Episode 332 - The Two Fit Crazies and LoyaltyThe Two Fit Crazies and LoyaltyThere are 3 types of people that come into your life. There are those who are like the leaves on trees that show up for a season, but when the weather (or things) gets tough, they fall off and disappear. Then, there are the types of people that are like branches. These people can be strong and stay around for longer than the “leaves,” but they may not last forever; They may not be able to hold you up if you need support, and they may even break. However, the third type of person is the “root.” This person may not always be visible to others or out in the spotlight, but they are always there. They support you, hold you up, and help to keep you from falling no matter what you may encounter. The roots are YOUR people! So why are you telling me this story? Today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast take a deep dive into the power of being a “root” in life, as well as the importance of surrounding yourself with strong “roots.” In addition, Christine and Brian cannot wait to tell you about all their latest travels, racing, and chaos! Who is breaking records? Who stole Christine’s medal from the C & O Canal 100-mile race? Where are these two fit crazies headed next! Listen up for more!Stay Fit!

Episode 314 - A Fit Crazie Recap: From KONA To CAROLIt has been a few weeks since the Fit Crazies released a show, but it is not without a good reason. It’s time to grab a hat and hold the heck on to it, because today’s show will explore the power of relationships and the importance of showing up both for yourself and others during the highs and lows of life. Listen up as Christine shares her experience racing and guiding in Kona, Hawaii at the IRONMAN World Championships. Then, stick around to hear what was really going on behind the scenes as Christine prepared to execute this race.

We hope you not only find some great takeaways from this show, but also take a moment to realize that life is short. So live, love, laugh, and stay crazie! Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!

Hear about the new processes now in place for major races to be held around the globe, but be sure you don’t forget your vaccination card or your negative Covid test results before picking up race bibs!

It relays 24/7 data about your glucose levels to an APP on your phone.” Carlee also discusses how this new technology developed by NutriSense may be the key to prevent or even delay the onset of various chronic conditions that are linked to the body’s inability to regulate glucose levels. And if that’s not enough, listen up athletes and runners! You are going to fall in love with this new wearable that can help to track glucose levels to determine your individualized plan for optimal hydration and nutrition for all your future adventures! Let’s use data over dogma and take control over our health!

Episode 231 - Christine Runs 100 Miles!
“To finish a 100 mile race, it’s not about physical toughness…it’s about mental toughness and
mindset.”
“There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not finish…the key was to find a wolfpack and stick together…we promised each other we would all finish.” - Christine
What must it be like to run 100 miles? In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies bring you the long-awaited recap of the C and O Canal 100 Mile Race! Sit back and take in all the craziness as Brian asks Christine how she got her hands on one of the most coveted prizes in the ultra-endurance world, a finishers belt buckle. Listen up as Christine dishes out the wild details of what goes into completing an ultra-endurance race. From gathering a loyal crew, eating a pound of bacon, climbing muddy cliffs in pitch black pouring rain, to spotting black bear cubs and dealing with hallucinations, you will want to run out and sign up for the next ultra-event near you. That may be a bit of a lie after you hear about the toenail casualties and the fact that over half of the athletes that showed up at the starting line never finished. Also, hear a huge shout out to Angel Bob, Dr. Mindy, Shannon, and Marley the Puppy for being the best crew in the world, and of course Mike Conti! Wait until you hear about how Christine’s husband stepped up in the middle of a cold rainy night to pace her in for the last 30 miles. That goodness for old school rap music!

In Episode 179, the Two Fit Crazies have an awesome conversation with an immensely energetic and passionate man by the name of Dean D. MacInnis. Joining the show from Oregon, Dean discusses how experiencing an “epiphany at the age of 35 that kicked him in the face” led to the creation of his own consulting business and a podcast. After a highly successful 12-year career as a corporate consultant and wellness executive, Dean shares his frustrations about the way corporations view wellness, as it is often overlooked and under-valued. Constantly feeling the effects of budgetary restraints that left him “like an iceberg...only able to deal with the symptoms of poor health and wellness at the surface level, not the causes,” Dean quit his job to begin a new life as an entrepreneur. Currently entrenched in his own wellness consulting business and podcast, Dean is determined to not only provide a service, but also offer an education for those looking to live a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life. From working with college students, to providing new rehabilitation techniques for stroke and Parkinson’s patients, Dean is giving people more than treatments, but “a feeling.” You are going to love this episode!

