ALL EPISODES

Summer is coming! Its time to shed the Dad bod and get ready for the beach! I am celebrating today because I met my goal this morning for my own weight loss. I have lost 17 pounds since March 10, 2022 going from 191 pounds down to 174 pounds. After a winter of trying to increase my weightlifting strength (and not being very disciplined in my diet) I want to weigh less so that I can focus more on running. I used an app called The Carbon App to track all of my eating habits and keep control of my intake of food.

I am not here to tell you which diet is best for you but rather how you can make whatever diet that you and your nutritionist or dietician have determined will be your plan. Apps can help you to track your food intake to keep you on track to reach your goal. The Carbon app goes a few steps further to make suggestions and create a plan for you based on the type of diet you select; Balanced, Reduced Carb, Low Fat, Plant Based or Ketogenic, and allow you to track everything that you eat or drink. Keeping track of your food is like having a speedometer. You know exactly where you are and how much you can eat while staying on track to your goals.

I often get asked how to eat healthy and stay in good shape while traveling. We have gone over this a few times on the podcast, but I get a little more specific in this episode with a chicken salad recipe that I often turn to when I’m traveling. If I am able to make this, I can avoid just eating whatever is around or overeating. Do you have any specific meals that you use when traveling to help you stay on track?

This week we answer a listener question about how to get in shape for poling a skiff. We go over specific workouts and movements, as well as workouts and stretches that you can do to prevent injury. If you are a guide, you might be poling 300+ days a year, and it is extremely important to be in shape, and prevent injury that could keep you off the water, or permanently injure you long term. Do you have a question if your own? Text it to me 305-930-7346rrr

The hardest part of anybody’s fitness journey is usually getting started. It takes motivation to go to the gym for the first time, to go for your first run, or do push ups for the first time. But I can tell you from personal experience that once you take that leap and just start, it always comes together. You can apply this to many things in life as well. In fact, that’s exactly how I started this podcast. I had no idea what I was doing, but I just decided to start one day and that has lead to over 600 episodes and counting. How have you overcome excuses to start working out? Text me and let me know 305-930-7346

This week we are talking about one of my biggest motivators for my fitness journey. The group that I work out with is a huge part of why I am so passionate about fitness. They hold me accountable and we always have a great time together. I guarantee you that there is a good group around you that you can get involved with. If there isn’t, do what I did and start your own. We started small but now we have a dedicated group that works out every day, even when I am out of town. Need help starting your fitness journey? Shoot me a text and I can help 305-930-7346

Last week we talked about a fitness game using the Masters golf tournament. This week we are talking about a game that goes off of march madness. Basically we use a bracket and instead of teams, there are workout options. In this episode I go through exactly how it works and how you can make this as easy or as hard of a workout as you want. This is a great one to do especially in groups. Do you have a fitness game of your own? Text me and let me know about it 305-930-7346

This week on Physical Friday we are talking about creating games to make your workouts more interesting. We have used a deck of cards and dice to create awesome workouts but could we take inspiration from recent sporting events to create others? How about Golf or maybe March Madness? Yep… sure can!

We go over one that my friend Rick Hart gave me that about recently that uses the concept of golf to create a workout. With The Masters being last weekend I figured this would be a good one to try out.

In the podcast we go over how to create this workout, how the scoring works, and how you could make 1000s more like this one with no equipment or with a full gym.

Next week we are going over how to create a fitness game out of a March Madness bracket, so be sure to subscribe to be notified when that comes out!

EMOM a means Every minute on the minute. Lately I have been using a lot of EMOM workouts through the HWPO program by 5x CrossFit Games World Champion Mat Fraser.

There is a huge variety of workouts that you can do with EMOM and I go through a few different options in this episode of how May is programming them and some ideas on how you can create your own. Do you have an EMOM workout that you love? Text me your ideas 305-930-7346

Frequent travel has made me become creative with workouts. I have seen all kinds of hotel gyms from fully stocked ones in Las Vegas to a closet with a broken treadmill and 4 dumbbells. Today I’ll go over a few workouts you can do in even the worst gym. Keep these with you and try them when in need.

