Special Edition - The Coronavirus Chronicles 3/30/2020 - 4/5/2020

I can't believe we're already in April and three weeks of tighter restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Hopefully all of you are still safe and managing whatever your new life looks like right now. I've received some great feedback from some listeners and the most consistent thing is that it's good to hear how others are coping right now. That's all that these episodes are...just a short insight into how I'm managing day-to-day. Maybe it's helping me more than anyone though. Hang in there!  

Special Edition - The Coronavirus Chronicles 3/23/2020 - 3/29/2020

I hope this finds everyone doing  as well as you possibly can both mentally and physically. Each one of us is going through something different at this very moment. You or someone you know has lost a loved one to the virus, maybe you've lost your income, it's possible you're not impacted at all (somehow).  Whatever the situation you find yourself in know that we're all in this together. Here's series two of The Coronavirus Chronicles which covers 3/23-3/29. It's just me sharing my thoughts as I go through "the new norm".  

Special Edition - The Coronavirus Chronicles 3/17/2020 - 3/22/2020

Hey folks, 

What a strange time we're in. As of 3/16/2020 all gym and fitness centers were closed in Cincinnati, OH. I'm chronicling my days since the closure...mostly to share my thoughts, fears, etc. but more importantly to say we're in this together. All of us are going through this in our own ways...some with less, some with more but all at the same time. 

Expect a weekly edition since I have the time.  Stay safe out there. 

Episode 161 Eric Feigl - My favorite fitness & health apps

Just a quick one to share my favorite and most used fitness and health apps. If you're like me and enjoy tracking different areas of your fitness and health then this episode is for you. These apps I use either daily, weekly, and occasionally hourly. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's necessary (or healthy) to track like crazy then take those results as gospel. Instead treat the results as a marker to improve on areas the best you can knowing that there is always give and take depending on your goals. I go into more detail about what I like and dislike in a couple of the apps.
