Chef Trevor Budny: The cure to every problem in the world
The Fitness Lab Podcast
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a heated argument, with opponents at each other’s throats with no common ground to be found… Feed them pork belly steam buns.

Food is as close to a magical substance as you can find on this...

Will Schlucter: Kettlebells vs Cystic Fibrosis
The Fitness Lab Podcast
You can learn a lot about a man by the way he shakes your hand. The first time I shook Will Schlucter’s hand, I learned that he could probably break all 27 bones south of my wrist if he really wanted to. It felt a little like sticking my head in a lion’s mouth and knowing it was just being polite by not clamping down. Then he put me through an hour-long kettlebell workout at gym, Will Power Strength and Conditioning, and I figured out how he got that strong. But Will doesn’t just swing kettlebells all day. He’s also skateboards, paddle boards, and competes in Jiu Jitsu tournaments. By...

Mobility coach Nick Perugini wants you to squeeze your butt
The Fitness Lab Podcast
I sit at my desk for at least 8-10 hours a day and it’s killing me. I mean... . So I asked mobility coach Nick Perugini what I could do about it. He told me to squeeze my butt. "I think the easiest thing that you can do is set your alarm for thirty minutes, stand up, and squeeze your butt as hard as you can for five seconds, and do that ten times... I really am a fan of squeezing your butt. It's one of my overused cues, and honestly, I don't care, because I think it's that important that we have the ability to squeeze our butt." It works.

info_outlineI sit at my desk for at least 8-10 hours a day and it’s killing me.
I mean... according to CNN, it's literally killing me.
So I asked mobility coach Nick Perugini what I could do about it.
He told me to squeeze my butt.
"I think the easiest thing that you can do is set your alarm for thirty minutes, stand up, and squeeze your butt as hard as you can for five seconds, and do that ten times... I really am a fan of squeezing your butt. It's one of my overused cues, and honestly, I don't care, because I think it's that important that we have the ability to squeeze our butt."
It works. I don’t know if it’s doing anything to delay my imminent death that CNN has predicted, but it’s really helping my low back feel better and I think it’s unlocking some built up tension I have in my hips.
Of course, that could be the mobility classes I’m doing with Nick every Sunday too.
Nick is a great coach. And in this episode, he shares a lot of good and practical information that you can put to use.