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner
“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”
“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)
This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!
Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.
Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

Episode 170 - Dr. Glenn Livingston Clinical Psychologist and Author of Never Binge Again.
“The voice of justification is my inner pig...I don’t eat pig slop and I don’t let animals tell me what to do.”
“Use the present moment to be healthy.” - Dr Glenn Livingston
In Episode 170, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Dr. Glenn Livingston, clinical psychologist, and author of Never Binge Again. Glenn openly discusses how his struggles with over exercising, or exercise bulimia, and binge eating led to his formerly obese state.

Episode 157 - Carol Ann – Chiseled Faith
Director of Education: Chiseled Faith Author: Chiseled Faith Fitness Expert, Author, Educator, Health & Fitness Entrepreneur
“I always felt that something was missing from the faith-based community.”
“Live a life of abundance...not be a slave to your body.” - Carol Ann
In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by the amazingly uplifting, beautiful, and intelligent woman by the name of Carol Ann, the mastermind behind Chiseled Faith. Carol Ann felt something was missing from the faith-based community with regards to exercise and caring for the body. As a result, she wrote, Chiseled Faith, a manuscript that lays the groundwork for educating religious communities to improve nutrition and exercise routines through teachings of the Bible. While the fitness industry talks about the idea of exercising the mind and body, Carol Ann is a pioneer in finding a way to “tap into spirituality” through Chiseled Faith. With staggering numbers of obese and unhealthy clergy and religious officials on the rise, Carol Ann knew it was time to find a way to “work in” fitness and nutrition into the religious community. Carol Ann also discusses how growing up as a Fundamental Baptist in the south provided her with the inspiration to create a faith-based health and wellness program that perfectly juxtaposes the principles of exercise science with faith. Her dedication to provide community motivation and inspiration through the words of the Bible are unparalleled as seen through her devotion to Chiseled Faith. This episode will surely inspire you!

Episode 109 - Sheera Goren, Co-Founder & CEO of ZYGO
“...be SWIMSPIRED!”
“...I wanted to create the Peleton of swimming!”
“...we are dealing with a passionate population.” -Sheera Goren
In Episode 109, the Two Fit Crazies are WOWED by Sheera Goren, the co-founder and CEO of Zygo, the first wireless headset for underwater streaming audio and live coaching. Whether you are a swimmer or non-swimmer, Zygo is going to revolutionize all water sports with its ability to transmit sound through a specific frequency that penetrates water. Swim coaches can instruct swimmers mid-stroke while surfers, stand-up paddle boarders, crew teams, can receive real-time coaching. Sheera reveals how her past experiences playing soccer at the University of Michigan, attending law school at UCLA, and working in the world of hospitality law all lead her to the creation of Zygo. As a non-swimmer who wanted to dabble in the world of triathlon, like Fit Crazie Christine, she was lost when it came to finding the right training groups to learn to swim. Sheera talked about how she created her own swim groups rather than attend intimidating Masters groups or take water aerobics classes with “older” populations. She further explains how she wanted to create “the Peleton for swimming” with Zygo and give people the ability to listen to podcasts and music as well as receive live and recorded coaching.

“...work together...work on yourself first”
“What can I do as a player to make my team better...my teammates better...make everything better?”
“Rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the country.”
Rugby New Jersey - Mission Statement: The goals of Rugby New Jersey are to promote, develop, support and increase the number of youth and High School rugby players in the State of New Jersey via a professionally run centralized administration structure.
In Episode 108, the Two Fit Crazies have a fantastic conversation with KJ Fuery and Terry Matthews, two amazingly passionate advocates for the sport of Rugby! Under the auspices of USA RUGBY, they are spearheading RUGBY New Jersey youth programs across the state. As the fastest growing team sport in the country, Rugby is not the rough, contact sport that is only for extreme athletes that people have been misled to believe. Terry and KJ talk about the ethos of Rugby and the awesome benefits that youth Rugby programs bring to not only kids, but also their parents. KJ and Terry discuss the emphasis that Rugby places on player accountability, the commitment that is expected both on and off the field, and the responsibility to values and character above all else. Did you know that all youth Rugby leagues, whether flag or contact, consist of a post-game meal provided by the home team so that players, parents, and coaches from both teams learn and practice respect for one another? KJ and Terry are out to make a difference in the lives of children across the state of New Jersey and beyond through the sport of Rugby! Reach out to them if you are interested in bringing Rugby to your community!