I want to see who has the absolute worst travel gym experience. Think you have the worst one? Text me a picture at 305-930-7346

People often talk about your physical diet, but I think your mental diet is just as important, meaning what you take into your brain on a daily basis. This can be things like the news, social media, books you read, etc. A few years ago I decided to change up what I was taking in every day, and to try and only make it positive things. I completely stopped following the news, and I try and only follow positive accounts on social media. Do you think that a mental diet would be good for you? Try it for a week and see how you feel.

So many of us do so well when we are at home and on a regular schedule. Throw in some meetings or kids athletic events or TRAVEL and it is easy to miss a workout. That miss can turn into 2,3,4 days. The next thing you know it has been over a week since you worked out and the old habits return. I do the best by never missing a day. This doesn’t mean that I always have time for a 2 hour workout. NO WAY! However, I try to always get SOMETHING in…even if it is only a 10 minute workout.

This week on Physical Friday I go over 6 workouts that you can do in 10 minutes or less. These workouts won’t get you in incredible shape, but they are good to do when you are traveling, or if you have that occasional day where you don’t have time to get a full workout in. These are not meant as everyday workouts, but just as a filler when you need it to maintain fitness and to STAY ON TRACK!

Do you have any workouts to add to this list? Text me and let me know 305-930-7346

Well it’s official, I will not be competing in the Crossfit Games this year. In this episode I go through exactly why I won’t be competing, what led to this decision, and my plans going forward. We also talk about how decisions like these apply to life in general. Are you competing in the games this year? I will still be following them closely and cheering my friends and listeners on!

We had Mike Larkin on the podcast a few weeks ago to go over a How 2 Tuesday about buying a boat, and Mike also had some questions about fitness. The main question that Mike had, was that as he is getting older, what can he do to stay in shape and healthy enough to do whatever activities and trips that he wants. This is exactly why we have Physical Friday episodes!!!In this episode we go through some good habits with eating, exercise, and stretching that will put you on your way to fishing when you are 95! If you have any questions like Mike did, shoot me a text 305-930-7346

We are officially in the last week of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I have had a lot of people already send me their completed sheets, but more importantly we have helped Captains for Clean Water in the fight for Florida’s water quality. If you have completed the 10,000 pushup challenge, congratulations! We have a certificate for all that have completed and you can accept your certificate at the link here: https://tomrowlandpodcast.com/blog/577

We are officially on week 3 of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I was able to wrap mine up in 10 days but I am still participating in what is the most important of the challenge, awareness for Florida’s clean water. In this episode we talk about Senate Bill 2508, what it means for our waters, and what we can do to fight it. We also go over the strategy that I used to knock out all my pushups, by doing 20 every minute on the minute.

Happy Friday everyone! We are officially in week 2 of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I wanted to take this podcast to remind you that it is not too late to get others involved! Even if someone just joins you for a day, or even just a few reps. This challenge is all about awareness for Florida water quality with help from our friends at Captains For Clean Water. This week we actually had our first opportunity to stand up for clean water. You can see all of those details and sign the petition at https://captainsforcleanwater.org/urgent-sign-our-petition/

The 10,000 pushup challenge has officially started! I have been loving seeing everyone involved on social media so keep it up! This week we are going over a good way to get your pushups in by keeping it fun and spreading it out throughout the day. I use a deck of cards for fitness all the time, and I have found a good way to use them for the pushup challenge as well. You can place cards around the house and do your pushups as you find them throughout the day. Get creative with it! To get your pushup spreadsheet, go to tomrowlandpodcast.com/pushups

This past week I had the chance to do a workout with world champion WWE wrestler and founder of DDP Yoga, Diamond Dallas Page. During our workout he walked me through a 30 second pushup. The challenge for this episode is to complete 5 of these. It is much more difficult than it sounds. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast because we have our full episode with DDP coming soon!
