Fitness In MotionEp. 10: Sleep DeprivationIn today's episode, we discuss the effects of sleep deprivation on the body and how it can impact our overall health and fitness program/approach. If you feel you are not getting optimal sleep, it is important to identify why your body lacks the ability to use sleep as a physiological reset and recover time. Sometimes it is helpful to go over some tricks and techniques leading up to your routine wind-down before bed to start improving your sleep quality.
I share some of my opinions and information on sleep deprivation, but I also have been totally consumed in the...2021-09-0839 min
Fitness In MotionEp. 9: PPCCMM --- Cardio Training and Deep SquatsIn today's episode, I answer two questions that were sent my way: 1) "How can I enhance my cardio training?" and 2) "Is squatting below parallel bad for my knees?".
I have had many personal experiences with these two topics, bringing me all the way back to when we were performing indirect calorimetry tests almost every day back in grad school, to the more recent years when I have performed and studied "deep squats" more myself. I hope these topics interest you as much as they have for me. Feel free to reach out with questions yourself and you...2021-08-1042 minFitness In MotionEp. 8: Fat Flux and Dunning-Kruger EffectIn today's episode, we dive into the biochemistry of fat flux and lipolysis. What happens to an adipose cell when our bodies increase fat tissue? Why is it so difficult to decrease fat tissue?
We also touch on the Dunning-Kruger Effect and it's application to absolute knowledge vs. perceived knowledge. How can this be helpful when getting us to our health and fitness goals? How can this be detrimental when searching for information on certain topics?
***Several examples and concepts in today's episode were inspired by Peter Attia, MD and his podcast "The Drive"...2021-07-2744 minFitness In MotionEp. 7: PPCCMM - How Should We View Body Fat? How Should We View The Gym?Today's episode will be our first PPCCMM (Personal Points / Coach's Corner / Motivational Monday). This means we have a very relaxed conversation about some topics where I share some personal points, opinions, and coach's concerns on this fine Monday.
This won't be jam packed with as much research data or sciencey education as regular episodes, but I hope it still offers some content that will help all of you put your fitness into motion. Thanks again for tuning in, FIM Fam!

2021-07-1334 minFitness In MotionEp. 6: Let's Talk About StressWelcome FIM Fam!
In today's episode, we talk about stress and what types of stress might be affecting our ability to get to our health and fitness goals. It is hard not to talk about stress without mentioning Cortisol, so we definitely dive into that. I wanted to deliver a more informative type of episode to get the brain juices going on what actually is happening in our bodies when adapting to stressors.
I know this is a very talked-about topic, but here is my take on what stress is doing to our bodies and...2021-06-2932 minFitness In MotionEp. 5: Should You Be Doing 'Resistance Training' AND 'Cardio Training' At The Same Time?In today's episode, we try to answer the question: Should we be doing resistance training and cardio training at the same time?
.
To start answering this long-lived question, we introduce some evidence-based research, some real-world examples, some weird tangents, and some practical recommendations to get your brain juices going so you have a better understanding on how you can continue putting your fitness into motion. What is the SAID Principle? What is Concurrent Training? Why should I be doing what I'm doing? Knowledge is power and being tactical can be practical.

2021-06-1537 minFitness In MotionEp. 4: Why Should We Talk About Metabolism?In today's episode, I wanted to have a discussion about metabolism and how we can start interpreting the word correctly. When talking about a topic like this, it can be very confusing on how it impacts us, what we can do to improve it, or even understand what it is.
To help us through the episode, I focus on 4 key points that make up our Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and their impact on our metabolism: 1) BMR. 2) Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). 3) Physical Activity. 4) Diet-Induced Thermogenesis. If you don't know where to start or...2021-06-0124 minFitness In MotionEp. 3: CrossFit Talk with Chase HarrisIn today's episode, FIM had on our first guest appearance, Chase Harris. Chase and I met back in our Exercise Physiology graduate program and have recently reconnected in the last year or so through our passion of health and fitness. Chase has had multiple positions in the health and fitness industry and we could not have asked for a better guest on the show.
On his podcast "The Chase Is On", he released an episode talking about CrossFit from a "non-CrossFitter" perspective, which really sparked some conversations between us so I wanted to...2021-05-1741 minFitness In MotionEp. 2: Filtering Through the FrenzyIn today's episode, I wanted to address the fact that the world we are living in is much different. In the last handful of ears, and especially in 2020, the health and fitness industry has become more virtual and digital. As the interest of health and fitness grows, so do the outlets for gaining education and advice, which can be wicked double-edged sword. In this episode, I wanted to share a couple points on the trending and popular avenues that the general population is taking to seek what they want/need for their own health and fitness goals. More importantly, I...2021-05-0438 minFitness In MotionEp. 1: Muscle Myths and Why It Is No Longer Just a "Dumb Tissue"In today's episode, we discuss the importance of muscle tissue and how we can start viewing its importance no matter what goals or background we have. Do we need to break down muscle to grow more? Do we need to feel sore after a workout to promote muscle growth? How do we actually build more muscle? Why is it important and how does it apply to everything and everyone?
Let's be honest, we have all heard that muscle is important and that we need more of it. But, do we actually know what goes...2021-04-2045 minFitness In MotionPodcast Preview: What is 'Fitness in Motion'?Thank you all for tuning in and joining the FIM Fam, or 'Fitness in Motion Family'.

The Chase Is OnEpisode 21: Kyler Eid on transitioning to a trainer, using 2020 as a reset, and more!In today's episode I talk with my good friend, Kyler Eid. Kyler and myself met in graduate school and have continued to be in contact, sometimes more frequently...sometimes less, since then. He's an awesome person with a ton of knowledge and experience from both the clinical and gym settings. Today we go over his transition from Cardiac Rehab to medical sales/tech to Personal trainer, some of his initial thoughts of trainers and what he believes now, his thoughts on Grad school and it's benefits beyond knowledge, and how he used the shutdown of 2020 to reset and be healthier and...2021-01-3134 min
