In this episode we bounce all over the place with Nick. We talk about the importance of sticking to a routine, how joining groups can be intimidating and most importantly, how to use essential oils to not only make your house smell incredible but to maximize whatever you are trying to accomplish.

In this episode we talk to Kelly about life on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. We discuss the importance of staying physical but without the need for rigid structure. The mental and emotional stress in her profession has forced her to really get in touch with that stress and allow space to recover. Her training has become more organic, less rigid and the harder sessions are lining up more with her natural energy than they are with a rigid program- perhaps a lesson for all of us!

In this episode we discuss the challenge of not having a swimming pool in close proximity for training. Lindsay spends most of her time in open water and discusses some of the things she does in order to maximize her time there. Most of us experience some kind of limitation with our training environment, the important thing is how we adapt and take advantage of what we do have.

In Episode 3 we talk to Sommer Cunningham about some of the challenges during the COVID-19 crisis and how creating non-negotiable time space for exercise can not only help you physically but also benefit your mental state significantly. We discuss how creating physical spaces in your home can help establish intent. Finally, start lines often define the why behind training but without them we are presented with an opportunity for a deeper connection to physical activity.

In this episode we chat with PR and sport enthusiast Chris Brumwell about dealing with nagging injuries and how rest is often the best medicine. We also tackle swim anxiety and discuss some strategies to overcome this very common challenge.
