The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast welcomes a true fitness professional and fitness legend by the name of Carol Scott. On today’s episode, Carol joins the Fit Crazies from her home in the Hamptons to shed some light on how she was able to climb the ranks in the fitness industry and found ECA, the East Coast Alliance, later known as ECA World Fitness Alliance. Carol also talks about how she created the East Coach Instructor Training School based on the growing need to train, certify, and place fitness professionals in positions where they could best serve others. In addition, Carol discusses the impact that athletics and strong mentors like former Olympian, WNBA star and now professional coach, Nancy Lieberman, had on developing her resilient mindset at an early age. Carol, who is not shy about being inspired by STAR TREK’s Captain Kirk and his ability to “boldly go where no one has gone before” has no plans on slowing down. Seeing fitness as “a conduit to spiritual awakenings, unity, diversity, acceptance, tolerance, citizenship,” Carol’s predictions for the future of the fitness industry and her plans to build the Fitness Instructor Guild are unparalleled.

Joining the show from Lindsborg, Kansas, where he current serves as the head track coach for Bethany College, Aaron is moving forward in life by going backwards. Aaron shares his story of what it was like to be a decorated runner in high school and college, only to be sidelined in his early twenties by what should have been a career-ending injury. Saying that Aaron made lemonade, or as I say, Lemon Martinis, out of lemons, is an understatement. After experimenting with backwards running on his home treadmill as a teenager, Aaron realized that this was “his calling” and HE WAS GOOD! In fact, Aaron reveals his secrets to “retro” running and what inspired him to set Guinness World Records and compete at 7 World Championships. You are bound to be impressed with Aaron not only for his incredible work ethic and ability to run 5-minute miles in reverse, but also for his desire to serve and inspire others as a collegiate coach. In fact, on Sunday, you can even find Aaron delivering sermons at his local church. Does this sound too good to be true? If, so, do yourself a favor and Google Aaron Yoder and watch him in action!
