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.

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.

Summer is over and the kids are back in school. This gives you the opportunity to create a schedule and get back on track with your training. The distractions of vacations, kids activities, BBQs, drinks on the patio, and beers around the campfire are replaced with a regimented schedule leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In this episode, we talk about how your fitness journey should flow in seasons with different emphasis during different times of year. We talk about how we build our own programs around our interests and give some tips to help you stay consistent.
Fitness needs to be a lifestyle if you want to be strong in your senior years so think about finding ways to make it fun and rewarding so you are around to be that kickass grandparent.

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.
