Those T2B, those deadlifts, those…..Oh wait there’s an episode we have to get to here!

Ep.85: Ice Cream You Scream Feb 19, 2015

Show notes

The Open countdown has officially begun! And by that we mean we’re stalking the Crossfit pros more regularly…OMG Lauren Fisher could you be any cuter. Which then leads us to talking about turning 21, which then leads us to talking about the first time we drank alcohol. In other words, all of this Open talk is making us want to drink. We talk about preparing for your first competition, what to do if you are having issues at your gym and how to confront those issues, and how to handle the whole my-partner-isn’t-as-healthy-as-I-am-HELP situation (spoiler alert: it doesn’t involve something fun like going to Taco Bell). One week from now we’ll be celebrating another Open season!! Are you ready?

Ep.84: Be My Valentine Feb 12, 2015

Show notes

We’re back with a good ole classic Joy & Claire episode! This week we tackle a tough question about how to promote self-love to all body types while still acknowledging that being severely overweight is a major factor of many serious healthÂ problems. But first we start off with some talk aboutÂ 2015 CrossFit Games Open–which, believe it or not, is only 2 weeks away!–and talk about why Joy is already all signed up but Claire is sitting it out. We also reminisce about Valentine’s Day in elementary school, and that one time that Joy dedicated a Debbie Gibson song to her 4th grade boyfriend on the radio. AndÂ don’t worry, Claire’s track record of not knowing female artists from the 80s doesn’t disappoint; she doesn’tÂ know who Debbie Gibson is, either.

Ep.82: WOD Recovery Yoga Jan 29, 2015

Show notes

This week it’s all about recovery and Claire’s favorite word….YOGA! Stephanie Ring from Endure Yoga created a program just for Crossfitters and you are going to want to listen very carefully. Mobility is life. Life is mobility. Or something like that. Stephanie’s goal by the end of this hour was to convince Claire she really is good at yoga. And we sort of made progress because Claire was sitting in pigeon pose in her skinny jeans during the last few minutes of the show. Joy inquires about poses for tight hips from all of her years of running. Stephanie shares her secrets about stretching vs yoga and how we can incorporate this in to our workout routine even with the busiest of schedules. For those of you who rush in to the gym, throw down a tough WOD, and quickly rush out (hellloooo, all of you) you might want to re-think that strategy. Your body will thank you and so will your friends who no longer have to listen to you whine about how sore you are. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Ep.80: Me Time Jan 15, 2015

Show notes

It has been a hectic week in GGW Land, with Joy experiencing a death in the family and Claire starting her second semester of grad school. So, obviously, the conversation quickly turns to facials and manicures, and the importance of some good “Me Time” every once in a while. This week, we also talk about Claire’s adventures in ice climbing and how CrossFit has helped her mentally prepare for hanging over the edge of an icy cliff while holding sharp pointy ice axes, and talk about motivation, our new favorite WODÂ fashion trends, and, of course, Rich Froning’s biceps.

Ep.79: Not a Hugger Jan 08, 2015

Show notes

It’s another episode of GGW Q&A with Joy and Claire! Where we answer your burning questions like, “Joy, in a past life were you a My Little Pony?” Which the answer to that is a resounding DUH. We cover everything from pre-workout fuel to what our husbands do for a living. And then we stop to rant about Mark Sisson’s crazy insane body and how he’s a robot and….why can’t we just eat donuts and get along? Joy gets weird about sharing what she eats in a day, Claire opens up about her short stint of living in Vermont. We cry a little bit about how this time of year is super depressing, and then Claire gets weird about feelings and we learn that she is NOT a hugger. Joy’s new job rules, Claire starts school in a week. Holy crap this year is off to a bang!! P.S. We love you. Let’s do this 2015!

Ep.77: Merry Christmas to Your Gut Dec 25, 2014

Show notes

Merry Christmas! In this episode, eating disorder experts, Nathalia, a Registered Dietitian, and Lisa, a Certified Social Worker, join us again to talk about all things digestion, and, well… poop! We talk about the myth that your body can only absorb “so much” protein, about whether or not kombucha and other fermented foods are really necessary, and what you can tell aboutÂ your body by taking a peek before you flush every once in a while. We also talk about whether CrossFit is a healthy choice for people who are actively recovering from an eating disorder.Â We really didn’t plan to release an episode about poop on Christmas, but that’s just the way the cards fell, and we’re not sorry. And I mean really, would you expect anything less?
