The Health & Fitness Podcast, By Innerfight

15 years ago there was no “box”, you walked into gyms and nobody smiled at you or knew your name. CrossFit was a huge force behind breaking that down. At these challenging times lets also remember the good times that this brand has given us all, the lives it has changed and the livelihoods it has created. We do not agree or support the recent comments of the CEO of CrossFit, however in this show we remember the good times and talk about how the future may look. I am sure this is not the last time we will discuss this topic on the show.

Dhiren Harchandani is an entrepreneur, a transformative coach, a consultant, an author, a keynote speaker, and Most of All, A teacher. He bridges his experience to actionable outcomes that drive meaningful results. He is a balance of inspiring and practical, thought-provoking and result-focused, fun and impactful! In this show Dhiren shares with us some super personal experiences that have led him to follow a life of “essentialism” and in doing so he explains the key tools that he uses in his life to make it better. Dhiren does not believe that everyone has to experience rock bottom to live their best life, however if they start to take conscious action today they can have everything they want in life. Enjoy the show. Marcus Connect with Dhiren: https://www.instagram.com/dhirenharchandani/?hl=en https://dhirenharchandani.com/

Is “Fit Bit” the “OG” of fitness wearables? What did they start? For tracking steps to tracking deep sleep. Where are we at with fitness wearables theses days? In this show we talk about the various brands of fitness wearables, what they do, what you can do with the data, why they are useful or if they cause additional stress and anxiety. You know if you have slept well right? Do you need something around your wrist and linked to an app to confirm that? Insta: You know if you have slept well or not don’t you? Or do you need a “fitness wearable” around your wrist that is connected to an app to confirm things for you. Tune in to todays show as we talk everything from the OG of fitness wearables to whats on the market and making big waves at the moment.

As we emerge from lockdown and people restart their outdoor fitness we have seen an insane amount of people running. They are running for all the same reasons that it is the most powerful tool we have but they may not know it. Last weekend I gave this talk to a group in the UK and was asked on social media to share the talk, we have gone one better and I recorded the talk again as a podcast for you guys. I am sure the show will resonate with many of you. Are you a 1, 2 or 3 when it comes to running? Enjoy the show. Marcus

Is this or isn’t it the million dollar question right now. In fact between the time of recording or publishing this show gyms in Dubai and or around the world may have opened. Some have already. But what does it look like? Are we running or wanting to run back to new gyms because we are missing our gym buddies? Are we excited about working out with all the new restrictions that may or may not be enforced? Or are we pretty happy wit working out at home and the results we have got from that over the last 12 weeks? All of these questions answered for you in this show and for sure a few more thoughts provoked as to what you workout, how you enjoy working out and what working out may be for you in the short term and longer term. Thanks for listening to the show. Marcus

From the power of sport to the power of music, finding your flow and knowing that fitness is the cure this was another epic InnerTalks! InnerTalks is a concept we started in 2015 where people from various walks of lives and industries with various life experiences share something with us. Genuine stories that in themselves just inspire. Wolfi, Andrea, Rasha and Dia did an incredible job at inspiring us in this edition of the talks and we hope you enjoy listening. Thanks.

Hanan Wehbi was on our show in 2014 and although it has taken us 6 years to get her back on she is still as valuable as ever. In this show we talk all things from distractions to looking good naked before Hanan drops us an absolute beauty as she says we can solve many problems by just removing emotions. It is always amazing to chat to Hanan as she has so many thought provoking thoughts and delivers them in such a unique way. This conversation (as many podcasts are) was the result of a few whatsapp’s and 48 hours later we were recording. Thank you Hanan for your time. Enjoy the show folks.

The world never stopped spinning but everything ground to a halt almost like a large ship coming to a stand still. We all knew things would start to move again but no one knew nor does really know what is going to happen next. In this show I talk about data and the fact that in the last year I have read several articles about data theft and peoples fear of who is listening to their phones but when I asked people if they would use a data tracking app to cure Corona the majority said yes. We have also heard rumors about a vaccine becoming available within 12-18 months, however it normally takes around 10 years to develop a vaccine, would you be keen to be one of the first to have a shot? And then for all the positive impact we have seen on the environment lately there is a legit fear as increased hygiene seems to mean increased plastic so are we better staying home? Enjoy the show!

