We've talked about general, metabolic, heart, and mental health in previous episodes, but now we tackle the topic of sexual health.
While there are some specifics, it turns out that when you are fitter and in a good mental space, your sexual performance and desire will tend to increase.
We talk about how aging and hormones affect sexual performance and what you can do to stave off age-related decline.

If you are a summer person, it can be easy to go into slacker mode when the cooler weather comes. To keep on track, it helps to create some off-season fitness goals to keep you improving and get dialed in for next summer.
In this episode, we discuss suggested ideas for off-season goals and how to implement them. Catharine and Winston review how they plan their Fall and Winter to improve health and fitness and stay motivated, from body composition to fixing weaknesses.
Get jacked this winter rather than having to start over next spring. Make next summer the best ever by having your best off-season.

There is a lot of talk about optimal training, but we love the concept of Minimum Effective Dose.
This is the minimum amount of training to make progress. For people who are pressed for time, this approach will still get you progressing toward your goals with the least amount of time spent exercising.
Depending on our schedules and time of year, we will have times when we train optimally, with many hours spent training per week with periods of minimalist training.
In this episode, Winston talks about the amount of work needed to improve strength, muscle mass, endurance and mobility. You will probably be surprised by how little you need to do to see measurable progress.

If you want to maximize your training and live a long life, then it makes sense to vary your exercise program to match the seasons.
Give a listen to this episode to understand the ideas of periodization.
You can't maximize all physical qualities simultaneously, so Winston takes you through how to plan a year of exercise. He uses Catharine and his yearly plan to illustrate how and why to build your training program this way.
Rather than be frustrated because there isn't enough time in the week to hit everything you need, spend seasons focusing on specific athletic traits like endurance or strength while doing just enough to maintain the other traits.

It isn't how much training you do that maximizes your progress. It is how much training you can recover from that does.
In this episode, we chat about recovery techniques that we use to improve our recovery and feel better.
From easy-to-implement activities like stretching and getting more sleep to the more resource dependent like massage, sauna and supplements.
As we get older, we need to recover just as hard as we train to continue progressing and reducing our risk of injury.

One of the most common goals people have is to lose body fat. We all know you must consume fewer calories than you burn to achieve this.
But what happens when you eat clean and exercise a lot and the weight doesn't seem to come off?
In this episode, we discuss this exact problem as it is something Catharine is going through. She is getting in lots of activity, eating enough protein and not snacking, but the scale is stalled.
You can learn about her experience and the tips Coach Winston has implemented in her program that you can use to kick-start your fat loss.
Like most episodes, we go off on tangents with actionable tips you can implement in your fitness journey.

When asked about the ultimate minimalist home gym, the Beastie Boys' "Two Turntables and a Microphone" line popped into my head. Only I heard it as "Two Kettlebells and a Pull-Up Bar."
With that combination and a couple of accessories, you can forge a bulletproof physique ready for anything life throws at it.
When helping clients set up a home gym, we recommend getting a pair of adjustable kettlebells because you will have a whole rack worth in two square feet of floor space.
We endorse the Bells of Steel Adjustable Kettlebells, which are well made and from a Canadian Company. https://www.bellsofsteel.com/all-products/conditioning/kettlebells/adjustable-kettlebell/#a_aid=Livewild

Working out and eating right is easy when you are motivated. Motivation is just another way of saying you feel like it.
In this episode, we talk about how to stay motivated, disciplined and consistent. The key is to make your fitness journey a habit, and we talk about ways we use to stay on track with both our training and nutrition.
So much of fitness is just showing up, and there are many ways you can program your life so you get off of your ass and make it happen, from getting training partners or a coach to adding your workouts to your calendar on your phone.
Feel free to drop us a line and let us know what works for you.
