Episode 121: NEVER Stop

It's been a long time since we lasted chatted. Bro and Jenna catch up on what's been happening in life and of course throw a few digs in here and there. We also chat about "nutrition influencers" and the credibility that people give just because the amount of followers they have.  We appreciate each and every one of you and hope you guys have a great holiday!

We’ve all been there. We’ve all be faced with the decision to get something done or put it off until tomorrow.   We have all failed!   Coming off of a shutdown and on the backend of a pandemic, we have been crushed by the lack of motivation!   We are all susceptible, but that doesn’t mean we should continue to allow it to ruin our daily lives!

Our bodies are unbelievable machines that are often limited by our mind. Rarely do we tap into our bodies full ability and it’s all because of our brain. Today we go off script and talk about our biggest hurdle in life, US! From making excuses to not giving ourselves enough credit and basing our actions on being rewarded, this episode goes deep into the abyss.

We spend hours pushing our bodies to the limits, yet we spend so little time taking care of them. From counting macros, getting our fluids, eating whole foods, and sleep, these are all important, but so is maintaining our bodies.  Like nutrition, you don’t know what you don’t know, and we’re finding out that people just haven’t been given the tools to use.  We talk about flexibility, mobility, and stability. We dig into why each one is important, yet they are intertwined as a whole. 

How much do you really know about sleep? Of course we know we are suppose to get our 8 hours, but do you know why? There is a lot that goes into something that should be so easy to accomplish, but yet Americans fail miserably each and every day. We discuss sleep studies, why getting 8-9 hours of sleep is so important and explain the DNA differences between night owls and those crazy early morning people.

There has been a lot that's unraveling in the Crossfit world. Big changes including new CEO, Eric Roza! We did a poll on our Instagram asking a couple of different questions: Is crossfit dead? Has CrossFit changed or have people doing CF changed? We go over these answers and share our opinions on them. It seems we are headed in a positive new direction!

Bro and Jenna go into detail about the latest news in the Crossfit world including Andy Stumpf's podcast (Cleared Hot Podcast) that releases a whole new problem with the CEO of Crossfit. Opinions are shared on the athletes that have opted out of the games and the gyms that have deaffiliated and of course you get some classic Bro talking shit to Jenna  

Most, if not all of you, know that there is a lot going on in the Crossfit community in regards to Greg Glassman's tweet and email. We share our opinion on the emails, tweet, and BLM movement. This is a very sensitive subject and is probably the most anticipated podcast we have put out. These are OUR feelings and we don't claim to be right or wrong. We are always here to listen to your opinions and viewpoints. Educating each other is important! At the end of the day, just love your neighbor! 

This weeks episode we chat about the good and bad emotions that tie into crossfit. Digging into the emotional side can either push us or destroy us. Whether you are working out for GPP purposes or are a competitive athlete, it's all relevant!

Inspiration comes from many things in life and often happens when we least expect it. Inspiring others also happens daily and like inspiration, it happens to people you’d never expect. We also talk about what training should look like once you get back to the gym this week and ensure that you don’t bite off too much because you’re excited. We end with the price you pay being a leader and a winner. They both sound amazing until you realize what comes with it.
