Welcome back to Around the Whiteboard, this week Em and I sit down to discuss the fundamentals of routine. Have you ever been in a place where you feel like the day just flew by leaving you behind? We discuss ways to facilitate this challenging concept in a world of urgency in order to take back direction and purpose in our lives.

Welcome back to Around the whiteboard, this week Kevin and I discuss the world of Nutrition. This is not your average nutrition talk. We decided to break this topic up into two parts to better understand the history before diving into the principles of nutrition. Every diet, fad and ‘next best thing’ consists of these principles and we break down the science behind the food that fuels our bodies.

Have you ever wondered why a Baboon has a red ass?

This week Kevin and I are talking about sleep. There is so much fascinating research coming out on sleep because for the first time we are in an era where we have technology that can monitor the brain during sleep. Yet, still there is so much information we do not understand.

We reference a lot of this research from the book “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker. As well as Professors Sasha Handley and Bob Stickgold.

Now before we get into it, back to the burning question, why does a baboon have a red ass? It is actually caused by sleeping in the trees.

If you’re frequently getting injured, you’re likely doing too much but if you are not getting injured, you’re likely not doing enough. No one likes to be injured but it can expose you to limitations and be a signal for you to re-evaluate things like your warm ups, how to rest and recover or different imbalances within yourself. The worst thing you can do is nothing, we discuss how to approach your training and how to be efficient towards healing your injury.

Welcome back to Around the Whiteboard. This week we are talking about the Fitness Industry. There is so much information available at our fingertips these days and it is easy to fall into a fitness trend, CrossFit was like that too. At the end of the day people want to see results in their health and fitness and sometimes to ‘work hard’ is not always the best approach.

Kevin and I get lost in a conversation about culture. Culture is that feeling you get when you walk into the gym, and not the nerves of the workout but rather the gut feeling that the space evokes. No culture is perfect but you want to be excited, fired up and surrounded by like-minded people working towards a similar purpose.

We know exercise is good and I feel silly saying this because it is that obvious. However, when it comes to intensity this can mean a lot of different things to people. This week Kev and I compared high and low intensity. We discuss what is happening at these different levels and what a balanced program would look like.
