HERDFITUSA welcomes Tom Kietur @tkietur, heart attack survivor, who talks about his experience with a heart attack after a WOD and how he was able to survive and recover.

A twenty-one year Air Force veteran and successful small business owner @readycleancontracting, Tom is a stalwart @crossfitbison member. We witnessed Tom experience a "widowmaker" heart attack at the gym during a workout a year ago. Overcoming death-defying odds, Tom was able to recover and continues as a CrossFit athlete, inspiring us and others around him with his fortitude, hard work, and positive outlook on life. We learned a lot about overcoming adversity working with Tom over the past year, and he shares his amazing story with us today.

Our next episode is a discussion about coming back to the gym after the summer. How can we best get back into our best performances safely and efficiently after all those White Claws and sun-kissed days?

HERDFITUSA welcomes COURTNEY ROSELLE @courtney_roselle, founder of Iron Grace Fitness and @nbctitangames TITAN OF THE EAST.

A self-described "Feminine Tomboy" who grew up in New Jersey, Courtney talks about her path to becoming an independent, strong willed woman on a career path where many told her she would fail. Courtney burst onto the national and international scene last year as the dynamic TITAN OF THE EAST on @therock #TitanGames.

Fitness model, athlete, personal trainer, TITAN GAMES athlete, and motivational speaker, Courtney talks about achieving success by staying true to her vision.

This bonus video is about the NOBULL CrossFit Games 2021. We talk to the athletes and try to capture a little bit of what the Games were like this year to attend in person.

This week's episode is from Botox and Burpees Episode 1 Season 7. One of the most important topics we covered, we talk about the dreaded I word in sports and fitness - injuries. How to avoid injuries, how to deal with injuries, and actually how to get the most out of an injury.

Our next episode is Bison Bowl VI - the @crossfitbison intramural competition held this past weekend. We talk how athletes can assess their true abilities in a friendly competitive environment, as well as some behind-the-scenes discussion about how the Bison Bowl developed, teams are created, and what is involved in programming the competition. Shout outs to many of our gym athletes are involved in one of the best gym events of the year!

(One correction: Brittany Storms, @b_a_storms successfully completed 155# in the barbell ladder, not 145# as mentioned in the podcast!)

Our next episode sometimes difficult for all of us to wrap our heads around as athletes. We talk about approaching CrossFit as a SPORT versus CrossFit FOR HEALTH. What is the difference, and will knowing the difference help us as athletes?

Our next episode is with guest coach Adam Ramsden @w.a.ramsden. We talk about COACHABILITY. Both as athletes and coaches, how can we be receptive and make the most of the coaching we both receive and give as athletes?

Our next episode is with guest coach Adam Ramsden @w.a.ramsden. We talk about resiliency and toughness - approaching hardships with mental toughness in our CrossFit workouts. How can that translate into increased fortitude in our everyday lives?

Our third episode is with special guests Aidan Malinowski @aidanmal and Jordan Suarez @jordansuarez46. These two athletes founded WOD-USA @wod.usa, a fundraising project where they worked out at 48 CrossFit gyms in 48 states in 29 days. Their goal was to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project® (@wwp).

CrossFit Bison @crossfitbison was the last affiliate they visited before heading home. What was it like journeying across the country and working out in 48 different gyms? We talk to them about that and much more.

Our second episode is with guest coach Adam Ramsden. We talk about something every CrossFit athlete wrestles with: pursuing quality movements versus quality scores. We discuss what constitutes quality movements and quality scores, and how do we determine what we should be pursuing in any given workout?