He awoke 7 weeks later missing a large portion of his skull and facing medical discharge from the Armed Forces and of course now a disability that would change his life forever.” In this show David shares with us some valuable tools on dealing with adversity as he opens up about some pretty raw parts of his life in the hope that he can help other people who may be in similar situations.

Every Sunday InnerFight Endurance hold “Sunday Sessions” which is an hour chat about life, races and adventures. Last week I joined Tom Walker to chat about our ride across the Wahiba Desert on Fat Bikes in 2018. I got my first taste for Wahiba back in 2014 and have since run across this 145km baron land and ridden a fat bike over it. It is truly a unique place, you don’t see anyone, the sand is soft, the sun is hot and the dunes just keep rolling. In this show we talk about the joy of adventure, of just doing something with some mates and having a great time whilst at the same time pushing our bodies and minds. Thanks for listening, enjoy the show.

"Well here is abit about me, my name is Andrew Phillips and im 37 years old. I’m an ultra runner and an all around fitness guy who’s been involved in every aspect of fitness from golf, triathlons, swimming, trail and road races, CrossFit and strength training. I suffered with anxiety from a young age for roughly about 20+ years from as far back as primary school. 7 years ago I had a total mental break down to the point I couldn’t leave the house and if I did I couldn’t leave praa sands where I lived, where this went on for a good 6 months. This was only a small part of what I went through, getting back out into the real world was the hardest challenge almost like climbing a mountain that never ended. This journey wasn’t done alone I also needed my own coach to get me through it, and this is what I would like to give back to people because recovery can sometimes be a long road back. I was also stuck in a domestic abusive relationship which made everything so much worse as I was completely trapped.” If th

With so many events cancelled, things that we have been working towards for weeks month or even years may have no new date for us to aim for. This in itself has thrown may of us into total meltdown. But why when we hear from so many motivational experts phrases like: “process not outcome” or “journey not destination” are we still freaking out? My personal view is that this is a great time, a time to practice being more present and more conscious and opportunity to create an insane amount of focus in many areas of out life and a big area being out training. I hope that you get some value from the show. Stay home stay safe and remember #fitnessisthecure

Most of the news we get these days around COVID 19 is not great sadly, its new cases and new deaths. Well I want to break that and bring you some good news from a friend of mine Shane who has had COVID 19 and as you will hear in this show had it majorly and is now telling his story in the hope that others will #stayhome and take this virus seriously. Shane is not in what we are reading as the high risk category for COVID 19, he is mid 40’s, fit and happy. However as he says this virus does not discriminate at all and it got him. He speaks openly about his experiences and certainly gives us a lot to think about. He has also got worldwide coverage on his fight with the virus which started with this Facebook video to let friends and family know where he was!

Welcome to InnerTalks 19 and our first “online” talk where we bring 4 speakers that have all spoken at InnerTalks before back in 2015 back to the stage. Tom, James, Tom and Shadi all have very different stories and all served up so much that we can take away and action in our lives pretty much right away. Thanks to everyone that joined us live for the event and thanks too you guys for listening to the podcast.

If you live in Dubai then Kris Fade is certainly a name that you would know….the man behind the Virgin Radio breakfast show. If you don’t live in Dubai and to give this show some context Kris Fade moved to Dubai just over 10 years ago on a "whim and a prayer.” Since then with his team of presenters he has built the biggest breakfast radio show in the region. Not only that but Kris has risen as somewhat of a local social media star working with some top regional and global brands to drive home their messages. A highlight for Kris certainly has to be when he hosted the Pope in Abu Dhabi in 2019. If you have not heard Kris on the radio or seen him at an event then just hop over to his Instagram flick back a week or so and have a look at how he first offered up his platform to support local businesses during these challenging times. Truly remarkable. Kris continues to drive the message of leveraging his social media to help people that are having tough times right now and we discuss this more in this show as wel
