Episode 339 - Andrew Menter - Physmodo

“You cannot manage your movement if you cannot measure your movement.”

“Physmodo. We measure how people move in 30-seconds.”

It’s time for the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast with your favorite hosts, Christine Conti and Brian Prendergast! On today’s show, the Fit Crazies sit down with Andrew Menter, the CEO and mastermind behind Physmodo, a company that creates technology to aid in assessing how your body moves. Listen up as Andrew unpacks why it is so important to be able to complete a full-body assessment through a single movement that not only takes only 30 seconds, but also does not require a trainer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is “the real deal!” Physmodo provides objective scores with no human error by using specific indicators to denote poor movement. Now, Andrew is looking to help the world understand their misalignments to help reduce the risk and prevent injuries through Physmodo! Learn more at www.Physmodo.com or download the APP today!

Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running - Episode 81

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone

Episode 81 – Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running

“Never limit where running can take you.” Bart Yasso

In Episode 81, the Two Fit Crazies had the honor of speaking with the great Bart Yasso. Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Running”, Bart goes deep into his journey and life in running. Recently retired after 21 years at Runner’s World where he held the title of Chief Running Officer, Bart takes us from his first run in “cutoff jeans and a Budweiser t-shirt” to the “world’s toughest footrace” through Death Valley to a 5k in a nudist colony. And an interview with Bart would never be complete without getting the lowdown on the famous workout created by and named for him – the Yasso 800s, stating that “There isn’t a day that someone doesn’t mention Yasso 800’s.”

Bart is an incredibly genuine person with a passion for running and life. It felt like we were old friends catching up after some time apart. An inspiration to all that cross his path, we hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

 

Yours in Fitness (and running),

Brian and Christine – The Two Fit Crazies