Episode 106 - Kindra Hall - Professional Storyteller/Keynote Speaker/Mother & Wife/Author: Stories That Stick (Pre-Order your book at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Indie Book, etc.…)
“I didn’t recognize storytelling as a talent; it was something I just did.” “I have always kind of been the “Gonzo.” What am I?” “...all these little things...moments in my life have value...significance… I can do this! -Kindra Hall
In Episode 106, The Two Fit Crazies are captivated by the amazingly talented Kindra Hall. After Christine met Kindra and listened to her deliver an extremely poignant and inspirational keynote address to thousands of fitness professionals at the Orangetheory Fitness Summit in early 2019, she knew that Kindra was a diamond in the rough! Kindra, who is a professional storyteller, keynote speaker, author, mother, and wife, first made her storytelling debut in 5th grade when she began recounting the story of The Giant’s Big Toe in front of her fellow elementary school students. Kindra then reveals her own “story” about how storytelling leads her to take part in the National Storytelling Festival in Tennessee, try out for the Concordia University, Wisconsin talent show, begin keynote speaking, and eventually write Stories That Stick! Kindra also discusses the process and the purpose of storytelling and how it can play an intricate part in successfully building, branding, and marketing any business or foster more meaningful relationships. Kindra admits that, like others, her road to success has been paved with risk, faith and “straight-up hustle,” but by keeping an “audience forward” mindset, delivering a clear message, and accepting that you must embrace trial and error, you will achieve your goals. Get your paper and pencils ready and let’s “flex your empathy muscles!” What is your story?

Episode 105 Elian Haan - Wellness Coach/Yoga, Tai Chi, Mediation Program Director/Fitness Presenter
“... I bring the mind, body, and spirit to make people understand that they don’t need to take something, but do something.” -Elian Haan
In Episode 105, the Two Fit Crazies welcomed a beautiful soul by the name of Elian Haan. Joining the show from Dallas, Texas, although originally from the Netherlands, Elian shares her amazing story of how her love for dance, movement, and fitness lead her to overcome some of the most difficult moments in her life. After attending a dance academy in Amsterdam as a child and later earning a degree in Art/Theatre History from the University of Amsterdam, Elian shares how her love for movement led her to seek a career in dance. Elian talks about the impact that fitness icons such as Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons inspired her to become certified to teach fitness, but as Elian delves into her own journey of self-discovery, she discusses how losing both of her parents and moving to the U.S. for an short-lived marriage, lead her to “hit rock bottom.” Surprisingly, there was a time when all that Elian owned was what she carried in her backpack and the “things” she took to mask her pain. Elian reveals how her love for fitness saved her life and inspired her to create Better Body Basics, her fitness studio, outside of Dallas, Texas. In addition, Elian now serves as a teacher at the Addiction Campus of America where she infuses mindful and movement practices to patients who are fighting to overcome addiction. The former SCW Fitness Presenter of the Year, we welcome Elian Haan to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast. Be ready to be inspired!

New York Times Best-Selling Author, Living With a Seal & Living With Monks
Cofounder, Marquis Jets & Former Partner, Zico Coconut Water
Owner, NBA Atlanta Hawks
“Get your feet in the door and then figure it out! Ride the momentum!”
“Welcome the unknown and learn from it!” -Jesse Itzler
Happy 100th Episode/Birthday/Anniversary! We f’ing made it!
In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies go BIG as they welcome the AMAZING Jesse Itzler! Jesse joins the best “party” in the world to shed some light on how to build your “life’s resume.” Through Jesse’s ability to think BACKWARDS, he then was able to “write the end of the movie...but then you just have to write the script.” This seemed to work for Jesse Itzler since he first made a name for himself as a rapper on MTV in the 1990’s. Since then, Jesse went on to write the theme song for the New York Knicks, found Marquis Jets, own Zico Coconut Water, and even own the Atlanta Hawks. Although Jesse’s “life resume” is super impressive, Jesse is someone who “walks the walk.” He is a true giver and believes in the power of relationships, but he also believes that, at the end of the day, we all want the same thing: “we want to feel good!”
In this episode, Jesse shares his insight on the importance of fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness as it relates to happiness and success. Even after living with David Goggins for a month and then living with monks, Jesse continues to crave new experiences. He has created events, or “Experiences,” for others to quit the mundane and invest in themselves. Climb mountains, camp in the wilderness, and BUILD THAT LIFE RESUME!

