3x Crossfit Games Athlete Justin Lasala - The Unprepared Podcast May 07, 2020

Show notes

This week on Unprepared we talk to 3x CrossFit Games athlete and current 2nd fittest 45-49 year old Justin Lasala. Maybe more impressive than his resume is the lethal combination of humility and confidence, both of which he'll use to beat you one way or the other and then promptly move onto the next event without worrying about past results. We think you can learn a lot from Justin and what it takes to be as successful as he's been, we certainly did.

Optimizing While Working From Home - The Misfit Project E45 Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

After about a month of quarantine, most of us have been relegated to working from home or just... at home. With the loss of a routine comes an amplified effect of the little things we've taken for granted: having a dedicated workspace that isn't your home, a commute of some sort that requires exposure to the outdoors, and some non-exercise movement, and general inactivity to name a few. Today's episode is about thinking about ways to break out of the quarantine funk to try and restore some normalcy to your daily and weekly routine

FLASHBACK EPISODE - 5 Ways to Use Summer to Improve Your Health - The Misfit Project E21 Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is very much about getting back to basics and using this great weather to entice some extremely healthy situations. Summer gives us an opportunity to clear out the distractions and spend some meaningful time outside with the people we enjoy. It can be a real battle to avoid the technology that pulls us away from each other in the colder months, but there’s nothing better than taking your meals out to a deck or picnic table to remember why we chose to surround ourselves with these people in the first place. Not to mention how much easier it is to make some great tasting AND nutrient dense food with the grill being back in play for most of us. With our relationships easily improved by such a simple concept, we can move on to bolster our ability to use the sun to set our body clocks. Building on morning sunshine with outdoor activity to help tire us out and then spending that time outside in the evening is a recipe for a lovely exhaustion and melatonin cocktail.

The great outdoors, or whatever your comfort zone allows, is a great place to learn how to meditate for a bunch of reasons mentioned in the podcast. We can also take a new approach to mindfulness for the type A personality just by getting out there for a nice long walk. A staggering amount of the great thinkers of our time built their robust mental reserves through a lot of walking. Last but certainly not least is the significantly improved ability to take our movement practice outside. Think of how many of the previous “boxes” mentioned check themselves off when we take our fitness into the sunshine.

We hope you enjoy this back to basics check-in on the fundamentals of the Misfit Project.

MFT 2000: A look into Misfit History Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

After 2000+ daily blog posts, we've learned a lot (to say the least). To celebrate this milestone we've asked some Misfit athlete friends of ours to reflect on some of their fondest memories of their time with Misfit. The Misfit HQ coaches also chime in about the past 10+ years of being Misfits.
We hope you all enjoy, and thanks for being Misfits.

FLASHBACK EPISODE: Intermittent Fasting - The Misfit Project Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Originally aired Jan 2018, Episode 10 of the Misfit Project covered the topic of Intermittent Fasting.
"This week on The Misfit Project we break down the science, benefits, and how-to of intermittent fasting. Digging through the research was a very eye-opening experience in regards to the consistency of results. The scientific method is all about reproducing results to ensure your study wasn’t an anomaly. Study after study cited weight loss, decreased blood glucose, stress reduction, improved gut health, lowered blood pressure, decreased heart disease risk, and the list goes on.

The benefits are undoubtedly there, and we explain the science behind them in the podcast in a style that we hope gets the point across without putting you to sleep. That being said there’s also the intuitive piece of understanding how it specifically works for you and that concept is all about giving your body a break. When you fast, you’re allowing your body to fully digest, to clean out old junky cells, and to starve off the gut bugs that try to tell you sugar is your only path to happiness. We evolved in true periods of feast and famine, and that style of eating is our link to hacking the system and using those periods of famine to our advantage.

The goal of stating the benefits and concepts behind this is pure motivation. We hope that it’s enough to nudge you into finding a fasting schedule that can work for you and your goals. As always try to stack the deck in your favor when you begin. Start somewhere that makes sense for YOU, instead of diving in blindly and falling off the wagon when your willpower runs out.

We wish you all of the luck in the world as you attempt to make this part of your routine. And as always: Don’t talk about it. Be about it."
