  • The Journey From January Goals to Sustainable Health Habits
    Jan 27 2024

    Ever found yourself at the crossroads of wanting to push your limits while still enjoying life's guilty pleasures? Join us, Barry and Matthew, as we shake off the podcasting rust and get candid about our fitness journeys and setting impactful New Year's goals. We're not just talking about the same old resolutions; we're digging into the real stuff, like how to balance indulgence with dedication.

    We've all been there—struggling to get out of bed for that early morning spin class or grappling with the decision of whether to hit the gym or the pub. In this heart-to-heart, we chat about spinning, the changing face of fitness trends, and how crucial sleep and hydration are for your well-being. Plus, we reveal the dark side of over-exercising, sharing personal setbacks and the importance of rest, so you can navigate the fine line between commitment and excess without winding up with a tale of swollen testicles—yes, you heard that right!

    As we rev up for an epic fitness retreat, we're dissecting the telltale signs of overtraining and the ways to keep your fitness flame burning bright without burning out. It's not just about the workouts; we're discussing everything from the sober-curious Dry January to why short-term dieting may not cut it for long-term gains. Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even wince a little with us, as we prepare you to tackle all the adventures 2024 has lined up.
