D&D Fitness Radio Podcast

In Episode 010 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we are thrilled to have “Gotham” actor, Drew Powell, on board. Drew has been training with Don Saladino at Drive495 for the past year, making changes to both his body and his attitudes around diet and exercise. We talk about Drew’s integration into the Drive family and how he looks forward to the training sessions that focus on all aspects of strength, power and general fitness. Drew has certainly developed a love for training and has changed the way he prepares for roles both physically and mentally. Drew Powell has been involved in the entertainment business through acting, singing and creating since his college days. His television acting career started with “Malcolm in the Middle” in 2000-2001, followed by a role in the “Bonanza” prequel “Ponderosa”, playing a young “Hoss” Cartright. Drew's feature films include Starship Troopers 2, The Marine, Mexican Sunrise and 1408 with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. In between, he has done several national commercials and has guest starred on shows such as Popular, CSI and Monk. Drew recently received rave reviews for his portrayal of Paul, the lonely troubadour in a monologue show "Skirts and Flirts" at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre in LA. Powell has also had guest appearances on numerous television shows including: Ray Donovan, Modern Family, True Blood, House, Leverage, ER, and Grey's Anatomy. He also recurred as FBI Agent Reede Smith, one of the 7 Red John suspects on The Mentalist.More information on Drew’s television series “Gotham” can be found at:https://www.fox.com/gothamYou can follow Drew Powell via the following channels:http://drewpowell.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realdrewpowell/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thedrewpowellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drewpowellfans/The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

In Episode 009, we record our session directly from the 2018 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. All 32 of the NFL's teams are in Indianapolis to assess and evaluate potential draft picks for the 2018 season. Not only are teams looking at the physical abilities of athletes, but also their cognitive abilities, overall health, psychological profiles and their ability to handle the pressure of being in one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports in the world. It's an extremely high stress environment where athletes and executives are under a lot of pressure to perform - whether that means performing well in their tests, or choosing the right players to enhance the team for 2018 and beyond.Don Saladino and Derek Hansen discuss the parallels with the training and fitness requirements of people who are not competing for a NFL roster spot. Talent and physical ability is important, but we should not discount the value of attitude, discipline and character in the process of achieving health and fitness goals. While we would all like to train like professional athletes, we cannot hope to improve unless we adjust our mindset around fitness, health and exercise.The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

Continuing along the theme of exploring the basics and developing foundational qualities for performance, health, fitness and wellness, Don Saladino and Derek Hansen sit down with Dr. Belisa Vranich to discuss the importance of and the biomechanics of proper breathing. While some people may consider breathing a natural activity that we shouldn't have to learn, Dr. Belisa identifies the key elements of breathing that may not be present in our daily routines. The stress of life has created a situation where our nervous systems have become accustomed to thriving in a sympathetic and exhausted state. This trend has spawned a greater incidence of anxiety, depression, chronic pain and fatigue that plagues modern society. Dr. Belisa identifies strategies for facilitating recovery and regeneration through biomechanically appropriate breathing techniques and protocols.Dr. Belisa Vranich is a renowned clinical psychologist, public speaker, and the author of Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve your Mental and Physical Health (St. Martin’s Press/Hay House).
