Colin Dingelstad - Beyond Social Conditioning - Episode 86

Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone 

Episode 86 

Colin Dingelstad - Beyond Social Conditioning, Owner/Director - Swalmen, Netherlands   

“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!      

 

Enjoy!  Two Fit Crazies

Monica Rivera – Creator and Host of “YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!” Podcast

“Hi, I’m Monica and I podcast out of my closet.”

In Episode 75, the Two Fit Crazies had the pleasure of interviewing Monica Rivera, a self-proclaimed “MULTI-POTENTIALITE” (a fancy word for one with MANY interests) who also just happens to be a VERY successful podcast host.  Monica is the creator of, “YOU WANNA DO WHAT,” a show that she states is “about exploring interests-allowing ourselves to change, choose and try.” However, the Two Fit Crazies love a GREAT story, and Monica is no exception. As a first-generation Latina growing up in the Bronx, Monica shares her story of great adversity and soul searching which finally lead her to quit her unfulfilling corporate job to chase her passion to change lives. Hear the approach that Monica takes as she works her way up to becoming not only a Spartan competition, but an NPR Fellowship recipient as well! Like many of us, Monica Rivera was sick and tired of living someone else’s dream, so listen up as she shares some of her best practices to gain the momentum you need to change your life. Monica Rivera “walks the walk!” Listen closely because it may just change your life!

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!