Episode 99 - Matthew Long - ATHLETE-SURVIVOR- SPEAKER
Former NYC Firefighter
The Long Run, Author
Motivational Speaker, WME Speakers
Orangetheory Fitness Danbury, CT Franchisee
ATHLETE-SURVIVOR- SPEAKER
“Why did it happen...and why did I live?”
“...Turn your burners on and fire-up the human spirit!”
-Matt Long
In Episode 99, the Two Fit Crazies are left speechless from the most amazingly inspirational story of one man’s battle for survival after being hit by a 40-ton bus on the streets of New York City at 5:30AM on December 22nd, 2005. With a 1% chance for survival even after receiving over 68 units of blood, Matt Long was not about to give up. As a NYC firefighter, triathlete, marathoner, and IRONMAN at the time of the accident, Matt discusses how his elite fitness level “literally” saved his life. Although Matt champions an “I WILL” attitude, he also shares what it was like to wish his mother had prayed for him to die instead of having to endure the slow and painful process of rehabilitating a body that was practically sliced in two. Unbelievably, Matt not only survived the day he and his bicycle were crushed beneath the 10” space between a charter bus and the asphalt, but also recalls the mental journey to recovery! After more than 40 operations and years of rehabilitation, Matt has since returned to marathons, IRONMANS, cycling, and even holds 8 world records for the indoor rower! Matt also discuss his inspirational book, The Long Run, as well as his love for public speaking engagements and why he decided to be a franchisee for Orangetheory Fitness. Prepare to be inspired!

Episode 96 – Roberta Groner – World Class Runner – Full Time Nurse – Mother of 3
In Episode 96 the Fit Crazies have the honor of rapping with the ridiculously fast and remarkably humble Super Mom, Roberta Groner, age 41, of Randolph, NJ. Literally, just 2 hours off the plane home, Roberta gives us the low down on her phenomenal, news making 2:29:06, 5th place performance against a world class field at the Rotterdam Marathon.
To put it simply, Roberta has a story for the ages. After competitive high school and, albeit shortened, collegiate careers, running went away. Roberta spent the next decade building her career in nursing and starting a family. But a flame was rekindled after joining some office cohorts and running the Pittsburg Half Marathon just 10 years ago. This led to a marathon in Chicago and an impressive 3-hour 12-minute (3:12) debut. But she was just getting started, a Sub 3 hour run in her second marathon was followed by races in the 2:40’s and then a true burst onto the scene with her 2:37 victory at the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon in 2016. Just Flying!!!!
All of this, along with a 2:30:38, 3rd place finish at the California International Marathon in 2017 has stamped Roberta’s place among the nation’s and world’s elites.
In fact, we’d bet that if the 41-year-old, full time nurse, divorced mother of three had rubbed a lamp and was granted running wishes, Roberta probably would have sold herself short in what she wished for.
What’s it like to run a 2:29 and an IAAF/Olympic Standard?
At 41 years of age, while still working full time and a divorced mother of three, how does she fit it all in?
What are the differences in training blocks as she continues to grow as a runner?
What is it like working with a new coach in Steve Magness?
Do her boys know how cool their mom is?
What are her nutrition and recovery routines like?
What is her advice for and/or secret to success?
And most importantly; What’s Next????
Whatever your role in athletics or fitness or life, Roberta’s story is not to be missed!
Get Your Inspiration Here, In Episode 96!
Let’s Roll!

