Carol Ann – Chiseled Faith - Episode 157

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 112 Laurie Jimenez - Relentless Minds Podcast, Host / Conquer Your Day Program, Creator

“...embrace where you came from…” “...ignore the outside noise and be aware of when you are conforming to social norms.” “I take full responsibility of EVERYTHING in my life.” -Laurie Jimenez

In Episode 112, the Two Fit Crazies welcome the “relentless mind” of Laurie Jimenez! Laurie joins the Fit Crazies from Alexandria, Virginia where she is currently working as a dental hygienist by day, but an advocate for EVERYONE who wishes to own their own story and create the life they deserve. Laurie talks about how her experience breaking free from a “cult-like” religion and then excommunicated by her church, family and friends lead to her to a period of darkness; a period that she needed to experience in order to wake-up and rewire her brain. Laurie’s story is both heart wrenching and miraculous, and in this episode, she reveals how she draws from her tumultuous past to inspire others to be more “relentless” through her own podcast, Relentless Minds. (Fit Crazy Christine even makes an appearance on one episode!) Laurie also reveals her new program, “Conquer the Day,” intended to provide people with a plan that will hold them accountable for their mind, body, and soul. Laurie Jimenez is RELENTLESS!

Roberta Groner - World Class Runner/Full Time Nurse/Mother of Three - Episode 96

Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast

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???? #KFG

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!
