The change of season is inspiring Greg to go for the pumpkin-spiced lagers. Fiona and I are always in season with our red wine!
We're talking about ways you can burn extra calories throughout the day without exercise. It's called Non-exercise activity thermogenesis and it is an easy way to get more movement in your day.
NEAT includes things like parking the car at the back of the lot to get extra steps, gardening and housework, puttering around the house or fidgeting. It is hard to quantify NEAT, but over the course of a day it can be an extra 1500 - 2000 calories burned.
So download the podcast and do some housework. You'll learn something and have a clean house!Are you in the Dunnville, Ontario area? Curious about what Grand River CrossFit is all about? Check out our social links and website:

🤣I owe Fiona a really good bottle of wine after our first ever Amazing Race! We're enjoying an Inniskillin Baco Noir, while Greg is starting fall with a seasonal beer.
Our first ever Amazing Race was an absolute blast! We had participants carry a 45lb bumper up and down Lion's hill, learn some local history and attempt to sink baskets. Let's just say that no professional basketball league will be recruiting our members!
Take a look at our social media pages for some of the best video highlights. Save the date! The Amazing Race will be on Saturday September 20, 2025.

Part two of our brain health series!
We're still enjoying the bottle of wine from the previous episode, while Greg is into a dark beer.
In this episode we're talking about foods for brain health. Some of our favourites include fatty fish, blueberries and coffee. Eating whole, unprocessed foods keep both your body and brain young.

We're continuing with our ridiculous, click-bait health studies theme.
This time we're talking about yet another study that vilifies artificial sweeteners.
But first, we've got to talk about the bevies! Fiona and I have a Spanish red and Greg is enjoying Ricard's Red, his favourite house beer.
Back to the artificial sweeteners...
Like the meat study from the last episode, correlation is not causation. Studies that talk about a correlation looks for a relationship between two variables. That being said, just because there is a connection between two variables, it doesn't mean we know which variable causes the other to occur.
In other words, artificial sweeteners are probably not the issue!
Greg is in fine form today. Tae a listen!Are you in the Dunnville, Ontario area? Curious about what Grand River CrossFit is all about? Check out our social links and website:

We're sampling red wine, beer and Tito's Pizza. It's nice to support a local franchise rather than the big boys like Dominos or Pizza Hut.
Health studies that show up on your newsfeed tend to suck. We're discussing another one that vilifies red meat and links it to type 2 diabetes.
We get into what the health study actually means and how to much of a health risk your favourite cut of steak actually is.

We've got a guest on the old podcast! Fiona's son and owner of The Old Fashioned Barbershop, Lee Alford is sharing why he loves running.
But first, we need to introduce our beverages. Fiona and I are enjoying a French red wine and Greg is savouring an English ale. Lee is being the responsible adult and drinking 💧.
We're sharing our favourite races and running moments. Lee's got some classic Lee-isms that might just equal Greg's famous phrases.
Perhaps this podcast will inspire you to find your favourite race.

We're back from our LEAST active vacation ever.
For the record Greg and I don't workout while on holiday. And while we usually opt for active holidays, our tour of Morocco was all about the scenery and culture.
Many people fear that a couple of weeks away from the gym will impact their fitness. Relax! You won't lose your fitness. In fact, a couple of weeks off will give your body a much needed rest.
We share how we get back into our fitness routine as quickly as possible.
There are a few TMI moments and Greg is in fine form with some classic Gregisms.

This episode has an "E" for explicit because Greg has to quote one of Francis Ford Coppola's most famous Vietnam movie.
In addition to classic movies, Mr. Coppola produces a delicious red wine. Greg is visiting Calabogie Ontario for his beer choice.
We're talking about processed foods. It is almost impossible to avoid processed foods. When was the last time you made your own yogurt? Probably never.
You can eat healthy and still consume processed foods. From canned and frozen veggies to tomato paste, bread, pasta and oatmeal, there are processed foods that are the building blocks of home cooking.
We talk about the good and the not-so-good processed foods.

Oh, how we love a good diet myth or two!

Rx'd is a measure, but not necessarily your measure of a successful workout.
Every week you will come across a workout where you can rx'd one element or no elements of a workout. Does that mean you scale an entire workout when there is one element out of reach?
The rx'd standard of a workout is like a pin on a map. It's the goal destination, but there are many ways to get there.