Episode 95- Dr. Sebastian Gonzales DC, CCSP, CSCS, RMSK Performance Sportscare/Podcast Host/Author
“...fitness is the stepping stone toward the other result.” “...physical therapy...the end goal is to be an athlete again, not just rehab…” -Dr. Sebastian Gonzales
In Episode 95 of Two Fit Crazies & a Microphone podcast, we had a blast talking with Dr. Sebastian Gonzales of Huntington Beach, California. Dr. Gonzales, an accomplished Sports Chiropractor and Human Movement Specialist, shares how his experiences rehabilitating childhood injuries lead him to re-evaluate the goals of physical therapy. Dr. Gonzales believes that we first need to examine why we believe we are injured or why we believe we “can’t” do something. Only then, we can begin to “unravel the yarn” and work towards standing and lasting results. Dr. Gonzales also offers a unique perspective on the state of therapy and the way in which you should view rehabilitating injuries. Dr. Gonzales also gives out some awesome tips from his latest book, I Will Beat Back Pain as well as awesome advice from his podcast, RESTORING HUMAN MOVEMENT!

Chandler, now compelled to educate the masses, created his 5 Pillars of health to help his largely female-based clientele take action and take control of their lives. Through Chandler’s 8-week courses that focus on cognitive behavior therapy and an in-depth approach to disrupt unhealthy behaviors, he is making huge waves in the health and fitness industry!

“Just do something! Try something simple...celebrate it!” -Colin Dingelstad
In Episode 86, the Two Fit Crazies took a trip to the Netherlands! We wish! Instead, we had a great interview via ZOOM with an amazing transformational coach by the name of Colin Dingelstad. Colin joined us live from Swalmen in the Netherlands to share his story and perspective about the current state of health and fitness. Colin, a very successful transformational coach and owner of Beyond Social Conditioning, first became interested in learning about successful habits and improving “the self” while reading self-help books as a teenager. Although his goal at the time was to score more dates, his passion for improving the quality of life for himself and others was long-lasting. In this episode, Colin revealed his own “secrets to success” by going “beyond social conditioning” with each of his clients. He asks them to reflect deeply about their life through analyzing their movement, health, mindset, and more. While Colin speaks about the current state of fitness and health in the Netherlands and the U.K., his messages about the importance of laughing, smiling, and happiness, are universal!

As you’ll hear in Episode 82, the Two Fit Crazies have differing opinions on Valentine’s Day. And so, we did one of our Pop-Up podcasts to get it off our chests. Unfortunately, this rare disagreement between the dynamic duo has left the show in an awkward limbo of sorts. So, they want to hear from you. Valentine’s Day – Yay or Nay?
Responses may (or may not – do you actually think we know what we are doing?) be heard on our airwaves in a future Pop-Up show. Let your Voices Be Heard! Come at us brothers and sisters!
Yay or Nay!!!!!
With Love (Everyday),

Episode 81 – Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running
“Never limit where running can take you.” Bart Yasso
In Episode 81, the Two Fit Crazies had the honor of speaking with the great Bart Yasso. Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Running”, Bart goes deep into his journey and life in running. Recently retired after 21 years at Runner’s World where he held the title – Chief Running Officer, Bart takes us from his first run in “cutoff jeans and a Budweiser t-shirt” to the “world’s toughest footrace” through Death Valley to a 5k in a nudist colony. And an interview with Bart would never be complete without getting the lowdown on the famous workout created by and named for him – the Yasso 800s, stating that “There isn’t a day that someone doesn’t mention Yasso 800’s.”
Bart is an incredibly genuine person with a passion for running and life. It felt like we were old friends catching up after some time apart. An inspiration to all that cross his path, we hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
Yours in Fitness (and running),
Brian and Christine – The Two Fit Crazies

