Podcasts about extreme fitness

When you think about your health, what is it that you picture? When you push yourself to workout, what do you say to yourself? Do you exercise because you hate your body and want to change it? Do you think about how you look or how many pounds you want to lose? If you find yourself focusing on fitness because it's supposed to change your body composition, you may be missing the bigger picture of what health means.This week Jenn is talking about untying the knot of fitness and body composition. Many times, we can get stuck in a cycle of obsessing over what we look like in the mirror, and the results will determine whether we are “healthy” or not. But what if we looked at all the other factors that go into health? During this episode, Jenn discusses how psychology plays into our feelings around our fitness regime, the hierarchy of movement, and what the other parts of health include. She describes how she utilizes tracking with her clients so they can see what their habits are when they are feeling their best. Tune in to learn how to reframe your thoughts around exercise and appreciate the miracle of the body you have. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [7:28] Why is there confusion with fitness and body composition? [12:00] How does psychology play into our feelings around our fitness routines? [20:18] How can you determine what your desired outcome actually is? [25:29] What's the first step to reframing our feelings around fitness and health? [28:35] What is the hierarchy of movement? [30:15] What are the other factors of health? [34:19] How does Jenn utilize tracking with her clients? [37:58] How can you separate movement from the way your body looks? [42:27] Jenn shares her thoughts around BMI and motivation. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Health isn't just fitness and nutrition. Expand your definition of what it means to live a healthy life to include your mental health, happiness, energy, and sleep quality.To determine what habits set you up for success, track your stress level, mood, sleep, energy, confidence and then look to see on which days you felt the best, what habits you were doing.Your body is an absolute miracle. Creating awareness and reframing your thoughts around your body and appreciating all the things it does for you, allows you to look at a new narrative. QUOTES: [27:04] “When I first start working with a client, we don't talk about the movement component in depth for about a month and it's on their radar anyway. It's almost like by not hyper focusing on it, and giving them other tools and things that we're building on each week, it inherently starts to diminish some of that importance on that activity or the intensity of that activity.” - Jenn Trepeck [28:01] “Just as we know it's not human to be sitting all day, it's also not human to sit all day and go berserk for an hour.” - Jenn Trepeck[30:04] “There isn't one thing we're going to do for our health that is going to trump or outshine or outdo the other pieces of health.” - Jenn Trepeck[40:11] “What if during our movement, we could just sort of have a moment of wonder at how amazing this human body is, and thank goodness we don't have to think about which muscles move to make a movement happen and to breathe and to make sure the heart beats, and all of these things, like the body is an absolute miracle.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:LAST CHANCE: Tickets to Salad with a Side of Fries LIVE in NYC on July 25, 2024The Ultimate BioHack EpisodeLongevity Equation EpisodeBlue Zones EpisodeBiostack over Biohack EpisodeJenn Trepeck's Episode on Weight Loss and Wellness For RealBecome A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries Instagram

In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Radke, the host of the podcast Fat Girl Book Club and a podcasting coach.  Her body image journey started with sneaking cookie dough out of the deep freezer at the age of eight.  She moved through approximately 20 different diets, had at least three goal-weight celebrations, took part in two bodybuilding competitions, and it all culminated in an eating disorder.  When she finally figured out that she would never diet her way to self-love, she started reading.  As she read, so many things began to fall into place and now her focus is on using the Fat Girl Bookclub podcast to help others see that their body is something to cherish and love. Content warning: We touch on disordered and obsessive exercise, body image, weight, and eating disorders. Topics Joining diet culture later in life (20s)Magazines and beauty standards in the 80's and 90'sThe money we've spent on diet companies and productsHospitalization from disordered exercisingAbuse from “Nutritionists”AbleismWeight cyclingLinks:What celeb trainer Jillian Michaels got wrong about Lizzo and body positivity Weight cycling is associated with a higher risk of death | Endocrine Society Health at Every SizeFat Characters in TV and Film Need Depth Beyond Their Weight | POPSUGAR Entertainment 7 Seemingly Empowering Body-Positive Phrases That Actually Reinforce Ableism 85 years of Chatelaine magazine covers Girl Talk Series by L.E.

