In Episode 187, the Two Fit Crazies continue their streak of amazing Canadian health and wellness rock stars with the co-owner of Urban Poling, Diana Oliver. Joining the show from Ontario, Diana reveals the powerful fitness and rehabilitation benefits from Urban Poling, most known as “Nordic walking.” First developed by occupational therapist and gerontologist, Mandy Shintani, Urban Poling was born from her avid desire to promote life-long fitness, active living, and her passion for the outdoors. As Diana explains, Urban Poling is not only for the fitness enthusiast who is looking for a more intense walking workout, but also for rehabilitation programs that are suitable for the arthritic population, cardiac rehab, pre/post hip or knee surgeries, balance issues, and more. Diana also shares her personal story of how she used Urban Poling to help rehabilitate a life-threatening heart condition after giving birth to her second child. You are going to be blown away by the endless benefits of incorporating Urban Poling into your life. Not only does it activate 90% of the muscles in your body, but you will burn over 20% more calories than traditional walking.

The Two Fit Crazies cannot wait to start Urban Poling! We are all in and we know that you will be too!

If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”

Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

“Use the present moment to be healthy.” - Dr Glenn Livingston

“In order to fix people, I had to get into their head...understand the whole picture.” - Dr. John Connors

In Episode 167, the Two Fit Crazies were on location in Little Silver, New Jersey and surrounded by life-sized murals and pictures of the world-class athletes who owe a great deal of their success to Dr. John Connors DPM and Dr Kathleen Trotter DPM. Dr. Connors, ​a world-renowned sports podiatrist, discusses how his love for “fixing” people led him to be considered one of the most coveted medical providers to elite athletes including both professional and Olympic runners. Along with Dr. Trotter, who happens to be an 8x All-American and 2x National Champion runner at Stanford University, this dynamic duo takes great pride in their ability to get their athletes back on track, no pun intended, as quickly as possible. Dr. Connors and Dr. Trotter discusses the latest treatments and procedures from stem cell and plasma injections, to shockwave therapy, to fascia tissue surgeries that have proven to get elite runners back to their best in 30 days. Be sure to check out some of the testimonials from Jon Bon Jovi, Christie Rampone, ​Lineth Chepkurui, Leonel “Leo” Manzano and more! Included in our conversation are a few of Dr. Connors’ top vignettes from his seemingly endless catalogue of stories from helping the worlds greatest runners get back on their feet, literally and figuratively. ​There is a reason Dr. Connors and Dr Trotter are known as the best in the biz when it comes to “fixing people”!
