    Open Sky Fitness Podcast

    Rob & Devon Dionne have been in the health and fitness world for over a decade. Devon is a Holistic Nutrition Counselor and GYROTONIC® Instructor. Rob is a certified personal trainer with NASM, holding advanced certification, CES, PES, MMA, and Weight Loss Specialist. He’s also a level 1 Crossfit Instructor.

    The Open Sky Fitness Podcast is perfect for men and women who are trying to get back in shape after neglecting their health after years of focusing on their jobs or building a family. Remember what it was like when you were 20 years old? Diet and exercise wasn’t a thing. If you worked out for a few days or stopped eating cheese burgers for a week, you’d drop ten pounds. Too bad we can’t live in that reality forever. Welcome to life after 30.

    Rob & Devon would like to help you find the right path for this moment in your life. We don’t believe in going on a diet. We don’t believe there’s only one way to achieving the body you want. We do believe in creating a lifestyle that allows you to have the best of both worlds…eating delicious food and being healthy at the same time. It is possible. Just listen to our show and you’ll see!

    If you have questions you’d like us to answer on our show or via email, feel free to contact Rob. If you’d just like to write us a letter and give us your feedback, we’d love that too. Send everything to Rob@OpenSkyFitness.com

    Hunter McIntrye: Evolution of a Spartan Athlete-Ep. 99 Jun 07, 2016
    Show notes

    Please leave a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review

    We had two special guests on this week's episode of the Open Sky Fitness Podcast. One of our previous guests, Evan Dollard, teamed up with Rob to talk to fellow extreme obstacle athlete, Hunter McIntyre. Evan was the 2008 male winner of American Gladiators and also competed on American Ninja Warrior 2. Hunter is Spartan Race Athlete and has been featured on the TV show, Boundless. Next up in both of their careers, they are participating in NBC's Summer Spartan Ultimate Challenge which begins airing on Monday, June 13th. Evan is the Field Reporter of the show while Hunter leads on one of the teams through the race as a Spartan Elite.

    We had an amazing time on the show while learning more about Hunter and his story about how he came to be a Spartan Athlete. It's a wild journey of how he evolved from being a mischievous high school kid to a logger and how that path eventually led him to become one of the world's best short course and long course extreme obstacle athletes. Hunter's story is truly inspiring and one of a kind. He also shared with us how participating in specific training events such as the SEALFIT Kokoro Camp really helped him mature and become the leader that he is today.

    About Hunter McIntyre

    Hunter possesses a unique and potent combination of strength and endurance. As an avid student of the Crossfit Endurance training method he's successfully welded the physique and strength of a Crossfit competitor with the endurance of a marathon runner. Hunter AKA 'The Sheriff" loves to perform with the showmanship of a WWF wrestler. He is, however, an inveterate lover of all things- particularly life. At the age of just 27 he's already been a lumberjack in Montana, a party "enthusiast", and a male model. His wild and crazy charisma shines, Hunter, was born to entertain! His passion for life is built around creating each day to be better than the day before. Hunter's fanatical love for Obstacle Course Racing pushes him every day to the limits, while cultivating his goals of continuing to be the very best athlete the sport has to offer. Hunter inspires others to athleticism by demonstrating the sheer fun of life.

    Kristen Mancinelli: How to Get to Ketosis-Ep. 98 Jun 01, 2016
    Show notes

    This week, Rob and Devon talked with their friend and Ketogenic Diet expert, Kristen Mancinelli. Not only is she highly knowledgeable about Ketogenic, but Kristen also has a solid background in Paleo and has written about both diets in various publications including LIVESTRONG.ORG , Paleo magazine, and her own book, The Ketogenic Diet: A Scientifically Proven Approach to Fast, Healthy Weight Loss. Kristen shared a lot of good information on the Open Sky Fitness podcast with us including her own experience with the Ketogenic Diet; what it was like to reach the stage of Ketosis; how many carbs a person should take in on a daily basis; and what are the right and wrong foods to eat while on the diet. We were also able to answer some of our listeners' questions about the topic such as: Can an athlete or active person follow a Ketogenic Diet? and Can you follow a Ketogenic Diet with a busy schedule and still try to consistently workout? Can carbs be included?

    When beginning a new diet, workout regime, or goal; the more support and positive vibes that we can get from others, the better. That doesn't mean that you should stop believing in yourself and only rely on others, but it's always good to have a support system as well. Devon and Kristen are actually Accountability Partners and they took some time during the podcast to shed some light on the topic and share their insight on why it's good to have an Accountability Partner to help you stay on track of your goals.

    About Kristen Mancinelli

    Kristen Mancinelli, MS, RDN, is a nutrition scientist and educator who is passionate about making science and health information useful for everyone. She has been an adjunct instructor in the Program in Nutrition at Columbia University and has presented at numerous professional conferences on the subject of nutrition and health. Kristen received her bachelors degree in chemistry from NYU and a master of science in public health and nutrition from Columbia University. Currently in Los Angeles, Kristen counsels individuals in weight loss and prevention of chronic disease at UCLA, and writes frequently for popular media on the subjects of paleo and low-carb dieting, and the role of the food environment in shaping individual food choices.

