Barre has been a hit on the scene for a while now and Karli is the first guest on our show to discuss it. We hear of Barre’s origins, what guided her towards it and what she saw as areas that she could take the philosophy to a different level with added movement.

In addition, Karli gives us the lowdown on who her BarreFlow program can benefit. The short answer? Everybody! Men. Women. Young. Old. Athletes. Pre and post-natal. You name it. With modifications and advancements for all, if you’ve got a body, you’ll find your flow with BarreFlow. We even hear Christine’s firsthand recount of her experience BarreFlow!

Christine and Brian - Shootin' the Breeze - Episode 31

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.

Much Love!!!!

TFC

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!!!

Mindy and Bruce Mylrea - One Day To Wellness - Episode 29

“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,

Marvin Towler - Trainer/Speaker/Instigator/Athlete - Episode 28

“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!

Episode 28! Enjoy!

Shane Barnard - Urban Kick - Episode 27

“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!

Brian Hanlon - Master Sculptor and Runner - Episode 26

“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,

Jonathan Ross - Funtensity - Episode 25

“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!
