    Fit for Duty

    For many people, staying in shape can feel like a full-time job. For Officer Anthony Price, it’s one of three. Also a police officer and dad of four, Anthony gives us some insight into what it takes to keep all three jobs running smoothly. When we moved into the neighborhood, Anthony and his family were some of the first people we met. It was quickly clear we shared the same passion for fitness. In a career that requires physical readiness but has little to no physical standards, Anthony sets his own. In this episode, Anthony recounts his own experiences in the police force. He shares the importance of perspective and how he has learned that “fitness for duty” is not just a physical state, but a state of mental readiness and maturity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV6G9gcIvJE&feature=youtu.be

    7 Days of Cheap Healthy Meals

    There’s a huge misconception regarding healthy meals––that is, cheap healthy meals. Meal planning is usually laid out in a diagram telling us “cheap, healthy, tasty” doesn’t exist. In fact, we’ve just got to submit to choosing two. However, this just isn’t true, and we at Fit for the Task would like to think we have a bit of authority on the matter. For example, these are meals we have eaten as broke college students, struggling adults, and otherwise just frugal fitness fanatics (say that five times fast). We’re speaking as a couple who frequently has contests for who can spend the least at the grocery store. These are our real go-to meals that work for us. They’re not all we eat all the time, but they’re a very good starting point for anyone trying to make healthy eating a habit. https://www.fitforthetask.com/cheap-healthy-meals/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuuYWMaTZXg&feature=youtu.be

    What to Do When We Lack Fitness Motivation

    We’ve been playing our “pump-up” jams all morning, scrolled through our entire “Fitness Motivation” board on Pinterest, and tried hyping ourselves up with videos of heavy men picking up even heavier objects. Still, a voice is heard in the distance: “But I don’t wanna!” Who said it? A five-year-old kid in need of a bath or us, parked outside the gym on a leg day? Unfortunately, fitness motivation doesn’t always come naturally. Nevertheless, there are 5 simple steps we can use to stir up motivation or still be productive even on days we just feel like holing up and being lazy. Fitness Motivation Article

    How to Get Flexible Fast!

    Flexibility isn’t something some people have and some people don’t. It’s something that is worked toward. The best part about it is anyone can get flexible! It’s easy to look at someone who can comfortably sit on the floor in a large straddle, slide into a split, or even just squat down to the floor with heels on the ground feet and think, Man, I wish I were that flexible. Well, why not become that flexible? Through proper hydration, exercises, recovery, and stretching, learning how to get flexible quickly isn’t a stretch.

    Stretching for Sciatica Pain Relief

    Sciatica––it sounds like a life sentence of chronic pain numbed only by painkillers and chiropractor visits. Too often, stretching for sciatica is not added into the equation, even though it can eliminate the need for painkillers, improve range of motion, and prevent further injury. Maybe all we were trying to do was lift our kid up onto the swing, move a new desk upstairs, or maybe just drive to work then sit at a desk all day. Now we’re bound to the couch, walking with a limp, and in constant pain. Chiropractor visits aren’t even an option because we can’t manage to lie flat without excruciating pain. Pain pills are only masking the condition, but to figure out what’s really wrong, we need to understand what exactly sciatica is.

    Gym Equipment for a Full-Body Workout at Home

    One look at all the fancy equipment in the local gym, and suddenly our flimsy yoga mat and single pair of dumbbells feel pretty useless. How can we manage a full-body workout without breaking the bank? We can’t exactly fit an elliptical in our tiny apartment, and we’re pretty sure Mom wouldn’t be too pleased if we swapped out the crib for a squat rack. Don’t worry! A challenging, effective full-body workout can be achieved with just a few pieces of versatile equipment.

    5 Small Steps to a Fitness Transformation

    Wait! Put down that 21-Day Booty Blaster or Get Ripped Quick Scheme, and take a minute to first get the major things into order. A fitness transformation doesn’t happen overnight, and especially not after a few weeks. Sure, any kind of movement is a powerful first step to getting your booty (ahem, body) in top-notch condition, but what about when those 21 days are over? Create real, sustainable change and a solid foundation for a motivated and confident lifestyle by adjusting with small, achievable changes. (And if you then decide to try your Ab Shredder or Bicep Buster, you may actually see the results you’re looking for!)

    Just Get Outside

    We wouldn’t typically associate an ice rink with Southern California, yet Zeke Ottemiller is an excellent hockey player currently living in San Diego. Even through a busy work schedule, he still makes time to skate and compete in a men’s league. Zeke has been one of my good friends ever ever since I can remember. We started playing baseball together back in preschool and have stayed in touch ever since. About four years ago, Zeke and his wife Jess got married and moved to San Diego. Since then, they’ve been taking part in all sorts of outdoor activities and taking advantage of the beautiful 75 and sunny weather. In this episode, we discuss how we can stay fit for our tasks simply by doing them. Fitness doesn’t have to mean running or weightlifting. As far as Zeke and Jess’ fitness regimes go, they’re about finding something to do outside. Whether that’s roller skating, surfing, hiking, or even just taking a walk, finding something we enjoy can make all the difference.

    Jiu-Jitsu Is for Everyone

    Mackenzie Smith may be small, but she’s not to be messed with! She’s always been mentally tough, but she’s recently taken that fight to the jiu-jitsu mat. Mackenzie is a longtime friend of ours. (In fact, she designed our logo!) After watching her boyfriend (Levi) compete, Mackenzie started jiu-jitsu herself. Encouraged by the physical diversity of jiu-jitsu athletes, she’s learned how to leverage her skills to get even the biggest opponent to tap. In this episode, Mackenzie explains the basics for jiu-jitsu beginners and the hurdles of entering a new fitness environment––especially when the cards seem stacked against us. Mackenzie talks about how being small, having asthma, and being a woman in a male-dominated sport are definitely obstacles, but there are practical solutions to improve. Be encouraged––everyone has a chance in jiu-jitsu!

He recalls his own entry to mountain biking and explains how to get into biking as a beginner. From bike brands to styles of biking, he answers the need-to-know questions for biking beginners.

    Simplifying Fitness

    Jeffrey Young started out as a 3-time state champion swimmer at Hersey High School. He went on to have a 4-year D1 swimming career at Penn State, and he has now found his calling in physical therapy. Jeffery has been my roommate in Pittsburgh for 3 years, and over this time, I’ve frequently compared him to a walking encyclopedia. He could forget more about the human body than I could ever know. He always has an interesting fact to share, is incredibly invested in his education, and his willingness to learn is unlike any other. He’s headed to High Point University to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy. Through his athletics and education, Jeffrey has found people often perceive “fitness” as something more challenging than what it needs to be. In this episode, we cover how to simplify fitness and how to start if you’re feeling stuck. It’s been a blast getting to know Jeffrey over the past 3 years. I hope y’all enjoy the show!