    Dr. Loren Cordain: The Origin of the Paleo Diet-Ep. 97 May 24, 2016
    Show notes

    Leave us a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review

    This week's podcast is all about good nutrition with a focus on discussing the Paleo Diet with Dr. Loren Cordain. But before our interview with Dr. Cordain, Rob and Devon took some time to talk about the difference between emotional hunger cravings and actual hunger when our stomachs are grumbling for something to eat. We've all been there when all of a sudden we're craving ice cream, chocolate, chips, or Mc Donald's etc. out of no where during the day. Tune in as Rob and Devon give us some personal tips and answer questions such as: What causes us to emotionally eat? What are our triggers to begin emotionally eating? How can we avoid it and make healthier choices?

    If you listen often to the podcast, you may remember that we talk a lot about Paleo on the show so it was an amazing experience for Rob to talk to Dr. Cordain directly about the diet. Dr Cordain is considered to be the Founder of the Paleo Diet and we learned so much from him as he explained the origins of the Paleo diet and his research; what are some of the myths about Paleo vs. the true facts; and how Paleo compares to other diets such as a Plant-based diet or the low-carb Ketogenic Diet and so much more. We could've gone on an on talking about the Paleo Diet with Dr. Cordain!

    About Dr. Loren Cordain

    Dr. Loren Cordain is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. His research emphasis over the past 20 years has focused upon the evolutionary and anthropological basis for diet, health and well being in modern humans. Dr. Cordain's scientific publications have examined the nutritional characteristics of worldwide hunter-gatherer diets as well as the nutrient composition of wild plant and animal foods consumed by foraging humans. He is the world's leading expert on Paleolithic diets and has lectured extensively on the Paleolithic nutrition worldwide. Dr. Cordain is the author of five popular bestselling books including The Paleo Diet, The Paleo Answer, The Paleo Diet Cookbook, and The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook summarizing his research findings.

    John Kenny: How to Become an Open Water Swimmer-ep. 93 Apr 26, 2016
    Show notes

    Leave us a review at http://openskyfitness.com/review

    Last week we talked about our raffle to win a copy of Shawn Stevenson's book, Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to A Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success. We still have three copies of the book to give away and all you have to do is leave us a review, take a screen shot, and email the screen shot with your US home address to rob@openskyfitness.com.

    On the Open Sky Fitness podcast this week, Rob and Devon had a motivating discussion about how important it is to stop being your own enemy by limiting yourself from thinking positively and from reaching your goals. Even if you don't think you are limiting yourself, you probably are without even realizing it. Both Rob and Devon give great, personal examples and advice on how to better understand yourself and overcome any mental obstacles that are getting in the way of you becoming who you want to be in life.

    Today's podcast is about swimming and Rob spoke with one of the top athletes and coaches in open water swimming, John Kenny, about how to train and compete in an open water swim. John talks about personal training experiences and shares his advice on how to plan a workout; what to eat before and during a swim; and good swimming technique to be able to improve your freestyle stroke and endurance in the water. If you want to add swimming to your workout or train for a specific event such as an open water competition or a triathlon, this will be a very helpful podcast for you to listen to.

    John is from a competitive swimming and running background. He competed in both sports at the high school and later at the college level for Cornell University. He competed in swimming for Cornell for 4 years and where he was a 1-time MVP. During his college days and beyond, John found his niche in the sport of open water swimming. John was a 5-time US National champion in distances ranging from 10K up to 25K. He was a 7-time National team member and has competed at a wide variety of races including Nationals, Olympic trials, Pan Ams, Pan Pacs, World Cups, and World Championships. He has been competing at local open water races since 1990, attended his first Open Water Nationals in 1997, and most recently represented the USA in the 25K at World Championships in 2008. John Kenny is the most experienced open water swimmer in the United States, if not the world. Other coaches in the triathlon realm claiming to be "open water experts" do not come close.

    Beginning in 2005, John began to race professionally as a triathlete. Although it took him awhile to develop his cycling skills, he has recently begun to experience more success in multisport events. Aside from winning many swim primes at major races such as 70.3 races and Lifetime Fitness races, John is almost always the first out of the water, even at the highest level of the sport. Now, we works as an open water trainer helping fellow athletes prepare for races and triathlons via the organization Fall Creek Racing.

    Do you ever feel that the days goes by and you spend all your time on what needs to “get done” but have no time left for the things that you feel are actually important. In this week’s podcast, Craig Ballantyne, author of the “The Perfect Day Formula”, will transform you by helping you to discover what is truly important and how to create an empowering and healthful life.

    First, host Rob Dionne, and his wife, Devon Dionne, discuss clean eating and how the 80/20 rule can either be a tool towards a balanced life or used as an excuse to prevent you from achieving what you truly desire. Then, fitness expert to Men’s Health Magazine and co-owner of EarlyToRise.com, Craig Ballantyne gives you simple steps on how to find a sense of internal freedom. Having once been admitted into the hospital for debilitating anxiety attacks, Craig realized he need a huge change in his world. Once he found a sense of internal peace, he wanted to share and bring his knowledge to others. You will learn the skills of how to organize your day and your thoughts to help ease and calm that anxious voice in your head. Ahhh, that sounds nice doesn’t it? Create a perfect day!
