Health Oddity Podcast Peter Lant

This week Peter & James sit down to ‘unpack’ a very full-on weekend in Belfast with Paul Mcllroy on his Strength Training masterclass.
Over the two days they covered ‘Mastering the Kettlebell Press’ & ‘Pillars of Power’ - lower body strength, hypertrophy & programming.
The hosts discuss the biggest lessons & takeaways from the weekend regarding technique specifics, programming theory & also big picture attitudes to life & training.

In this episode Peter & James kick off the conversation with a quote recently shared by a dietician online:
“Complication is the enemy of implementation.”
This leads to a discussion around diet, training, healthy lifestyle practises & habit forming.
When over complication occurs so does confusion, often leading to inaction. How can we ‘keep things simple’ & start on the path to a healthier life despite the conflicting opinions & advice available?

We are joined by a truly unique character, discussing a truly unique topic (which I don’t think we’ve even mentioned in 190 episodes) - Kettlebell Juggling!
 
Elisha AKA ‘Electric Farmer’ (for reasons that are explained when you listen) is a music producer & teacher, a sound designer for theatre & art installations AND just happens to be a Kettlebell Juggling Silver & Bronze Medallist.
 
Whether you like Kettlebells or not, whether you’ve ever thought about juggling them or not - you will find this conversation interesting, inspiring & you’ll get to meet a man following his passions & leading the way in a very new sport in Britain.


 


 


 

 

 






 
 

We are joined for the third time by world renowned strength & movement coach, author & the creator of Original Strength - Tim Anderson.
We discuss Tim’s new book ‘A Simple Book of Strength’ & how Tim believes we are all born to be strong & have near infinite strength within us almost from birth - it’s just how we learn to tap into that strength, cultivate & control it.
We discuss what strength actually is - what it is not & how knowing you are strong ‘feels good’ & can actually change the way you show up in the world every day. 
An interesting & inspiring talk with someone who not only walks the walk but also crawls the crawl.

We are joined for the second time by documentary filmmaker Oliver Loom & he’s joined by Emma Rushen, one of the stars & a producer of his latest project.
“False 9: The Reality of Women’s Football” takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, exploring the triumphs & tribulations of a spirited team striving for promotion in the unforgiving world of the tier 7 county leagues.
The core of the film is the inspiring camaraderie among teammates, the indomitable spirit that fuels their pursuit, & the unspoken bond that makes Chelmsford Women’s Football Team a family.
