Over the last fortnight, I’ve been exploring three key questions with people: (1) How do I avoid going crazy? (2) How do I avoid going broke? (3) How do I avoid going backwards with my training? This podcast is about question 3. Not surprisingly (to me), some people are actually getting great results away from their ‘normal’, simply because they’re now stimulating their body in a new way. In this episode, I share some variations (from slight to significant) on some old concepts. Despite the title, not all of my suggestions are specific to exercise. If you’re after some new ideas, a little science and a laugh or two, this is a good chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne FC CEO and TYP favourite, Cameron Schwab returns to chat with us about his recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent journey. On February 14, Cam was diagnosed with prostate cancer and on February 23, he spoke at our TYP conference knowing that the next day he would find out whether or not the cancer had spread through his body. I won’t tell you the rest of the story (you’ll have to listen) but I will tell you that I love the way Cam thinks, teaches and shares so authentically. This was a very thoughtful conversation. PS. Apologies for the poor audio quality on my microphone. Getting a new one tomorrow. Won’t happen again.designceo.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like many others, Leanne Hamilton is a small business owner who is trying to navigate her new unexpected normal. With a very ‘hands-on’ service (a functional movement studio called Swift Fitness), 17 staff, 300 clients and significant weekly expenses, Leanne (like many others) has been in the middle of a very steep learning (and adapting) curve over the last few weeks. With massive pressure and uncertainty and almost no sleep, Leanne has been working tirelessly to adapt her business model, delivery of service and the way she connects with and supports her clients. In this episode, Craig and Leanne have a very raw, real and practical conversation about ‘finding a way’ professionally, personally, financially, emotionally and mentally.swiftfitness.com.auswiftfitness.thinkific.comonline@swiftfitness.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Irishman is back and this time he and Harps talk about lessons learned from his military experience, The Stockdale Paradox (it’s a thing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (another thing), reframing and resilience, finding the possibilities in the mayhem and what the Stoics might have thought about our current situation.

After 50,000 PT sessions, 35 years in the fitness industry, 30 years training athletes and 25 years owning gyms, Craig has a few ideas about optimising time, energy and genetic potential in less-than-ideal situations. So for this episode, he dusts off his Exercise Science degree, drags his Everlast singlet out of retirement and goes deep exploring the multitude of options, graduations and variations we have at our disposal to be able to exercise (train, move) productively, effectively and safely at home with zero exercise equipment.PS. Apologies for the audio quality, this is the first episode recorded away from the studio, with Craig and Melissa in different locations. We’re figuring it out as we go and we’re working hard to keep producing great content for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an episode full of ideas, stories, inspiration, insights and strategies that will resonate with many. Personally, I loved it. I actually forgot I was recording and got lost in the conversation with one of Australia’s best thinkers, communicators and coaches. If you’re a human, you should listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While it could have been a heavy conversation, it turned out to be one of the silliest and funniest chats Melissa and I have ever had. On air or off. In the middle of some practical thoughts and ideas around our current challenge, I managed to share two stories about Melissa that she definitely didn’t want shared publicly. You’re welcome. Of course I’m in trouble but it was totally worth it. #ohwellSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
