Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

When we encounter issues or inefficiencies with the way things work, we often find ourselves in one of two categories:  1. We are the person who complains about the thing that is wrong. 2. We are the person who does something about it.  A few years ago in the world of CrossFit (and now expanding into the world of organized gymnastics) former information technologist, Eugene Blazhko, saw an inefficiency with the way hand grips were being approached...so instead of simply complaining about the rips on his hands, he did something about it.  Tune in to episode 473 of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast to be inspired by the entrepreneurial dynamic duo of Eugene and Alex and how the company WOD & Done came to be.  So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.

High intensity is often misunderstood and is oversimplified in the definition of CrossFit. Intensity is not just how hard you go in workouts, it is the frequency with which you workout. If you think about it with respect to the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum, fitness is a hedge against sickness. Therefore, too much intensity will actually prevent you from pushing to the side of fitness. The same "constantly varied" you do in the gym should apply to outside of the gym. So get out of your affiliate, and learn and play new sports in addition to your CrossFit training.  So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.

Adapting a workout is not the same thing as scaling a workout. In this episode of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast, Ackerman sits down with Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Brain​ Injury Specialist, and CF-L2 Trainer at Invictus Boston, Jenna Muri-Rosenthal, to discuss the impacts of exercise on brain health - specifically with individuals who have sustained a bran injury.

One of the biggest frustrations from the patient side in our traditional healthcare system is that there seems to be a misunderstanding about what we do in CrossFit. One of the biggest frustrations on the physician side in our current traditional healthcare system is that there is no time to address root causes of health issues with patients or to develop a relationship with them. CrossFit Precision Care aims to bridge that gap by brining intentional guidance to CrossFit Affiliates. Tune in to episode 469 of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast to hear Dr. Julie Foucher, Games Athlete and Founding Member of CrossFit Precision Care, dive into what this program is and what it means for the CrossFit Community.

There is a reason nutrition is at the bottom of the pyramid for the theoretical hierarchy of an athlete - the only way to build a house with a strong foundation is from the ground up.  Start from inside your body and work your way out. Learn more about how to successfully accomplish this by listening in to Ackerman's interview with Royi Metser with InsideTracker (www.insidetracker.com).

We read an email today that sparked a conversation around  whether or not box owners should charge for drop-ins. If it sounds ridiculous, that's because it is a little ridiculous. In this episode we give you some best practices as to how to best handle situations like this. Spoiler alert: it does not begin with you replying to that ridiculous email. Before you send any type of response (if you choose to send any at all), ask yourself: "Is this for me? Or is it for them?" The answer is almost always the former. And if that is the case, your reply to that ridiculous email is not worth sending. So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.

Affiliate Owners: your coaches want feedback.  Coaches: If you are not receiving feedback, ask for it. If nothing changes and you become unhappy with your situation, then change it. You are not married to your affiliate.  Mediocrity is achieved on both ends of this spectrum when communication falls apart.  You didn't wake up this morning hoping to just do "OK" today. You woke up aiming to achieve great things. Level up your coaching staff to that same degree by offering feedback.  In that same vein, coaches, if you are not receiving the feedback you desire, ask for it or seek it out elsewhere.  Stop blaming your situation and everyone besides yourself.  Take action.  So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their Day.
