“Hi, I’m Monica and I podcast out of my closet.”

In Episode 75, the Two Fit Crazies had the pleasure of interviewing Monica Rivera, a self-proclaimed “MULTI-POTENTIALITE” (a fancy word for one with MANY interests) who also just happens to be a VERY successful podcast host.  Monica is the creator of, “YOU WANNA DO WHAT,” a show that she states is “about exploring interests-allowing ourselves to change, choose and try.” However, the Two Fit Crazies love a GREAT story, and Monica is no exception. As a first-generation Latina growing up in the Bronx, Monica shares her story of great adversity and soul searching which finally lead her to quit her unfulfilling corporate job to chase her passion to change lives. Hear the approach that Monica takes as she works her way up to becoming not only a Spartan competition, but an NPR Fellowship recipient as well! Like many of us, Monica Rivera was sick and tired of living someone else’s dream, so listen up as she shares some of her best practices to gain the momentum you need to change your life. Monica Rivera “walks the walk!” Listen closely because it may just change your life!

Peace on Earth Goodwill Towards Men (Except for the Self Proclaimed Guru) - The TFCs Navigate the Holidays - Episode 70

Episode 70

Peace on Earth Goodwill Towards Men (Except for the Self-Proclaimed Gurus) - The TFCs Navigate the Holidays

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

-John Wooden

 

In Episode 70, the Two Fit Crazies will help you face the Bermuda Triangle of Holidays. This is what Brian refers to as the time between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. Stress levels are high, diets suffer, workouts are set aside, money is tight, sleep is at a minimum, and there is NEVER enough time in the day to get everything done. The holidays are supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, right?

On top of that, everywhere you look there are self-proclaimed “gurus” and “experts” on television, social media, and more that make unsubstantiated promises that have all the answers, so you can live YOUR BEST LIFE. They seem to have “it” all figured out. Do this. Eat and drink that. Buy this. In actuality, no one has it all figured out….and that’s okay! Christine and Brian offer their advice on how to identify and avoid being duped by false claims and how to embrace things, people, and ideas in life that brings you joy! There is not ONE thing in life that will solve all of your problems. Take a little something from everyone out there, and if you don’t believe us, go read some quotes from John Wooden!

Peace, Love, and Joy…to almost everyone!

Data, Technology and Apps – The Best of Times? Or the Worst of Times? - Episode 64

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast

Episode 64 – Data, Technology and Apps – The Best of Times? Or the Worst of Times?

 

In Episode 64 Christine and Brian chat about the “Pros and Cons” and the necessity, or lack of, surrounding the incredible amount of technology, apps and tools, designed to benefit our health, at our disposal in today’s marketplace.

Are these advancements our greatest allies in achieving great health? Has the pendulum swung too far? Have we become too reliant on tech and data? What happens when our gadgets break (we’re looking at you Garmin)? Does common science lack common sense? With everything that’s out there now, what will they possibly think of next?

Find out what the Two Fit Crazies have to say on the topic here in Episode 64 of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast.

 

Yours In Good Health!

Knowing Your Worth and the Value of Your Time - Episode 63

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast

Episode 63 - Knowing Your Worth and the Value of Your Time

 

In Episode 63 the Two Fit Crazies discuss, the commodities, time and money and how they relate to our health, our training and the life of professional trainers and coaches.

The two things most commonly heard when we speak with clients, potential or otherwise, is:

A.      “I don’t have the time.”

and

B.      Joining a gym or having a trainer and/or coach “is too expensive.”

 

In Episode 63, Brian and Christine discuss solutions for making this work. In addition, they discuss the reasons why the industry standards for trainers and coaches are as such and the reasons why clients should seek only the best.  

Whether it is money or time, be sure to spend it wisely!

 

Yours In Good Health!
