“I hate exercise!” - Mike Kelly

Listen closely as Mike reveals his love for Jack LaLanne and then delves into why he believes everyone dislikes exercise. Mike is fascinated with what WE can do to overcome this far-reaching problem that is wreaking havoc on a rising number of people around-the-globe.

After decades of creating education and instructing fitness professionals and clients alike, Mike has found that when “…you start to lose functionality…you need to address it right away.” In his current and upcoming courses and seminars, Mike not only unloads the power of exercise, but also the psychology of why people exercise and how we can overcome any fears that may be holding us back from achieving optimal health and wellness.

Episode 237 - Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who specializes in bariatric nutrition therapy and weight loss. She graduated from Western Illinois University and has worked as a nutritionist at MultiCare Health Systems and Veterans Affairs.

“I’m focused on data over dogma!”

“…80% of chronic conditions can be prevented or delayed…”

-Carlee Hayes

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine have an awesome conversation with Carlee Hayes. Joining the show from Washington state, Carlee discusses how her frustration with the reactive world of nutrition and medicine lead her to join forces with a start-up tech company called NutriSense. Carlee, who currently serves as the company’s lead registered dietitian nutritionist, delves into the fascinating new world of wearables that she believes are key to improving metabolic health. “Continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, is a 14-day patch that attaches to the back of your arm. It relays 24/7 data about your glucose levels to an APP on your phone.”  Carlee also discusses how this new technology developed by NutriSense may be the key to prevent or even delay the onset of various chronic conditions that are linked to the body’s inability to regulate glucose levels. And if that’s not enough, listen up athletes and runners!  You are going to fall in love with this new wearable that can help to track glucose levels to determine your individualized plan for optimal hydration and nutrition for all your future adventures! Let’s use data over dogma and take control over our health!

Episode 231 - Christine Runs 100 Miles!

“To finish a 100 mile race, it’s not about physical toughness…it’s about mental toughness and

mindset.”

“There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not finish…the key was to find a wolfpack and stick together…we promised each other we would all finish.” - Christine

What must it be like to run 100 miles? In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies bring you the long-awaited recap of the C and O Canal 100 Mile Race! Sit back and take in all the craziness as Brian asks Christine how she got her hands on one of the most coveted prizes in the ultra-endurance world, a finishers belt buckle. Listen up as Christine dishes out the wild details of what goes into completing an ultra-endurance race. From gathering a loyal crew, eating a pound of bacon, climbing muddy cliffs in pitch black pouring rain, to spotting black bear cubs and dealing with hallucinations, you will want to run out and sign up for the next ultra-event near you. That may be a bit of a lie after you hear about the toenail casualties and the fact that over half of the athletes that showed up at the starting line never finished. Also, hear a huge shout out to Angel Bob, Dr. Mindy, Shannon, and Marley the Puppy for being the best crew in the world, and of course Mike Conti! Wait until you hear about how Christine’s husband stepped up in the middle of a cold rainy night to pace her in for the last 30 miles. That goodness for old school rap music!

If you forgot why this podcast is called the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone, prepare to be reminded! Now go out and do something fit crazie!

From the Venetian to Equinox Sports Clubs, Hank recalls how a simple handshake, a welcoming remark, remembering someone’s favorite sports team, or what they prefer in their coffee can make the difference between a fleeting client and a life-long membership. In the last decade, Hank continued to educate himself about the power of growing a business with a focus on stellar customer experience alongside fitness legends such as Rick Mayo, Todd Durkin, Allan Cosgrove, Mike Boyle and more. In 2013, Hank founded and opened the doors to H4 Training, a small group training facility just west of Chicago. In a few short years, Hank’s success led to the opening of his second location in 2017, and a third location is in the works.

“The pandemic has allowed us more freedom and opportunities for collaboration.” -Elizabeth Lenart

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Two Fit Crazies and Microphone Podcast where Brian and Christine are hosting this amazing show from separate locations. While the two crazies are temporarily quarantined from one another, it will not stop them from conducting an amazing interview with a super talented, smart, and beautiful international fitness educator by the name of Elizabeth Lenart. Joining the show from Massachusetts, Elizabeth talks about what “fires her up” and how she was able to thrive in the fitness industry despite a world-wide pandemic. Listen carefully as Elizabeth reveals how she was able to overcome a massive spinal fusion at the age of 13 that left her with two metal rods in her spine. What would appear to be an extreme obstacle for so many, Elizabeth realized that this was a great experience that would help ignite her passion for movement and turn it into a successful career. With a degree in guidance and counselling, along with decades of experience educating, writing programs, presenting, and speaking at fitness conferences around-the-globe, Elizabeth Lenart is changing lives with her messages of inclusivity and body positivity. If you have yet to experience this rock star instructor live via ZOOM or in person, you are missing out!
