Healthy Rants with The Two Fit Crazies - Episode 245

The Two Fit Crazies And A Microphone Podcast

Episode 245 - Healthy Rants with The Two Fit Crazies

“Today we are going to work on our mental health….sometimes you need to vent or rant to get things off your chest…like how many times each day are you solicited by strangers on social media can solve all of your problems if you simply give them tons of money…#annoyed” - Christine Conti

“LinkedIn messages are the new way to cold call…they always know EXACTLY WHAT I NEED to…grow my business…get more clients…improve my followers on social media.” - Brian Prendergast

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast has been a long time in the making. For over four years, Christine and Brian have been dancing around some of their most irritating pet peeves, but today, it all changes! Are you bombarded by strangers on your social media feeds pressuring you to buy their programs, potions, and pills with false promises of eternal health, more Instagram followers, or better yet, millions of dollars in hidden revenue? Me, too! Does everyone seem to know “exactly what you need” to “solve all of your problems?” Me, too! Are you completely annoyed by “Peter” who is currently contacting you from a small Thai village with the promise of bringing you fortune and fame from your impending collaboration? Attend my seminar, download my manual, input your credit card, bank account or social security number. It’s that easy! And all you are thinking is, “Thank God for this random person who just made my life complete!” You will not want to miss this hysterical, yet completely accurate rant session with the Two Fit Crazies! Can you relate? 

Rant Over!

“I hate exercise!” - Mike Kelly                          

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, the fit crazies head back to Canada to speak with a formidable fitness maverick from Ottawa by the name of Mike Kelly. Otherwise known as “the cynical trainer,” Mike’s 40+ years in the fitness industry has led to his greatest discovery, “…I hate exercise, but do it anyway.” You heard it right! Listen closely as Mike reveals his love for Jack LaLanne and then delves into why he believes everyone dislikes exercise. Mike is fascinated with what WE can do to overcome this far-reaching problem that is wreaking havoc on a rising number of people around-the-globe.

What are you doing to give back to your community? How are you serving others?

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine are blown away by the selflessness and servitude exhibited by an awesome woman named Randi Einsenshtat. Joining the show from Del Ray, Florida, Randi is a financial advisor who also just so happens to have a ton of experience teaching and managing the most exclusive and successful fitness facilities in the world like EQUINOX and LifeTime.

She reflects on teaching spin class in the middle of Times Square, riding her bike 150 miles for MS, and successfully raising funds for Auggies Quest, cancer research, and more. Randi admits she feels disconnected if she is not associated with a charity fundraiser. Listen up to hear about Randi’s newest fundraising project, Rise Up For Sunrise, a donation fitness experience to benefit the Sunrise Day Camp, a free Long Island-based camp for children with cancer.

Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense - Episode 237

Episode 237 - Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who specializes in bariatric nutrition therapy and weight loss. She graduated from Western Illinois University and has worked as a nutritionist at MultiCare Health Systems and Veterans Affairs.

 

“I’m focused on data over dogma!”

“…80% of chronic conditions can be prevented or delayed…”

-Carlee Hayes

                          

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine have an awesome conversation with Carlee Hayes. Joining the show from Washington state, Carlee discusses how her frustration with the reactive world of nutrition and medicine lead her to join forces with a start-up tech company called NutriSense. Carlee, who currently serves as the company’s lead registered dietitian nutritionist, delves into the fascinating new world of wearables that she believes are key to improving metabolic health. “Continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, is a 14-day patch that attaches to the back of your arm. It relays 24/7 data about your glucose levels to an APP on your phone.”  Carlee also discusses how this new technology developed by NutriSense may be the key to prevent or even delay the onset of various chronic conditions that are linked to the body’s inability to regulate glucose levels. And if that’s not enough, listen up athletes and runners!  You are going to fall in love with this new wearable that can help to track glucose levels to determine your individualized plan for optimal hydration and nutrition for all your future adventures! Let’s use data over dogma and take control over our health!

Christine Runs 100 Miles! - Episode 231

Episode 231 - Christine Runs 100 Miles!

“To finish a 100 mile race, it’s not about physical toughness…it’s about mental toughness and

mindset.”

“There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not finish…the key was to find a wolfpack and stick together…we promised each other we would all finish.” - Christine

 

What must it be like to run 100 miles? In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies bring you the long-awaited recap of the C and O Canal 100 Mile Race! Sit back and take in all the craziness as Brian asks Christine how she got her hands on one of the most coveted prizes in the ultra-endurance world, a finishers belt buckle. Listen up as Christine dishes out the wild details of what goes into completing an ultra-endurance race. From gathering a loyal crew, eating a pound of bacon, climbing muddy cliffs in pitch black pouring rain, to spotting black bear cubs and dealing with hallucinations, you will want to run out and sign up for the next ultra-event near you. That may be a bit of a lie after you hear about the toenail casualties and the fact that over half of the athletes that showed up at the starting line never finished. Also, hear a huge shout out to Angel Bob, Dr. Mindy, Shannon, and Marley the Puppy for being the best crew in the world, and of course Mike Conti! Wait until you hear about how Christine’s husband stepped up in the middle of a cold rainy night to pace her in for the last 30 miles. That goodness for old school rap music!

 

If you forgot why this podcast is called the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone, prepare to be reminded! Now go out and do something fit crazie!

Get ready for another awesome guest today on The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast. Let’s welcome MOXIE master trainer, Jenn Blackburn, to the show who is joining us from her home in DC.

And, if you love to take group fitness classes and looking to join virtual groups taught by some of the most experienced and well-known fit pros in the world, you are in luck. Jenn also sheds light on the “why” behind MOXIE and what makes this platform outshine the rest!

Episode 226 - Hank Ebeling IV - Founder of H4 Training, Business Coach and Author of Crushing the Competition with Service

“At an early age in my fitness career, I was ingrained with the importance of customer service...put people first and the profits will come.” - Hank Ebeling IV

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Hank Ebeling IV joins the Fit Crazies to shed some light on the MOST IMPORTANT skill to master in order grow your business while “crushing the competition.” Listen up as Hank breaks down proven methods for success as detailed in latest book, Crushing the Competition with Service. After receiving an exercise science degree from UNLV, Hank learned firsthand the importance of providing exceptional customer service from some of the top hotels and health clubs on the Las Vegas Strip. From the Venetian to Equinox Sports Clubs, Hank recalls how a simple handshake, a welcoming remark, remembering someone’s favorite sports team, or what they prefer in their coffee can make the difference between a fleeting client and a life-long membership. In the last decade, Hank continued to educate himself about the power of growing a business with a focus on stellar customer experience alongside fitness legends such as Rick Mayo, Todd Durkin, Allan Cosgrove, Mike Boyle and more. In 2013, Hank founded and opened the doors to H4 Training, a small group training facility just west of Chicago. In a few short years, Hank’s success led to the opening of his second location in 2017, and a third location is in the works. Get ready to take some notes and level-up your customer service so you, too, can “CRUSH THE COMPETITION!”
