If you have ever wanted to start rock climbing but didn't know how then this episode is just right for you. We are joined by Joe Castillo, an expert climber and creator of the Climb Life app. Climb Life is the Uber of the climbing world, letting you hook up with expert climbing guides in an area to take you out climbing. This can be going to your local crag or hook you up when travelling to a new area.
We talk to Joe about how he started climbing and how he suggests you get into it. He has climbed all over the world and still has the stoke of someone who just discovered climbing yesterday. From the local climbing gym to finding mentors we have a great talk about all things climbing. Climbing is one of our favorite sports and will become one of yours if you give it a try.
Give a read to our companion article on How To Start Rock Climbing.

Ep. 53: Kettlebell Training For the Outdoor Athlete
Sunday Apr 04, 2021
Sunday Apr 04, 2021
With gyms closed for half of the last year we needed to really up our home gym game. But with the space in an apartment, barbells and a squat rack were out of the question. Winston has a background in using kettlebells to train athletes so a hybrid approach of kettlebells and
bodyweight exercises just kind of made sense for us.
While we were forced to do this it has turned out to be some of the most effective training we've undertaken. Increased strength, conditioning and fat loss all achieved in the front entry way of the apartment. Learn how a cannonball with a handle can help you achieve your outdoor fitness goals, making you a better hiker, climber or mountain biker.
We discuss our training, costs, and ideas to add kettlebell training to your workout plan. If you are looking at how to add fitness to your life and lose the Rona 15, then give a listen.
