  • All About Sleep
    Jun 29 2021

    Have you ever wondered why a Baboon has a red ass?

    This week Kevin and I are talking about sleep. There is so much fascinating research coming out on sleep because for the first time we are in an era where we have technology that can monitor the brain during sleep. Yet, still there is so much information we do not understand.

    We reference a lot of this research from the book “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker. As well as Professors Sasha Handley and Bob Stickgold.

    Now before we get into it, back to the burning question, why does a baboon have a red ass? It is actually caused by sleeping in the trees.

    Welcome back to Around the Whiteboard. This week we are talking about the Fitness Industry. There is so much information available at our fingertips these days and it is easy to fall into a fitness trend, CrossFit was like that too. At the end of the day people want to see results in their health and fitness and sometimes to ‘work hard’ is not always the best approach.

  • Culture
    Jun 8 2021

    Kevin and I get lost in a conversation about culture. Culture is that feeling you get when you walk into the gym, and not the nerves of the workout but rather the gut feeling that the space evokes. No culture is perfect but you want to be excited, fired up and surrounded by like-minded people working towards a similar purpose.

  • High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Workouts
    Jun 1 2021

    We know exercise is good and I feel silly saying this because it is that obvious. However, when it comes to intensity this can mean a lot of different things to people. This week Kev and I compared high and low intensity. We discuss what is happening at these different levels and what a balanced program would look like.