Tricia Silverman Wellness – Owner, Wellness Coach, Fitness Instructor, Employee Wellness
Northeastern University: Professor, Published Author
“If it grows in the ground, Falls from the tree, Swims in the sea…” -Tricia Silverman (nutrition advice learned from her grandfather)
In Episode 79, the Two Fit Crazies attempt to uncover “THE SECRET” to optimal health and longevity with Tricia Silverman, a nationally recognized health and wellness presenter and educator. Tricia recalls nutrition advice from her grandfather about the importance of eating “REAL FOOD” from the ground, not from a lab. Everything from the “actual” ingredients in your food, to her latest lecture, Food Deconstructed, is sure make you question the ingredients in your next meal. For example, what the heck is Xanthan Gum? Why are certain ingredients in our foods illegal in other countries? How do I know what foods are “healthy?” Tricia Silverman discusses the importance of educating oneself on ALL the current research such as the global longevity factors, a personal favorite of the Two Fit Crazies. We are talking “BLUE ZONES!” These are the areas on the globe with the most Centenarians, or people living to 100 or greater. The research speaks for itself! These people eat a mostly plant-based diet, engage in an active lifestyle, and have a positive mindset. The Two Fit Crazies had a blast with Tricia Silverman! Let’s get back to basics when it comes to nutrition! This episode may just change, or save, your life!

Peace on Earth Goodwill Towards Men (Except for the Self-Proclaimed Gurus) - The TFCs Navigate the Holidays
“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”
-John Wooden
In Episode 70, the Two Fit Crazies will help you face the Bermuda Triangle of Holidays. This is what Brian refers to as the time between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. Stress levels are high, diets suffer, workouts are set aside, money is tight, sleep is at a minimum, and there is NEVER enough time in the day to get everything done. The holidays are supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, right?
On top of that, everywhere you look there are self-proclaimed “gurus” and “experts” on television, social media, and more that make unsubstantiated promises that have all the answers, so you can live YOUR BEST LIFE. They seem to have “it” all figured out. Do this. Eat and drink that. Buy this. In actuality, no one has it all figured out….and that’s okay! Christine and Brian offer their advice on how to identify and avoid being duped by false claims and how to embrace things, people, and ideas in life that brings you joy! There is not ONE thing in life that will solve all of your problems. Take a little something from everyone out there, and if you don’t believe us, go read some quotes from John Wooden!
Peace, Love, and Joy…to almost everyone!

On Episode 58 of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine recap an awesome Episode 57 with the great fellas from Pure Focus Sports Club. What a great time that Episode was. Old school gym owners discussing the ins and out of power lifting and body building! It’s a classic!
From there they lead in to their topic du jour. “What’s Holding You Back?” It’s an interesting topic in that it is something that we hear often and know all too well.
I/You/We know that I/you/we should be doing something differently, but just don’t always do that thing that I/you/we know that we should be doing. Something is holding you back from doing what must be done.
So, What Is It? What Is Holding You Back?
The answer is yours. It’s personal. If we were playing Family Feud, the most common answer on the board would Fear. Fear runs deep and wears many hats. Fear can be associated with danger. Fear is anxiety. Fear is uncertainty. Fear is societal pressures or judgement. Fear can be monetary. For all to many, fear is most often connected to failure. Fear of Failure is a gigantic deterrent to many. All of this is enough for many to do the worst thing, which is nothing.
Making Changes in life, career, relationships, diet, activity, lifestyle, performance, etc. is rarely done on a whim. Conclusions are made long before action is taken. We know what needs to be done. In Episode 58, the Two Fit Crazies ask you to dig deep any proclaim that “thing” that is getting in the way of you and your next stage of living your best life. Again, the answers are yours. But know that there is gold on the other side of doing what you know is best.
So, what is it? What is holding you back?
Let Us Know! We Got You Back
With Love!

The TFCs called for an emergency podcasting session after Christine's unusual Boston Marathon experience. To say that the weather was bad, would be an understatement. It was awful and lead to an uncustomary performance for Christine; the dreaded "DNF".
Listen in as Christine and Brian hash out the details and hear the story rom an absolutely crazy day!
Let the Healing Begin!!!!
Much Love,

