Marvin Towler - Trainer/Speaker/Instigator/Athlete - Episode 28

“Growing up, “instigator” always had a negative connotation…

…So I looked up what it means. And it’s someone who stirs the pot in a good way; and instigates change.” ~ Marvin Towler

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast

Episode 28 with Marvin Towler – Trainer/Speaker/Instigator/Athlete

In Episode 28, Christine and Brian sit down for a fun and thought-provoking conversation with admitted instigator Marvin Towler. Marvin is a talented Success Coach, coaching others in clarifying goals and working towards personal and professional success. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the personal development industry. Along his path to self-mastery he came across Gary Keller and Jay Papasan’s #1 best seller The ONE Thing, which had such an impact on him that he decided to become one of the first 40 people in the world to be certified to teach the powerful principals of productivity.

We discuss the importance of setting practical goals, developing positive habits, the myth of productivity via multi-tasking and the interesting benefits of having experienced adversity in our lives. And much, much more!

And one interesting side note, Marvin becomes our second straight guest to forgo a legal career to pursue greater passions in life. Ah, The Universe!!!!  A life-long student and consciousness explorer, Marvin Towler is constantly evolving and unfolding!

Episode 28! Enjoy!

Shane Barnard - Urban Kick - Episode 27

“It’s my job to make you feel better when you leave my class or workout than when you walked in. That’s my goal!” Shane Barnard – Creator of Urban Kick

In Episode 27 the Two Fit Crazies are joined by Shane Barnard, creator of Urban Kick, an innovative, exciting and athletic format workout that is taking group fitness by storm!

This is a fantastic chat. Developed from scratch using her background in dance, Urban Kick grew to where Shane was able to leave her career as an attorney behind to follow her dream and spread good health and fitness to the masses. And, my goodness, aren’t we the lucky ones for this! Shane has “it”!

Using sequences named after such notables as Flavor Flav, Jackie Chan and The Terminator, Urban Kick takes a sports conditioning approach and combines punch and kick sequences with H.I.I.T. drills, for a multi-level, fun and heart-healthy workout. It borrows from different martial art techniques such as: taekwondo, karate and muay thai kickboxing to create a total body cardio kickboxing workout that incorporates steady state cardiovascular training, metabolic boosting H.I.I.T. training and functional body-weight strength training for a dynamic and efficient workout.

And as has become an ongoing theme of the Podcast, we touch upon the current state of the fitness industry. We believe that you will appreciate Shane’s perspective. The Two Fit Crazies are detecting a common trend from the leaders in the industry.

Thank you, Shane, for developing your amazing Urban Kick program (and kicking your law practice to the curb).  We had a blast catching up with you!

Enjoy!

Brian Hanlon - Master Sculptor and Runner - Episode 26

“You Have To Have A Process. We Always Must Respect ‘Process’.” Master Sculptor and Masters Runner Brian Hanlon

In life, in athletics, in training, in health, in raising children and, as told by Master Sculptor Brian Hanlon, in sculpting amazing statues and making art; these words hold true.

In Episode 26, The Two Fit Crazies sit down with world renown sculptor Brian Hanlon of Hanlon Sculpture Studio to discuss his amazing “one in a billion” career in the art world, his lifelong passion for sports, running, athletics and that space where the influences of each overlap.

Mr. Hanlon discusses the influential role that running, exercise and fitness plays in maintaining his “spiritual fitness”, an all important piece to his life and work and something that he sees in some of the greatest coaches of our time as well.

In addition, we tap into his amazing running career that began as an unruly high school harrier and led becoming a late arrival and captain of Division 1 Monmouth University, on up to the upcoming USATF Indoor Masters 3000 meter Championships.

And of course, there’s his amazing professional portfolio which includes over 500 sculptures scattered throughout the country on college campuses, stadiums, arenas, parks, plazas and places of interest. There’s a story behind each creation, of which he casts in bronze. From Jackie Robinson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neill, Jerry Tarkanian, Evander Holyfield, Yogi Berra and Ms. America to his work with the Rose Bowl, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Syracuse University and his role as the Official Master Sculpture for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The list (and stories) goes on and on!

He is a special guy and it’s fair to say that Brian Hanlon can spin a yarn. We hope that you enjoy this as much as we did. 

Peace,

Jonathan Ross - Funtensity - Episode 25

“Changing the game by making it one.” Jonathan Ross.

And with that, Jonathan Ross, Chief Funtensity Officer, explains the genesis of his fitness creation, Funtensity.

In Episode 25, the Two Fit Crazies have the pleasure of catching up with Jonathan Ross to hear his story on how and why he came up with his program that incorporates, among other things, a Rubber Chicken to help create a change in body, a change in mind and a change in the way that people feel about fitness!

Oh, and about that Rubber Chicken? Take it from Jonathan, “It’s irresistible. I’ve seen some hard-core fitness types standing there with their arms folded. But once they start throwing it around, they become a kid again.”

Listen in and find out why, “The 80% come for the fun. The 20% come for the intensity. Everyone stays for the Funtensity.”

Come “Lose yourself in play to find yourself in fitness." Just like Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone, Funtensity is Where It's At!
