#132 How To Get in The Book Of Guinness World Records
We got into the Guinness Book of Records (also Blue Peter) and we're here to show you how.
While the majority of us were learning how to bake, during the 2020 lockdown Jason set himself an ambitious goal: to break a record.
The action sports athlete combined hard work with out-of-the-box thinking to create a new challenge of unicycling while simultaneously lifting a barbell.
He broke the record for heaviest single weight lifted by barbell overhead press while riding a unicycle by lifting an incredible 68 kg (149.9 lb) in April 2021, after eight weeks of continuous training for five days a week.
Now a proud representative of Guinness World Records 2023, thanks to Rod's magnificent photograph, which was also featured all over the press.
“The book is kind of part of the fabric of our culture, really, as I think everyone has memories of the Guinness World Records as a kid at Christmas.
“And to be a very small part of that, it feels a lot more meaningful than just breaking the record itself – that was very humbling, for one, and a real honour to be part of it.”
He said that as a child, the unconventional records stood out to him “a little bit more”.
“That would catch my eye and it probably has influenced me in some way, shape or form, and I cannot believe it is still relevant,” he said.

#131 The Best Martial Arts For Fitness
Martial arts aren’t just a great way to get in shape; they can also help improve your self confidence and mindfulness, and introduce you to new cultures and friends. Many lessons taught in martial arts apply to other aspects of life.
We discuss the impact that film and television has had on introducing people to martial arts.
We look at the article from Medium.com on the 6 best martial arts for fitness: (https://medium.com/violence-examiner/6-best-martial-arts-for-fitness-34837e3a0355)
Capoeira
Taekwondo
Karate
Escrima
Wing Chun
Tai Chi
We talk about our own experience with Boxing, Kick Boxing and Rod's 20 year practise of Capoeira.
We ask, which Martial Art can you eat a burger while doing? Which can you River Dance while doing?
And we end with, who would win these fantasy fights? Including Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali.

#131 The Worst Episode Ever with Dan Scott
#131 is easily the worst thing we've ever put out.
Although it's been censored, it is explicit, mainly thanks to our guest Dan Scott of Clan Fit Edinburgh, so please don't listen if you're sensitive to mature, crude and expletive riddled conversation.
We try our best to play a couple of fitness related games. Sometimes your best isn't good enough. We use our predictive text suggestions to answer some of the most pressing health & fitness questions.
We abandon that due to poor results and move on to play a vague version of Room 101, where two of us propose one thing about the fitness industry we wish to banish for eternity and the other decides which deserves the boot.
Get in touch if you want our predictive text suggestions to answer your questions by DMing us on Instagram; @JustTheFitnessTip @JasonProUnicyclist @Rod_Penn