Episode 31 – Brian and Christine – Shootin’ the Breeze
It’s been a while since Brian and Christine have done an episode without a guest on the line or in studio. In Episode 31, they take the time to catch up on all things happening in their fitness world. From the Spring running season, to Christine’s, now annual, showdown with the Boston Marathon, to her Ironman pursuits, to the locally run New Jersey Marathon to Bob freakin Ross. After 30 Episodes, the TFC’s circle the wagons and share their news.
Most notably, we receive a thorough update from Christine on her recent flare-ups of Rheumatoid Arthritis, her efforts to combat them using holistic approaches, the ensuing medicinal intervention and how this has her feeling, physically and mentally, leading up to these big events. As usual, she has an amazing will and outlook with so much on her plate.
“If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention.”
"If You Wanna Be Somebody" As sung by “Get Pulsed” creator Alana Sanders on Episode 30!
Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast
Episode 30 with Guest – Alana Sanders – Creator of “Get Pulsed”/Social Media Expert/Fitness Presenter
In Episode 30, the Two Fit Crazies welcome Alana Sanders; creator of the nationally accredited dance fitness program Get Pulsed and Social Media expert. And yes, that’s right, we got her to sing for us. She is, after all, known as the “Singing Fitness Instructor”!
Alana gives us the lowdown on how she got her start in the fitness industry, her career as a college professor teaching marketing and the creation of Get Pulsed, an innovative dance fitness program that incorporates the use of weights into the dance routines to help tone while in a fun cardio setting. It’s a brand that she says “…will assist with your health and get you to where you need to be, but you’re going to have fun doing it!”
A teacher at heart, Alana has dedicated herself to helping and educating people in every aspect of the fitness industry. From teaching her program as an instructor, to Get Pulsed trainer certification, to teaching fitness professionals how to be successful through the all-important social medias, Alana is involved in many layers of the fitness industry. She, literally, wrote the first Social Media college textbook published by Pearson Education released in 2011 and continues to instruct at SCW Mania conventions throughout the country. Of course, the hosts took the opportunity to steal some social media advice! Thanks for sharing Alana!
And get this! In addition to being the creator of Get Pulsed and an expert on Social Media, Alana was also the winner of the 2016 SCW Fitness Idol competition and is up for IDEA Fitness Presenter of the Year! Yes folks, She’s a Rock Star!!!
The fitness industry is lucky to have a gem like Alana and we were so glad to have her on the #Podcast. Please listen as Christine and Brian discuss all of this and more with the great, Alana Sanders!

“I would like to see it (the fitness industry) flipped upside down to where evidence-based nutrition is the primary tool when you walk in the door and that it’s the theme you see when you come to a fitness conference…” Bruce Mylrea – One Day To Wellness
In Episode 29 The Two Fit Crazies catch up with Mindy and Bruce Mylrea to discuss their freewheeling, veggie eating, mission of brining “science and evidence-based information” on the benefits of Whole Food Plant Based nutrition to the masses through their non-profit wellness movement, One Day To Wellness.
A pillar of the fitness industry for many year, Mindy has won almost every major award the industry has to offer including IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, PFP Trainer of the Year, and International Presenter of the Year. She has starred in over 400 fitness videos and created the ever-popular Gliding Disks along with cutting edge education for the fitness industry including the award winning Tabata Bootcamp program.
Bruce joined Mindy in the fitness world in 2005. In 2011, to treat Bruce’s high cholesterol numbers, both Bruce and Mindy transitioned to a whole food, plant-based diet #wfpb. This was a pivotal point in both Bruce’s and Mindy’s life. A game changer for sure. Bruce successfully lowered his total cholesterol by over 100 points and lost over 25 pounds. However, just one year later, Bruce was blindsided by being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Armed with his WFPB diet and with various treatments under his belt, Bruce is reporting that he’s feeling better than ever. Likewise, Mindy sounds more than happy with everything that #plantstrong Bruce brings to the party! Ha-ha! These two are a lot of fun!
Together, they saw a void in the fitness industry in the lack of attention given to nutrition and wellness. And so, together, they’ve set out to educate the country (and Canada) with One Day To Wellness.
So how do you spread the mission? How do you share your passion? Fly around the country week after week? Nope! Drop into a city for the weekend? No Way!!! Not Mindy and Bruce! They opted for the road less traveled. They’ve taken to the highways and byways of America in an R.V. that they’ve wrapped with fruits and veggies and coined the “Wellness Wagon”. In fact, for the interview, the Mylrea’s called in from their R.V. parked in Jackson, MS! So Cool!
Hear how their story unfolds and listen to what they have planned for their future as they travel the country, two peas in a pod, preaching Whole Food, Plant Based health and wellness.
Enjoy,

“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!

“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!

“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,

“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!
