COVID doesn't care how much you bench
I interview one of our Ironstone coaches, Cooper, about his experience after contracting and recovering from COVID-19. Cooper was in isolation for 19 days and ran a high fever for 16. He has a few things to say...
Understanding the Ironstone Programming Tracks
Today Patrick hops on the Mic solo to talk about the different Ironstone Programming tracks, what goals they are best suited for, and how to think about each version.
COVID-19 & Self-Isolation: The Importance of Routines
Today I knock off a quick bit of information about daily routines and why they matter. Based on the worldwide response to COVID-19 many people are finding themselves in self-isolation. Lets build some quality routines before we destroy our positive habits and psychological well-being.
Ironstone 2020 CrossFit Open Wrap-Up & the way ahead
In this segment I sat down with two of the Ironstone gym members, Steph & Ollie, to reflect on the 2020 CrossFit Open and talk about what it mght mean for athletes who want to crush the open moving forward. During this conversation we touch on some personal reflections and an assessment of how Ironstone performed as a gym and at the tail end I address what this will mean for the programming moving forward.
****Apologies on the audio quality. I made a huge error in recording this episode by forgetting to switch to the external mic despite having it setup. This whole episode was recorded on the.... laptop mic. Steph & Ollie are at times much lower in volume than I. Not one to let good content go to waste, I've done what I can in editing to try and clean it up. ***
006 - Class isn't a competition: Stolen Audio from our Programming Town Hall
The audio from this episode was captured during a programming town hall we held at Ironstone. During the town hall I presented an overview of how our CrossFit programming works and how it relates to competitive CrossFit. The audio quality in this one isn't great because of the setup but it does the trick.
005 - What is Ironstone Balance?
In this episode I talk with Nikki and Mike about the Ironstone Balance Program and why we created it.
004: The Shortage of Professional Fitness Coaches
003: Understanding and Evaluating Risk
Although those words are undeniably true risk as it applies to fitness and injury rarely exists as an absolute.
In this episode Dafydd and Ollie join me to talk about risk, what it means, and how to understand it in the context of fitness. Knowing how to consider, evaluate, and balance risk with reward will help you maximize your fitness potential or that of the clients your train.
You'll also find out why the human experience shapes your understanding of risk and why you shouldn't carry an umbrella .
50 minutes of great dialogue which just barely scratches the surface on how fitness and medicine are intimately linked.
