Episode 319 - Hilary Topper - Author - From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete


“I really changed my life a lot…I was doing all the bad things…drinking, smoking cigarettes…I felt if I could do it, anyone could do it! You are never too old, too overweight…” 

-Hilary Topper, Author of From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete.

What does it mean to be an athlete? For author Hilary Topper who never considered herself an athlete, turning 48 was the beginning of an adventure she never could have predicted. Today we welcome Hilary to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast from her home in Long Island to share her journey from “couch potato” to endurance athlete. After realizing she had to make a change in her unhealthy lifestyle, Hilary is here to discuss how she went about hiring a trainer, finding some accountability partners, joining some training groups, and embracing her new life. Hilary also dispels the myths surrounding the ability to be an “endurance athlete,” even if you have never competed in sports before. Now, she is using her experiences to inspire others that “anyone can do it” through her book, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. Learn more about Hilary, grab the book, or read her very witty and inspiring blogs by heading to her Instagram page and Linktree @hilarytopper.

Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast - Episode 275

Episode 275 - Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast 

“For me, running became a kind of game…I ran to the next bridge….then the next…” “My favorite part of the Boston Marathon…it sends the tingle up your spine.” 

“...I first started writing a blog…but I love writing human interest stories…” Chrissy Horan  

 

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, let’s welcome running enthusiast and freelance writer, Chrissy Horan. Chrissy, a Long Island native, who also happens to be Christine’s childhood volleyball teammate, is here to share how her unexpected love for running led her to become an experienced marathon runner, volunteer, fundraiser and freelance writer. Chrissy, a former obesity researcher, claims to have always “dreaded running” until she moved to Boston in 2000 and began running along the historic Charles River. For Chrissy, her competitive nature enabled her to turn her running into “a kind of game,” running just a little farther each run. Fast forward, Chrissy Horan has established herself as a runner who not only takes pride in raising funds and awareness for charities such as the Alzheimer’s Association, but also writing about current research and human interest stories related to the sport. Chrissy’s articles have been featured in Runner’s World, the Boston Globe, Women’s Running and Boston.com. In fact, she even wrote an amazing evidence-based article shedding light on the benefits of running to fight Rheumatoid Arthritis that featured a cameo by one of the “Fit

Crazies.” Learn more about Chrissy Horan and read her latest blogs and articles at www.ChrissyHoran.com.

“I turned 40…I was so tired of being unfulfilled…Whatever the “new thing” was, I tried it…Any diet is a repackaged restriction…” 

“It’s never too late to be happy. 

What is a “doughnut diary?” In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Rachel Lavin explains exactly what led her to write, The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer’s Tale of Being Every Size from 12 Through 0! After over twenty years as a fitness professional, Rachel is finally breaking her silence about how her love-hate relationship with doughnuts led to a life-changing epiphany. While Rachel does NOT promote the overindulgence of the sweet treat, she does promote the power of loving yourself in order to stop the “madness of dieting, restricting foods, or using exercise to make yourself smaller.” Get ready for a glimpse into what your life could look like once you stop hating your body and realizing that you are not alone.

Joining the show from her home overlooking Lake Huron in northern Michigan, Trina is about to unleash some powerful lessons learned over the past few decades that allowed her the ability to “show up calm and confident” to all that life had to throw at her. Listen carefully as Trina reveals how she was able to draw the strength and courage to leave her journalism career, move to a new state, start multiple businesses, and care for two young children. While Trina claims she was born with a certain decisiveness, she believes that her love for collaboration over competition has been a key factor in her success at building two successful fitness clubs in Michigan and her world-wide coaching success with BeachBody. To learn more about Trina, her speaking events, fitness clubs, BeachBody coaching, or even a bit more about her collaborations with the honorary “Fit Crazie,” Todd Durkin, take some notes as you listen to this episode or visit www.teamrockstarfit.com

“...what was a sad thing for me then, is a superpower for me now.” “...you can either keep reading all of the pages other people write…or you write how the story goes.” 

“Are you a fighter jet or a crop duster?” 

Let’s hear it for the man, the myth, the legend, the self-made entrepreneur, the “modern knight” himself, Bedros Keuilian. Joining the Two Fit Crazies from his headquarters in Chino, California, Bedros is about to rock your soul with one of the most powerful rags to riches story you will ever hear. Listen closely as Bedros shares what it was like to leave Russia with his family in 1980 in search of the American dream. From being destitute and living with his 5 family members in one-bedroom apartments, to “dumpster diving” for food, Bedros now believes “what was a sad thing for me then, is a superpower for me now!” Today, Bedros shares some of what he refers to as his “immigrant edge” that allowed him to unleash his hidden genius as an entrepreneur, consultant, investor, author, speaker, coach and more. Known as an expert to those who wish to “quickly scale their business and build impact-focused brands,” it is no

wonder that Bedros is also the CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp, the creator of the Modern Day Knight Project, and has been featured on television and in newspapers and magazines around the world. We guarantee that this episode will not only motivate you to run through a brick wall, but also inspire you to reach your full potential.

“The fulfillment in your life has to come from somewhere…be honest…”

“You get better at a job by what happens outside the job…learning, following-up...” - Paul Landini

 

While spring is making its first appearances at the Jersey shore for the Two Fit Crazies, just outside of Toronto the weather remains freezing for today’s guest, Paul Landini. In this episode, Paul, a Canadian rockstar personal trainer, writer, and fitness educator, shares his journey from “quitting his job and going all in” to following his passion for fitness and starting his own company. With a background in journalism and a desire to change lives, Paul discusses how he combined his love of writing and his love of personal training to create the fitness business of his dreams! Listen closely as Paul reveals how writing weekly blogs and authoring articles for the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s leading newspapers, allowed him the exposure and credibility needed to grow his client base and increase client retention. Regardless of your profession, Paul knows that “fulfillment in your life has to come from somewhere,” and until you find what “fills your cup,” you will miss the most important things in life.

“Stairs were my salvation.”

“When the worst in my life hit me, I turned to stairclimbing…it saved me.” - Sally Kalksma 

Is it possible to power through life when you are faced with unimaginable adversity? For Jersey shore native, Sally Kalksma, the answer is yes! In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, you will be blown away by this mother of three who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma shortly before her husband passed away from cancer. For Sally, she wasn’t about to throw in the towel, she was going to fight! Listen closely as Sally reveals how stairclimbing saved her and why she refers to stairs as her salvation. From the stairs of the Empire State Building to the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, Sally has conquered them all and she is just getting started. In 2021, Sally not only launched her first best-selling book, Life Gets in The Way: Powering Through Adversity with Grit & Grace, but also challenged Todd Durkin to a one-arm push-up competition while a guest on his podcast. Just for the record, we have our money on Sally. With her five-year remission anniversary on the horizon, Sally is a true inspiration! Enjoy!

Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!
