CrossFit YOW: Recent Episodes

We're Back! Was lucky enough to get owner of CF Oshawa and 10 year affiliate owner Kevin Bowles on the Podcast and just let it fly. What a wealth of knowledge and experience. This podcast could have been 3 hours long I feel and was fortunate to steal him for 60 minutes plus. Kevin's audio came in awesome but mine was touch and go with this being our first Zoom podcast so please bear with me ;) Enjoy!
Went a little long on this one but some good stories were told. Steve Smaridge joins me and Mike on the Podcast this week to talk about mindset and some challenges that go along with having a sustainable lifestyle trending upwards.
On this episode, Mike and Steve discuss goals and perhaps more importantly, the habits that are the base to achieving a goal. We get a little all over the map with this one - but some good insight on long term habit creating. Enjoy.
On this episode, we talk about all things nutrition with Coach Emma. Some basic info on Macros, Keto, IMF, Paleo and Zone are discussed - why each could or not work for you. Some tips and tricks for good nutrition lifestyle changes and how discipline leads to long term goal achievement. Went over time but it's worth it ;)
