Girls Gone WOD Podcast

Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2018 in our favorite way: with a classic J&C episode. This week we recap our holidays, and then get to work setting some intentions for 2018. We talk about the process of growing out of certain habits and into others, and why some types of goals don’t work for everyone. And we read some amazing answers to the question “what hilarious things did you believe to be true when you were a kid?” Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

So long, 2017! Before we dive in 2018, we are recalling what we learned this year, how the Year of Yes evolved, how our mindset about dieting and exercise has continued to grow, and what we’re ready to leave behind as we go into the new year. Claire also catches everyone up about the big news she subtly mentioned last week, and talks about what’s next for her. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for: BOB HARPER + GGW! Bob joins the show this week to talk about his new book: The Super Carb Diet BUY BOB’S BOOK HERE! The interview with Bob is everything we dreamed of and more. He talks about his heart attack and how this difficult experience shaped his outlook on life (it truly is a miracle he survived). We discuss what it was like coming back to working out after such a traumatic health scare (his pup Karl was his walking workout buddy). Bob shares his inspiration behind his new book and why he thinks The Super Carb Diet is the reset we all need. Please leave us a review on iTunes!!

It’s just us this week, and we get started by reading some of your amazing first kiss stories that you sent in (hint: the title of this podcast comes from our favorite first kiss one-liner). We discuss Weight Watchers’ latest “free” foods list, talk about saying no and how to deal with food pushers, get real about stress in our lives, and have our annual conversation about what to get Scott for Christmas. Seriously, taking suggestions. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes! Sponsored by The Good Kitchen discount code GGW Please leave us a review on iTunes!!

This week we welcome Craig Ballantyne to the podcast, and immediately dive in like old friends! Craig is a Productivity & Success Transformation Coach from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the author of The Perfect Day Formula: How to Own the Day and Control Your Life and The Great Cardio Myth. We learn a little bit about Craig’s background as a trainer and fitness nerd, and how his commitment to efficiency has made him into a successful business coach, as well as an advocate for ditching the low-and-slow cardio mindset. Craig explains how to get started with “Owning Your Day,” even if you’re a working mom with a toddler who feels like there is no hope (cough cough), and gives us some insider info that might convince you once and for all to never step on an elliptical again.

Happy Thanksgiving GGW Fam! This week we recap our yearly Thanksgiving traditions (cranberry Jell-O “salad” for Joy’s dad, sweet potatoes with marshmallows for John Hay), and then take a slightly ridiculous trip down memory lane discussing first kisses, first dates, and prom. This episode is a little bit silly and is definitely best enjoyed while full of turkey, gravy, and pie! Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

Margaux Alvarez joins us again this week (check out Ep. 157 for her first GGW appearance!) to catch up on life, wine, and CrossFit–all our favorite things! Margaux has been working hard over the past year to grow her family’s Utah-based wine business, and we discuss how that has affected her training, how it’s changed the way she thinks about fitness, and why it’s been important to her to have something in her life besides just competitive CrossFit.

This week is about empowerment and talking about what holds us back, balanced with some this-or-that and a trip down memory lane to some of Claire’s old (like really old) blog posts. Not only has a lot has changed since Claire was 24 writing about how she wanted to be a yoga instructor, but lots of growth is going on in the GGW world right now and we’re bringing you along for the ride!

Being an adult is hard you guys. Thank God for instagram stories where we have been living for the past few weeks with ‘would you rathers’ for your voting button enjoyment. This week on the podcast we start on the serious side talking about Claire’s stressful phase of life and Joy trying to talk her through it. Then we dive in to the epic ‘would you rathers’ and discuss important topics such as which reality show you would want to be on, or which dancing with the stars partner you’d want to have. It’s all very important and necessary because there is no such thing as life balance and when have we ever claimed to be the poster children of balance? Never. Enjoy this episode we love you.

Julie Foucher is known throughout the CrossFit community for her two CrossFit Games podium finishes, but also her amazing ability to prioritize and balance med school, training, and family life. This week we talk to Julie about health: how her definition of health changed when she started CrossFit, how that informs her work as a physician, what big-picture health looks and feels like to her, and how to talk to people in your life who need a nudge towards finding healthy habits. We also talk about the difference between external and internal motivators, and how to cope when life keeps you out of the gym for days or weeks at a time. Support the podcast!

Marcus Filly has been competing in CrossFit since the beginning. A 6x Games athlete, he remembers the days when working out once a day was enough to get you there, and this week we talk to him about the evolution of CrossFit as the gap between Games athletes and “Average Joes” has continued to expand. Marcus tells us what his prescription for an “average” athlete seeking lifelong fitness would be (hint: you need to get out of the gym every once in a while), and we talk about why (and how) he’s establishing a gym culture where it’s not just all about group training. Check out his training program, Revival Strength. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes! Please leave us a review on iTunes!!

Another J&C episode this week, full of very important information about the merits of crispy chicken skin, how to cope with the man flu, and why finding motivation to workout on your own is more of a unicorn than Scott is. We also talk about the Girls Gone Rx competition last week, Claire’s synesthesia, and wine. It gets a little random in the best way possible. I think this episode will become an instant GGW Classic!
