Hosted by fitness coach and broken-neck survivor David Chesworth, this podcast features conversations with people who push past limits and live fully. David uncovers the habits, mindsets, and motivation behind real Goal Getters chasing meaningful growth.
In this episode, David sits down with author and body-image expert Anne Poirier to explore a simple but profound idea: your body is the vehicle through which you experience your entire life.Every adventure, every relationship, every laugh, every hug, every accomplishment, every meaningful memory... you experience it all through your body.So what happens when we stop viewing our bodies primarily through the lens of how they look and start appreciating them for what they allow us to DO?David and Anne dive into the concept of Body Neutrality, a philosophy Anne has helped popularize through her work and social media. Rather than making body appearance the center of our attention, Body Neutrality encourages us to shift our focus toward what our bodies can do, how they function, and how they allow us to participate in the life we want to live.The conversation also explores the incredible power of self-talk. The thoughts we repeatedly have about ourselves can shape the way we feel, the choices we make, and ultimately the way we experience our lives. David and Anne discuss how we can become more intentional about the thoughts we choose and learn to replace thoughts that don't serve us with ones that do.And, of course, David and Anne talk about her books and the practical tools she has created to help people develop a healthier relationship with their bodies, food, and themselves.Because your body is so much more than what you see in the mirror.It's the vehicle that takes you places.And the better relationship you have with that vehicle, the more fully you can experience the life it carries you through.If you've ever struggled with body image, self-talk, or feeling like your body isn't "good enough," this conversation offers a powerful shift in perspective.Stop asking only, "How does my body look?"Start asking, "Where is my body allowing me to go?"Let's get after it! 😎🔥💪📚 Learn more about Anne and her books:Order Anne Poirier's books on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HHL2FPV1?...

Ep. 5: Maximize Meaningful Memories - Guest: Dr. Michael Brown (DMB)
In this episode, David takes a step back from one of the ideas at the heart of Bucket List Fit: making meaningful memories. What if, in our pursuit of creating great memories, we are actually missing the experience happening right in front of us?We live in a culture that encourages us to document everything, chase bucket-list moments, and constantly think about how an experience will look or feel when we look back on it years from now. But there is a hidden trap in always trying to create memories: we can become so focused on the future version of the moment that we stop fully experiencing the present one.This conversation explores the psychology of happiness, nostalgia, intentional living, and what it really means to be present. Instead of treating life like a highlight reel that needs to be curated, David challenges us to shift our focus from *“Will I remember this?”* to *“Am I actually experiencing this?”*Because meaningful moments do not necessarily become meaningful because we remember them. They become meaningful because we were fully there for them.If you have ever felt pressure to make the most of every moment, create the perfect experience, or constantly add another accomplishment to your highlight reel, this episode offers a different perspective. Sometimes the best way to build a life worth remembering is to stop worrying so much about remembering it.This is a conversation about happiness, presence, perspective, and learning to experience your life instead of constantly documenting it.Let’s get after it! 😎🔥💪

Ep. 4: Dancer, Lifter, HYROX, Runner - Guest: Sara Saubert
In this episode, David sits down with longtime friend and fitness pro Sara Saubert to talk about the many seasons of her athletic journey and how each one helped her become a version of herself she never imagined possible.
Sara’s movement story started in the dance world, but in high school her boyfriend, now husband, introduced her to the gym. That spark led her to pursue exercise science and build a career in fitness. Since then, she has moved through multiple chapters of training, from dance to powerlifting, physique competition, HYROX, and even becoming someone who now enjoys running, something she once avoided completely.
Each phase required her to rebuild her body, challenge old beliefs, and expand what she thought she was capable of physically and mentally. Sara brings a contagious energy to everything she does, and her approach proves that you do not have to be born “built for it” to grow into a stronger, more capable version of yourself.
David first met Sara in 2019 when he hired her as a fitness intern at Hilton Head Health. They have stayed friends and colleagues ever since, making this conversation both personal and inspiring.
This episode is all about growth, identity, and what can happen when you keep saying yes to new challenges. Let’s get after it.
