Ep. 64: Surviving A Skydiver‘s Worst Nightmare with Kris Konway
Thursday Oct 07, 2021
Thursday Oct 07, 2021
What do you do when both your main and reserve parachutes don't deploy properly? We have a chat with one of Catharine's friends from high school about his adventures and how adventure has changed his life.
Our guest, Kris Konway, is one of the few skydivers in the world to have a double malfunction and live to tell the tale. He tells the tale of how training and luck allowed him to walk away from what is every skydiver's nightmare.
From why he began sky diving to how adventure has been a driving force in his life, Kris gives his take on how to live as big as possible. Give a listen and see that hitting middle-age doesn't mean you have to slow down.

Adventure is the act of heading into the unknown, which is a great way to describe the last year and a half. We've already done a number of episodes talking about how we've been dealing with the changes that COVID has dropped on us but this time we talk with the kids about their experiences. Hudson and Amanda have weathered the storm and built new skills.

Ep. 59: Let‘s Go Hiking
Thursday Jul 08, 2021
Thursday Jul 08, 2021
It's time to go for a walk in the woods. Whether you call it hiking or trekking, anytime you go for a long walk in the dirt, you enter the world of nature, fitness, and self-reflection. Hiking is the experience you make it. It's a chance to distress, exercise, and enjoy a forest bath all at the same time.

What's got two wheels and goes BRRRRRR? Why us of course. Join us as we talk about hitting the dirt on our mountain bikes. Like most of the activities, we cover Winston has been doing it since the 1980s (Yes, he is old) and Catharine has started relatively recently. It works well to get the perspective from a new rider and the guy who used to race and own a bike shop.

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.