Spartan Races have become a worldwide phenomenon. Weekend warriors and elite, endurance athletes go into battle on military-style obstacle courses, mostly just for the fun of it. The Spartan Race is the brainchild of Joe De Sena, a former Wall Street trader who was so bothered by his sedentary lifestyle, that he gave up his lucrative career to spend more time outside. He quickly became addicted to adventure, and activity that worked his body to exhaustion. An entrepreneur from an early age, Joe made good money from his desk job, but he always yearned for a life of physical challenges. After competing in ironman triathlons and other ultra endurance events, he created the Death Race, followed by the Spartan Race, an event that is more accessible to the masses. After a difficult start, the race has grown into a global challenge, across 40 counties, with millions taking part every year. Joe is the author of Spartan Up!: A Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Peak Performance in Life - and he hosts the Spartan Up podcast. In this LLAMA podcast interview, with Peter Bowes, Joe explains why he believes humans need to sweat and challenge themselves. He also discusses the mental and physical benefits of enduring a reasonable amount of pain, and why it's so important to step outside of your comfort zone.

A few weeks ago, a friend emailed me and said: "I just got off the phone with John Jaquish, PhD, the inventor of something called the . He is an inventor, author, and scientist who stumbled upon his life’s mission to promote bone health and advance osteogenic loading research after his mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Determined to help her and others suffering from musculoskeletal conditions and pain, John developed amazing biotechnology devices that increase bone density, strengthen muscles, and improve stability while reducing injury risk." The email went on to describe how you could use John's research to increase your bone density in just 10 minutes a week, and how you can put on more muscle in less time by leveraging John’s biomedical engineering wisdom – and this thing called an that he invented. So I looked into Dr. Jaquish, and also got an for myself to play around with. Turns out, he began his experience in life sciences after being told by his Mother that she had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. John, in an effort to help his mother, created a device to place axial loading through bone to safely cause osteogenic loading events. The device was to trigger the effects of high-impact loading, but without the risk of injury. After successfully reversing his Mother's osteoporosis, as part of his doctoral dissertation in biomedical engineering research at Rushmore University, he conducted four years of testing with human subjects focused on user comfort, biomechanics, and optimal musculoskeletal stimulation.

Wil Hahn, a professional motocross racer, broke his hand in practice at the last round of the Supercross series, raced the main event with a broken hand, got 3rd place, then went on to won the overall title by a couple points.  Motocross is an extreme sport... ...outdoor motocross races occur in the heat of the day at for 30 minutes plus 2 laps, riding in full gear at lactate threshold for the entire time... ..."armpump” can be a serious, painful problem when racing... ...dangerous levels of dehydration are extremely common... ...and in this BenGreenfieldFitness phone app insider interview with Wil, you'll find out what kind of fitness and nutrition plan is necessary to succeed in one of the toughest sports on the face of the planet. Wil and I compare Ironman triathlon to motocross, talk about Wil's motocross fitness routine, what Wil eats and drinks for motocross, tracking heart rates, racing with an injury, and more! Don't believe that motocross is an extreme sport that  just might beat up your body more than any other sport? Then watch this crazy crash sequence video with Wil Hahn, and then keep reading for a motocross fitness routine... An Extreme Fitness Routine Motocross requires a combination of coordination, strength, power and extreme lactic acid buffering capabilities. To build this kind of extreme fitness, try the following full body exercise routine, performed three times per week. -5-10 minute dynamic warm-up (Don't know what a dynamic warm-up is? Read this mobility article.) -3-4 sets of 6-10 reps of each of the following, performed as either a circuit for an extreme twist, or with 60 seconds to 2 minutes recovery after each exercise for a more traditional approach (get exercise videos at YouTube.com/BenGreenfieldFitness) Vertical Pulling (i.e. pull-up) Vertical Pushing (i.e. overhead press) Horizontal Pulling (i.e. seated row) Horizontal Pushing (i.e. incline bench press) Double or Single Leg Strength (i.e. squat) Lift (i.e. deadlift) 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps of any or all of the following, performed as either a circuit, or with 60 seconds to 2 minutes recovery after each exercise: Slams (i.e. medicine ball slams) Throws (i.e. medicine ball throws) Tosses (i.e. medicine ball underhand throws) Jumps (i.e. double leg box jumps) Finish with 3 sets of 12-15 reps, back-to-back, of each of the following: Twists (i.e. cable torso twists) Core flexion (i.e. hanging leg raises) Then, at a separate time of day, or on your “non-lifting” day, do 20-30 minutes of high intensity interval training, which would include treadmill or cycling intervals, rowing, swimming, sprint repeats etc., preferably with time lengths of 20-60 seconds and rest intervals of 10-30 seconds. Assuming you're also practicing or playing a sport, this routine is more than enough to get you fit fast. If you're not practicing or playing a sport, you may want to add in a 2-4 extra 30-60 minute "tempo" or aerobic workouts. After you take a listen to the interview (using the free BenGreenfieldFitness phone app), or after you try the motocross fitness routine, leave your questions, comments and feedback at http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/?p=13203
