For this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're re-running an old early episode of Linda talking with Elaine LaLanne. Check it out!
"Elaine LaLanne is nothing less than incredible! At 91 she puts us all to shame. Elaine does full push ups, takes no medication, and is as sharp as a tack. In this episode we talk about how Elaine, the then smoker and donut lover, met Jack, The Godfather of Fitness and he changed her life forever. Jack also had a life-changing event happen to him; perhaps that was why he was so interested in making an impact in other people’s lives. Jack was ill as a teen and his entire life was changed from a lecture by Paul Braggs of Braggs Aminos. This was a lecture in which Jack was almost turned away because it was sold out. Paul made room for Jack and his mother right up front. Talk about divine intervention."
Are you interested in endurance events? Have you been told you couldn’t do something? Today we dive into the importance of mindset, whether it is in endurance events or in your personal life. In this episode, I talk with Lisa Tamati, Author, Documentary filmmaker, Podcast host, coach, and endurance athlete. Lisa joins us to discuss her experience with endurance events, training, and overcoming obstacles. She talks about how she overcome an abusive relationship, as well as helping her mother heal from an aneurysm. She discusses how easy it can be to let ourselves accept treatment we don’t deserve, and how to come back from massive tragedy in our lives to really reach our best selves. We really dig deep into why having mental toughness is the key to so much good in your life.
