In this episode, I sit down with Preslie Hirsch (@heypreslie), CrossFit Coach, Nutrition Coach, Podcast Host, and now spearheading HWPO's marketing! We discuss why "it's cool to care about the Open." Preslie discusses her journey in weightlifting and overcoming an elbow injury. How her background as an athlete, playing competitive volleyball, led to bodybuilding and stepping on stage.

Preslie shares her insights on nutrition and how it is crucial to fuel your body with the right foods to achieve optimal performance. Preslie shares some of her favourite meal prep hacks, including cooking in bulk, using a slow cooker, and prepping ingredients. She also emphasizes the importance of keeping it simple and finding easy-to-make meals that fit your lifestyle.

Preslie discusses her experience with injuries and how she overcame them by focusing on what she could do instead of what she couldn't. She stresses the importance of listening to your body, seeking proper medical attention, and finding alternative exercises to stay active during recovery.

Schedule an Intro: https://liveactiveclt.com/book-now/

We’ve only recently started to “feel” our age. Early 30s just hit different. So, we’re doing something about it and starting to get active again.

On this episode Samantha and Daniel discuss starting CrossFit, what it’s been like in their first month, and how the decision to join the CrossFit Open affected them.

The CrossFit Open begins this week, and we’re excited to have one of the best CrossFitters on the planet join us on the podcast – Noah Ohlsen. Noah won the Open in 2016 and has been a perennial contender in the CrossFit Games for years, finishing 2nd at the Games in 2019. He sits down with our resident CrossFit expert Mike Lombardi for a discussion that covers everything from overcoming disappointment, the power of a positive mindset, and understanding what’s really important as you pursue your goals in sport and in life. Noah details his goals in sport (2:17), his journey to CrossFit (6:43), getting to the CrossFit Games (9:24), pursuing his dream of a championship (11:29), why it's important to enjoy the process (13:49), reframing your training mindset (18:50), overcoming injury and disappointment (27:38), how the WHOOP Podcast inspired him to rethink his mental performance (29:25), and how he uses WHOOP in his day-to-day life (35:14).

Haley Adams won CrossFit’s teen division in 2018, and said then that she would win the CrossFit Games within 5 years. Since moving up to the adult division two years ago, she has turned in 6th and 4th place finishes at the Games and is looking for an even stronger performance this year. She joins the WHOOP Podcast to detail her journey to the top of the sport, how she thinks about performance, and why she tries to help girls who are getting into CrossFit. Haley sits down with Mike Lombardi to talk about finding success in CrossFit at a young age (2:05), switching from gymnastics to CrossFit (3:12), how different workouts affect your recovery (6:17), being a role model for the next generation of athletes (10:16), overcoming low recoveries (14:52), eating before bed (16:33), training and sleep (19:02), where she finds her inspiration (20:25), competing against her idols (21:37), and the new era of CrossFit (24:25).

Katharine and Dave take a look at the results from the CrossFit Quarterfinals and discuss how some of the big names did, and if the results are news that we should be paying attention to, or nonsense we can forget.
