Today's guest is Rett Larson, strength coach for the German Women's Volleyball Team and creator of the "No Zombies" training philosophy. Rett coached Olympic medalists with China and the Netherlands, blending energy, rhythm, and purposeful movement into world-class performance. As sport expands into an increasingly more high-pressure, early specialization event that can easily suck fun and joy away, there grows a need for a "counter-culture" within athletic performance. Not only does a "physical preparation" process for athletes that is joyful and gamified lead to more fun within a training session, but it also develops important athletic qualities, within that umbrella of "fun" that may not be possible in more "traditional" sessions. Rett Larson is spearheading an active, engaging approach to the physical preparation process for athletes with warmups designed for joy, engagement, and a comprehensive stimulation of athletic qualities along the way. On today's episode, Rett speaks on a variety of engaging tools and gamifications in the warmup process for both thermogenic and neurological preparation. He goes into his take on partner exercises and isometrics, and the process of using a physical challenge to "sneak" strength and skill elements in the program.

Rett challenges that default. Why not flip the script? Start with something that actually taps into the nervous excitement athletes bring into day one. Instead of draining that spark, use it to build buy-in. What to try: • Kick things off with a creative team challenge instead of movement screens. • Replace punishments with something silly but memorable (e.g., team serenade or worm dance). • Avoid singling people out—no solo singing for introverts. The goal is laughter, not dread. 2️⃣ Rope Flow: Movement Puzzles that Stick If you've ever tried rope flow, you know it's strangely addicting. Rett uses it as a warm-up tool that hits thermogenic, rotational, and coordination qualities all in one. It's essentially a moving puzzle—and that makes it ideal for getting athletes out of zombie mode. What to try: • Add rope flow sequences early in warm-ups to raise body temp and spark engagement. • Mix in new patterns over time so it stays fresh. • Think of it as "motor learning meets party trick"—athletes love that feeling of leveling up. 3️⃣ Partner Work and Social Pressure: The Good Kind Warm-ups don't have to be solo grinds. In fact, the social element is part of the magic. Whether it's balloon volleys in a split squat or partner wall sits, Rett uses simple tools to inject teamwork, laughter, and just the right amount of peer pressure. What to try: • Design partner or trio-based warm-up drills to naturally boost effort and engagement. • Add tasks or games that distract from the burn (like volleying a balloon while holding a lunge).

Du får her en smakebit av den nyeste episoden i podkastserien "Med egne øyne", der erfarne norske journalister forteller om sine opplevelser fra karrieren. I denne episoden forteller TV2s Elin Sørsdahl om episoden hun kanskje huskes aller best for, nemlig når hun ble utsatt for Bård Tufte Johansens kyllingstunt på direkten.
I denne episoden spør vi et av de mest grunnleggende spørsmålene i kulturkrigen: Hva om vi har rett i saken, men feil i metoden?Vi ser nærmere på hva som skjer når kampen for sannhet og rettferdighet utkjempes med maktmidler, kynisme eller hastverk – og spør hvordan kristne kan navigere i et landskap preget av mistillit, polarisering og revolusjonære strømninger. Med utgangspunkt i USA, Trump, woke-ideologi og abortspørsmålet, diskuterer vi hvor grensene går for rett kamp – og hva som skjer når vi lar kampen for det gode overskygge kallet til å være hellige, sanne og nådefulle.For spørsmål, kommentarer eller innspill: post@kulturkrigen.no
I løpet av 100 år utvandrer rundt 900 000 nordmenn til USA. Hvem reiste, og hva visste de? Hva hadde de hørt om landet hvor de skulle starte sitt nye hjem og om menneskene som hadde blitt fordrevet derfra? Hvor mange fant lykken i den nye verden og hvilke skjebner har gått unevnt i beretningen om livet i Amerika? I denne bonusepisoden tar vi utgangspunkt i Gamle greier sine episoder om USA-utvandrerne og Nasjonalbibliotekets markering av Utvandrermarkeringen 2025. Med Henrik Mathisen, fagansvarlig for Nasjonalbibliotekets utstilling “Rett vest - drømmen om et bedre liv i Amerika”. Og Professor i Historie ved Universitet i Oslo, Hilde Sandvik. Hosted on Acast.

Rett på sak er et bedre, usensurert og ærlig alternativ til NRK Nyhetsmorgen, med programleder Espen Teigen.God morgen! Selv 17. mai er nå blitt en politisk slagmark. Politikere, antirasister og feminister går til angrep på «nasjonalfølelsen», og pakker den inn med en illeluktende nasjonalisme.Det hele skal fjernes fra vår fortid, og vi skal ikke snakke lenger om våre forfedre og den kampen som er kjempet for våre friheter.Samtidig ser vi et storstilt oppgjør med Palestina-aktivister over hele vesten. Stadig flere er lei av boikott, aksjoner og demonstrasjoner all mas. Enten er det klima eller så er det Gaza. Ingenting har med vanlige folks problemer å gjøre.En stor reportasje fra TV 2 viser at de 20 mest hyperkriminelle i Oslo har 1298 saker på seg hos politiet.

