The Active Life Podcast

Carl Paoli is on the show today! Carl is a wizard of human movement coaching. In this podcast we discuss things like how you can get better at muscle ups without even touching the rings, how you can be a better coach by making a one degree change to your mindset, and how to get started as an influencer of culture as a seminar presenter. Carl has presented over 600 times which means he has personally met tens of thousands of people and helped each of them become better movers. If you are interested in getting better fast, make sure you get Carl’s book, “Freestyle”. In this episode we touch briefly on how and why Carl decided to write it in the first place   Carl can be found: @CarlPaoli

The most common question we get asked is “What’s wrong with my ________ and how can I fix it?” The most common answer we send back is “we have no idea, we need to see your movement assessment first.” We want to help you, but we need you to start getting serious about helping yourself so that we can be effective. In this episode we talk about why an assessment is important and some of the most glaring examples we have seen.

Jay Leydon is the owner of CrossFit Milford and the coach of dozens of CrossFit Games athletes, but if you know us by now, you know that just as important as his coaching capacity to us is the kind of person Jay is. The more we speak with Jay the more we want to work with him. In this episode we discuss everything from how to write programming for athletes, to how to build relationships with people as a coach and mentor. I learned a lot from Jay that I’ve already implemented in my personal relationships and I’m sure you will find this episode valuable. Enjoy!   Jay can be found: @JasonLeydon @CFMilfordAthletics @CrossFit_Milford

You breathe like shit. Sorry, it’s true. According to Dr. Belisa between 90% and 95% of Americans are using the wrong muscles when they breathe. Breathing with the wrong muscles can lead to diminished athletic performance, back pain, and even early death, so it makes sense for you to listen to this tactical episode. Dr. Belisa takes us through not only theory but on this podcast we have some very simple tactical advice coming your way, if you listen to this episode with intent you’re going to be sweating when it’s over, we have some work for you in there!   Dr. Belisa can be found: Instagram @drbelisa Web www.thebreathingclass.com

Doctors are too often hoping that their type of treatment is appropriate for your condition instead of evaluating your condition and modifying how they deliver their treatment. Often times a referral is the best option. In this episode we speak about how healthcare needs to function more like the UFC if it’s ever going to do for you what it’s meant to.

Lindy Barber is one o the most decorated CrossFit Games athletes in history having competed twice as an individual and twice as a team athlete. She has taken first place and second place in the affiliate cup with Team Mayhem. Five years ago Lindy had a catastrophic spinal injury that put all of these accolades in major doubt. On this episode we discuss overcoming adversity, coaching for populations with injury, and what the mindset of training for at team is like as compared to the mindset of training to compete individually. In listening to this episode you will be blown away by the person who Lindy is the same way that we have been. It is a must listen.
