#99 The FitELITE Podcast - Understanding your Path

Pat and Shane dig into podcast #99 this week and when it comes to understanding our path I can say that this podcast is one of them.  We all have our own path and you should appreciate others....should. Most of the time we are in the middle of the storm when we are on our path but the universe will give us a little glimpse of hope every once in a while to let you know that you are doing good and to keep on going.  The hard part about that is they are not always obvious. Do you know what is obvious is that Dave is going to be joining Pat and Shane for next weeks 100th episode.  Why? Cause I said so!!!

#98 The FitELITE Podcast - When I Grow Up

Pat and Shane are back at it again talking about all the things we want to do once we grow up. It is hard to look at sometimes that at a certain age you have to take responsibility for yourself and dependent on your life path you may be needing to be responsibility for other humans.  Irregardless, No matter what your age is you can always make a change to benefit you or your family or a relationship. It'll take work but if what you are trying to change is important to you the change might be a challenge but it will be worth it in the end.  Dave was unable to goin us today because he had to go refresh his botox and this was the only time they had available for him .

#97 The FitELITE Podcast - Preparation and Recovery

Pat and Dave talk about his recent journey down the back hole, running a 50k in a Spartan  race. That is 32.2 miles-ish and 70 obstacles.  Was Dave physically ready for that kind of work that was being asked of him? No. Was Dave mentally ready to handle the type of work that was being asked of him? No. Did he complete it? Yes he did.  Pat and Dave jump down the rabbit hole and talk about how he got tricked into doing this 50k and what he is currently doing to recover from all the strain that he put upon his body. And also Shane was not with us cause we used him instead to get us coffee.

#96 The FitELITE Podcast - Educating Yourself

Pat and Shane are here today to educate you on how to educate yourself. What does that mean? Well, you have the opportunity to educate yourself in many different ways; cooking, car maintenance, your job, home repair, the sky is the limit. But no matter what you need to keep moving forward.  Education is not only about learning, but it's about keeping the mind and body sharp.  For Shane and I, and I will include Dave in this also, we are all about reading and learning all the things that are important to us. We have found the joy in it and its been an amazing ride, i am proud to say that we push each other and challenge each other and thanks to both of these gentlemen I would not push myself half as hard as I do.

#95 The FitELITE Podcast - High Reps vs. Low Reps

Pat and Shane talk about and hopefully educate you on the understating of High Reps vs. Low  Reps. We all love to workout (most of us), and we all love the 1 RM days, but those should only happen 1-2 times a year per movement. Beyond that if you are looking to build muscle high reps (8-12) should be in your game plan. Other wise if you are looking for maximum output low reps (1-3) should be there.  We dig deep into this conversation on the "WHY" of both of these and the need of both for everybody.  Also Dave could not be with us because he was at a cooking class learning how to create Scotch Eggs.