Rett på sak er et bedre, usensurert og ærlig alternativ til NRK Nyhetsmorgen, med programleder Espen Teigen.God morgen! Det er duket for en spennende sending sammen med vår forlagsredaktør Christian Skaug. Den siste tiden har vært preget av en ny og grufull gruppevoldtekt av en 13 år gammel norsk jente. Samtlige gjerningsmenn har bakgrunn fra Syria.Samtidig ser vi at det brygger opp til stadig verre forhold i både Irland og Storbritannia, hvor de innfødte sier klart og tydelig ifra at det ikke lenger er mulig å fortsette med masseinnvandring som eksperiment. Nyhetsbildet er ellers fylt med Donald Trump. Det store spørsmålet er: Hva er sant og ikke?Her hjemme i Norge har Kristelig Folkeparti (KrF) bestemt seg for å starte kampen mot woke. Først ute er å stoppe flagging med pride-flagg på offisielle flaggstenger. Noe som ble omgjort kun for noen år siden.Som alltid får du dagens viktigste nyheter.

Hvor er vi på aksjemarkedets berg-og-dal-bane nå? Rett under stupet eller i bunnen? I ukens episode av Finansredaksjonen snakker vi om de vanvittige utslagene Donald Trumps tolldeklarasjon i forrige uke har gitt i markedene. Hovedindeksen på Oslo Børs er ned nær ni prosent den siste uken. Fallet forsterkes av lavere oljepris. Oljeprisfallet må ses i sammenheng med den svært uheldige timingen (eventuelt en kalkulert en) på Opec+-landenes beslutning forrige torsdag om å øke produksjonen av olje. Oljeprisen faller i tillegg fordi sannsynligheten for resesjon i verdensøkonomien har økt med Trumps Markedet ble også vettskremt av at Kina annonserte at de øker tollen på amerikanske varer med like mye som USA satt på kinesiske varer. Handelskrigen er virkelig i gang. Det snakker vi om i Finansredaksjonen denne uken. Trumps tro på at økt toll vil føre til at andre land flytter sin produksjon til USA er basert på en vurdering av at selskaper verden over stoler på Trump. Men hvilke selskaper ønsker å ta store investeringsbeslutninger som å flytte produksjon til USA, når Trump er kjent for endre tidligere beslutninger i høyt tempo?Verdenshandelen har vært basert på en grunnleggende tillit til at land vil oppfylle sine forpliktelser og følge et sett med regler som bidrar til best mulig utfall for alle parter. Den tilliten har Trump brutt. Det kan få katastrofale følger for verdensøkonomien. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 187: Autism FundamentalsFuture Dr. Ayyagari explains the recommended screenings for autism, how to diagnose it and sheds some light on the management. Dr. Arreaza mentions the Savant Syndrome and the need to recognize ASD as a spectrum and not a “black or white” condition.Written by Tejasvi Ayyagari, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction:Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person thinks, interacts with others, and experiences the world. It is characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction and restricted and/or repetitive behavior patterns, interests, and activities. Autism is considered a "spectrum" disorder because it encompasses a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of functioning, including Asperger's, Auditory processing disorder, Rett syndrome, etc. The exact causes of autism are not fully understood, but many question genetic and environmental factors at play. What are some of the main characteristics of autism?1. Social difficulties: Individuals with autism may experience trouble understanding social cues or body language, leading to difficulty forming meaningful relationships. Children may display little interest in playing with others or engage in limited imaginative play (doll playing, pretend playing).2. Repetitive behaviors and interests: People with autism may engage in repetitive movements with their arms or hands and focus intensely on specific topics or activities. They may become distressed when routines are disrupted.3. Overstimulation: Individuals with autism may find multiple stimuli too overwhelming and gravitate towards either minimal stimulation or certain appealing stimulations best suited for their needs. 4. Intellectual variation: People with autism can have varying intellectual abilities, from severe mental disabilities to those who excel in specific disciplines, such as accounting or history (savants). Savant syndrome. It is a syndrome popularized by movies, TV shows and social media. The Good Doctor is a good example of it. Savant syndrome manifests by having a superior specific set of skills in a developmentally disabled person. Savants are like human supercomputers—while the rest of us are buffering, they can recall in 4K. We must not assume all people with autism are savants, unless we are particularly told about their exceptional talent.Another famous person with Savant syndrome was Kim Peek, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the 1988 movie The Rain Man. Kim Peek was later diagnosed with the FG syndrome and not autism spectrum disorder.What is the prevalence of autism?Worldwide, it is estimated that about 1 in 100 to 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, though this number can vary based on the country and diagnostic practices. In the United States, according to the CDC, as of 2023, approximately 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism. Some studies even claim that boys are 4x more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.It is a very prevalent condition, and we have some recommendations about screenings. I feel like most parents have a “feeling” that something may be wrong with their kid, but I think most parents may feel that way, especially when they have their first baby.