrics, dynamic strength training and plyometrics fit into ACL rehab Why force progression matters when preparing athletes for sprinting, cutting and collision demands Where AI can support practitioners — and where it cannot replace real coaching About Carmen Bott Carmen Bott is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Practicing Kinesiologist, Sports Performance Coach and Educator based in Canada. She holds a Master's degree in Exercise Science and has worked with athletes from learn-to-train level through to high performance and professional sport. Carmen's work spans physical preparation, ACL rehabilitation, return to play, collision sport athletes, multi-directional speed coaching and mental performance.

Preventing Injury, Reframing Pain, and Using Physical Therapy to Avoid Unnecessary Surgery: Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, founder of Rehab Science, and author of “Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal From Injury,” an illustrated, body-region guide to common orthopedic problems and self-managed therapeutic exercises. Walters emphasizes using PT-style mobility and resistance training preventively to increase tissue capacity, manage load, and avoid overuse injuries, while warning against “no pain, no gain” and excessive volume or weight. He discusses “movement literacy,” hip and glute stabilizers, and how weakness can drive knee and back problems. Dr. Hoffman shares his own hip injury and recovery with targeted strengthening, illustrating that imaging findings often don't dictate function. Walters explains the biopsychosocial model of pain, graded exposure, the limits of RICE and ultrasound, and roles for manual therapy, taping, TENS, shockwave, acupuncture/dry needling, and PRP. They advocate prehab/rehab around surgery and note PT training and career prospects.

What does proactive, personalized healthcare actually look like in practice? In this episode of the DocPreneur Leadership Podcast, host Michael Tetreault sits down with Keith Bozeman and Kailah Murphy from MEDgevity — a collaborative health company designed to support concierge physicians and their patients through an integrated, team-based care model. MEDgevity functions as an extension of the physician's team, combining board-certified physician oversight with registered dietitians and exercise physiologists to bridge gaps that traditional healthcare often leaves behind. Their virtual-first approach brings together advanced screenings, biomarker analysis, genetic insights, and performance benchmarks to help patients identify risks early and build personalized strategies for longevity and performance. In this conversation, Keith and Kailah speak candidly about the dangers of nutritional misinformation, the power of micro-habits and whole foods in building sustainable health outcomes, and why muscle preservation deserves far more attention than most wellness trends deliver. For concierge physicians, the MEDgevity model offers something practical and timely — a way to extend the reach of your care team, reduce physician workload, and give patients coordinated, longitudinal support that goes well beyond the annual physical. Nothing in this episode constitutes medical, legal, or financial advice.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to returning guest Associate Professor José Areta to unpack one of the most debated topics in sports nutrition: energy availability, and what really happens when intake drops below demand.José takes a clear, physiology-first approach to explaining what energy availability actually means, why it has become such a dominant concept in exercise science, and whether the current narrative has become overly black-and-white. They explore his recent study examining the effects of a short, aggressive energy deficit, including what happens not just at a whole-body level, but deep within muscle tissue itself.In this conversation, they discuss the hormonal and metabolic responses to rapid weight loss, surprising findings around mitochondrial protein synthesis, and what changes in muscle and connective tissue might actually represent. José also reframes energy deficit as a biological stressor — one that may be adaptive in the right context — and challenges assumptions around how common and harmful low energy availability truly is.This is a nuanced, evidence-driven discussion that cuts through the noise and offers a more balanced perspective on energy deficit, performance, and long-term health.José L Areta currently works as an associate professor in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU.José examines how nutrition interacts with exercise to shape both performance and health, with a focus on macronutrient timing and composition, the role of supplements in optimisation, and the hormonal and metabolic responses to energy restriction.José can be found at:https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-areta Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41182317/Previous appearance https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/124  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Should you combine strength training and cardio—or does one compromise the other?In this episode, we explore the concept of concurrent training and the long-debated “interference effect”—the idea that adding cardio to a strength program may blunt gains in muscle size and strength. For decades, researchers and practitioners have debated whether you can truly optimize both at the same time.We break down a brand-new study investigating strength training alone versus concurrent training, and what the latest evidence tells us about hypertrophy, performance, and overall health outcomes. Does cardio actually interfere with your results, or is the concern overstated?As always, we cut through the noise and focus on what matters most: how to apply the science in a way that helps you train more effectively—and get better results.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.
