Better Than Yesterday...‪.‬ Starke Strength

Today we sit down with Dave Lipchen an elite level triathlete and coach who has competed globally in triathlon.



One of my favourite memories of Dave is walking through the transition at the Riding Mountain Triathlon over ten years ago 45 minutes before the race where Dave was holding two coffees and two cinnamon buns. I said "thanks for the coffee and bun" and Dave replied with "Are you crazy these are fro me. These athletes walking around here sucking on gel's and gummy's are going to run out of fuel before the race starts...



Dave has had some amazing experiences in the sport of Triathlon as an athlete and a coach and runs the Windburn Race Team here in Manitoba. Dave has also been the director of the Canada day run in east St Paul the past several years along with being the director of the Riding Mountain Triathlon in Clear Lake (amazing event).



Dave started training with his wife and two son's at Starke when he realized that his boys were getting stronger and were able to start throwing him around now. To Dave's surprise, not only was he getting stronger but his run times were getting faster with the additional strength and conditioning in our group classes.



We hope you enjoy this episode and that it makes you a little bit better than yesterday!

Today we have long time member and Starke original gangster Gail Davoren on the podcast.

Gail has been crushing workouts here for a while but some of the most notable changes have been taking place after getting some sleep and nutritional habits dialled in after working with Starke Nutrition coach Jaz. Not only has it helped her to meet some health and fitness goals but her whole family is reaping the benefits from it and the transformations have been helping in and outside of the gym.

We hope you enjoy this episode and find some take aways that will help you and your families become Better Than Yesterday! 

It's a new year and some are still looking to find the right step to take with their health and nutrition habits.

We've never been about cutting out a bunch of things from your diets or being extremely restrictive. Year after year we've seen that method work only to fail when people couldn't maintain the restriction. Most of the time a highly restricted diet isn't sustainable and they end up gaining the weight back and more.

An intake meeting with with weigh-in, measurements, and your challenge handbook.

In addition, we will be providing weekly in person meetings at 6:45pm in our mezzanine to review our habits and talk about the four pillars of health that will give you a more well rounded approach to this challenge.

A couple weeks ago I had a fall from 18' and landed on my heel and wrist. I was very fortunate to only have some bruising and didn't break anything or worse.

With some moderate compression and consistent movement and exercise, I've been able to see progress and recovery every day and it's been humbling to work through limitations and realize that all the work we do in the gym prepares us not only for life outside of the gym but to maintain functionality during injury and in times of need.

I saw a version of the video below 10 years ago and loved it and have been making use of the theory ever since. Two years ago the video was expanded and redone. It's a great watch and I think everyone should see it.

Stay strong and stay safe out there.

We finally made it! This podcast has been months in the making. Corinne and I have been talking about RCP in our personal training sessions for months and we finally made a date (several times) and got mic'd up.

Corinne drops a ton of knowledge bombs about micronutrients and how they can affect processes within the body, how you can get tested for deficiencies and how to balance out levels when things are out of whack.

For more information on RCP check out the links below or follow @heartfeltholistic on Instagram

Recipe for the Adrenal Cocktail: 1/4 C fresh orange juice, 1/4tsp cream of tartar, 1/4tsp real salt (let us know what you think)

Today was a little impromptu podcast with Mel Roer (check out episode #75 with her. It's a gooder).

We decided to record this episode a few minutes after we started talking as we know people are struggling with routine, balance and finding ways to get things moving in the right direction especially with the holidays coming up.

We hope you enjoy this episode and that it makes you "Better Than Yesterday"
