16 – What’s the Big Deal with the Biggest Loser?

We discuss recent as well as some older articles and studies about The Biggest Loser, including issues with metabolism, the framing of how weight loss happens, and some of the more pervasive effects of representing weight loss in the media. Scott also discusses some of the things he knows athletes would do to lose weight from his experiences in the competition.

15 – Training and Traveling? Enter “Programmus Interruptus”

Scott and Mike discuss a strategy for training and traveling: <a href="https://scottabelfitness.com/interrupt">“Programmus Interruptus”</a> Visit <a href="https://scottabelfitness.com/interrupt">scottabelfitness.com/interrupt</a> for a detailed written breakdown of what we’re talking about, plus a video demo. The main idea is, if you're traveling and need to substitute in a workout in your hotel room (or what-have-you), you can stay flexible by mixing whole body training with some bodypart emphasis. This way, you might, for example, replace your shoulder workout with a whole body workout that has a shoulder emphasis… but if you miss a day or two (because you're traveling and things are up in the air) it's not as though you've neglected the rest of your body. You've still kept things “stimulated.”

14 – Lou Schuler on Fitness & Writing

Mike is joined by Lou Schuler to discuss some of the larger trends in fitness, as well as how to avoid saying the same things over again in fitness writing. Mike wanted to talk to Lou to talk about fitness writing because Lou — an award-wining journalist — has been fitness editor of Men’s Fitness, and, later, Men’s Health, and he’s written a bunch of well-known books in the industry, including the New Rules of Lifting Series with Alwyn Cosgrove, as well as a bunch of others you’d recognize. Mike and Lou also discussed Ruth Engs' <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_living_movement">Clean Living Movements </a>(read more in this <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/19/health/books-on-health-book-maps-a-nation-s-spurts-of-clean-living.html">New York Times discussion of Engs' book</a> (http://bit.ly/cln_living) as as well as some relevant history of the <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/08/165961/graham-cracker-history-origins">Graham cracker at Refinery29</a> (http://bit.ly/grm_crkr)). – – – If you do have a career in fitness and are looking to grow, be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.kcfitnesssummit.com/">KC Fitness Summit</a> (<a href="http://kcfitnesssummit.com/">http://kcfitnesssummit.com/</a>) during the first weekend in May.
