  • EP 4 - Fear of Movement & Building a Bigger Cup
    Jun 19 2023

    Brandon provides valuable insights into RPE and kinesiophobia, two important topics in the world of fitness. By understanding RPE, athletes and coaches can reduce the risk of injury and ensure proper intensity during workouts. Kinesiophobia is a common issue that can prevent people from reaching their physical activity recommendations, but with the right guidance and support, it can be overcome. Brandon also emphasizes the importance of working with clinicians and seeking out their expertise when necessary. Additionally, having the right shoes for training is crucial to prevent injury and improve performance, and it's important to avoid exercises that can cause further injury while still loading damaged tissue to promote recovery.

    The coffee cup of pain exercise is a helpful tool to identify stressors and reduce physical pain by building a bigger cup through positive additions and focusing on controllable factors. Building a bigger cup with positive input can help reduce the risk of pain and finding time for physical activity is possible by working on controllable factors.

  • EP 3 - Three Ways Health is Important as a Dad
    Jun 12 2023

    In this podcast episode, Brandon and his guests, Arlo and Cody, discuss the importance of fathers taking care of their health for themselves and their families. The first key idea is longevity, which involves maintaining good health to be able to see one's children grow up and potentially become grandparents. This is particularly important for Cody, who has experienced family members passing away from diseases that could have been prevented with better health. The second key idea is mental health, as being a father can be stressful and overwhelming, and taking care of one's mental health can improve overall well-being and relationships with family members. The third key idea is setting an example for children, as they often mimic their parents' behaviors and attitudes towards health and fitness. By prioritizing fitness and health, fathers can instill positive habits in their children and create a healthy lifestyle for the whole family. 

    The guests also discuss the importance of consistency and finding motivation to stay on track with fitness goals. Fathers must lead by example and make their health a priority, as it is essential to take care of oneself before taking care of others. The guests emphasize the importance of physical fitness, mental health, and technology-free time for the whole family. Fathers should be present and engaged with their children, rather than wasting time on devices. They should seize the moment to make memories with their children and spouses, as time is fleeting and cannot be regained. 

    The guests encourage fathers to start now and course correct if they have not been prioritizing their health and family time. It's never too late to start. Fathers should be intentional about their time and spend it being active with their children, whether it's going outside to play or shooting hoops. The key is to be present and engaged with their children, rather than being caught up in stress and anxiety. Ultimately, fathers must set the example for their family and prioritize their health to lead a healthy lifestyle and create a positive impact on their children's well-being.
