“I was training on the treadmill…it was not going fast enough, so I went backwards.”

“Let go of things in order to start swimming.” - Aaron Yoder

Aaron’s Mile World Record Video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MURoTYE8_k

In Episode 204 of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by a 7x World Champion and 6x World Record holder by the name of Aaron Yoder. Joining the show from Lindsborg, Kansas, where he current serves as the head track coach for Bethany College, Aaron is moving forward in life by going backwards. Aaron shares his story of what it was like to be a decorated runner in high school and college, only to be sidelined in his early twenties by what should have been a career-ending injury. Saying that Aaron made lemonade, or as I say, Lemon Martinis, out of lemons, is an understatement. After experimenting with backwards running on his home treadmill as a teenager, Aaron realized that this was “his calling” and HE WAS GOOD! In fact, Aaron reveals his secrets to “retro” running and what inspired him to set Guinness World Records and compete at 7 World Championships. You are bound to be impressed with Aaron not only for his incredible work ethic and ability to run 5-minute miles in reverse, but also for his desire to serve and inspire others as a collegiate coach. In fact, on Sunday, you can even find Aaron delivering sermons at his local church. Does this sound too good to be true? If, so, do yourself a favor and Google Aaron Yoder and watch him in action! He will not disappoint!

Stay Crazie!

“We all share the same mission; we want to improve the quality of peoples’ lives through movement and nutrition. Let’s shift the paradigm!” -Christine

In Episode 143, Brian and Christine reunite for a powerful conversation about shifting the paradigm that exists between the current state of medical professionals and fitness professionals around the world.  Christine talks about her recent trip to lecture at the Medical Fitness National Conference at the University of Irvine and discusses her trademarked facial fitness and rehabilitation program, Let’s FACE It Together™.  Both Brian and Christine elaborate on some of the latest research and studies to support the collaboration of both professions. While the traditional doctor “treats problems,” the fitness professional is interested in preventing problems and reducing the onset of diseases.  Let’s geek out on the research and studies that prove a healthy diet that includes movement will naturally lead you to live a more quality life! If you have yet to hear about the MedFit Network and Education Foundation, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Lisa Dougherty, it’s time to check it out and join the movement.

In Episode 93, Val told her story of she created a very successful “drumming fitness” company until she lost just about everything and entered a period in which she refers to as “dark times.” In this episode Val Shah is back to talk about her AMAZING new company that rose up like the PHOENIX that infuses elements of drumming with mindful practices that she refers to as DROM! Val shares the newest chapter in her life that she believes is her “true calling!” Val Shah is bringing DROM to conferences and workshops to help people discover the power in laughter, mindfulness, relationships, fitness, and positive mindset practices. Val’s passion is apparent when she talks about how she works with professional drummers to develop beats and rhythms to share at her interactive workshops.

Let’s get Val some drumsticks, a ball, a chair, or even a table and forget your worries and have some fun! We are super excited for Val and we know you will love learning about DROM!