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children should be screened for autism at 18 months and 24 months of age during routine well-child visits, using standardized tools like the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) or other validated autism screening tools. MCHAT is a two-step screening that requires a second visit if the first test shows moderate risk. Also, we must continue to follow up the development of kids in well child visits and be on the lookout for signs of autism, even outside of the recommended screening ages. How is autism diagnosed?Autism is typically diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 3, but it is often identified in early childhood. According to the DSM-5, there are two main clusters of symptoms for autism.- Cluster A: Involves social communication and interaction impairments in various settings.- Cluster B: Involves repetitive behavioral patterns, limited areas of interest, and atypical sensory behaviors/experiences.According to the DSM-5-TR criteria, a diagnosis of ASD requires that the following criteria are met:All three of the following Cluster A symptoms:- Social-emotional reciprocity: Difficulty engaging in mutually enjoyable conversations or interactions due to a lack of shared interests or understanding of others' thoughts and feelings.- Nonverbal communicative behaviors to socialize, such as using aspects with eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice, which makes communication more difficult.- Difficulty developing, understanding, and maintaining relationships: This could manifest as difficulty adjusting behavior to social settings, an inability to show expected social behaviors, a lack of interest in socializing, or difficulty making friends despite wanting to.Two or more of the following Cluster B symptoms:- Stereotyped or repetitive movements, use of objects, or speech: Echolalia or flapping the hands repeatedly.- Persistent sameness, where patients require adherence to routines or ritualized patterns of behavior, such as difficulty with transitions or a need to eat the same food each day.- Highly restricted, fixated interests: This may include an intense focus on specific objects (trains) or topics (such as dinosaurs or natural disasters).- Sensory response variations, including heightened or diminished responses to sensory input, such as adverse reactions to sounds, indifference to temperature, or excessive touching/smelling of objects.Additionally, the symptoms must:- Significantly impair social, academic/occupational, and daily functioning,- Not be better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay, and- Be present in early childhood. (However, symptoms may only become apparent when social demands exceed the child's capacity; in later life, they may be masked by learned strategies.)How can we go about managing autism?There is no "cure" for Autism. However, various therapies can help manage the condition. Treatment tailors to the individual's age, strengths, and weaknesses. Our main goal is to maximize function, encourage independence, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.During office visits as primary care doctors, we have to use different strategies to make the visits more focused on individual needs, making sure the caregivers are involved as well as the patient. We communicate with caregivers before and during the visit to optimize patient compliance, allow enough time for the family/caregiver to talk about the patient's history, allow the patient to play with instruments/materials provided, and use simple instructions. Sometimes, the physical exam can be the most challenging aspect of the exam because it is so overstimulating for the patient. Hence, allowing enough time for the patient to be comfortable is key.This is a multidisciplinary management that includes, family med, pediatricians, social workers, behavioral health, etc.Personal experiences interacting and managing patients with autism in the clinic or in the hospital:Dr. Arreaza: I have seen a lot of adult patients with autism.I see a challenge commonly found is agitation and the use of medications. I prefer to defer any prescriptions to psychiatry, if needed, but behavioral concerns can be successfully managed by behavioral health with participation of family, caregivers, and especial education.TJ: Personal story with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).Conclusions: Dr. Arreaza: Autism is a spectrum, not all persons with ASD are the same. They are not all geniuses, and they are not all developmentally delayed, they are not just black or white, but there are several shades of gray in between. TJ: Not one doctor or one family will take care all responsibility, it requires a multifaceted approach.People with autism can live a long and meaningful lives.Thank you for listening to this week's episode on Autism.

Likevel kan gamle mønstre og enkelte relasjoner få deg til å tvile på din egen verdi. Har du perioder der du tilpasser deg, unnskylder deg og tåler mer enn du burde? Da er du ikke alene, men hva om du kunne stå stødig i deg selv og velge relasjoner som løfter deg? Vet du hvem som ser deg – virkelig ser deg? Hvem som møter deg på dine verdier? Og hvordan du kan skape sunne, nærende og gode relasjoner? Når du begynner å verdsette deg selv, skjer noe magisk: De rette menneskene trekkes inn i livet ditt. Du lærer å lytte til magefølelsen, og møte deg selv med kjærlighet – hver dag. Du kjenner i hele kroppen at du fortjener å bli møtt med respekt og varme. Lytt og la deg inspirere!
