In this episode of the Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells Podcast, some of the High Calling Fitness coaches Justin, Amanda, and Emily cover WHY WE DON'T DO CROSSFIT. People ask us this frequently. "I'm doing CrossFit, isn't that enough?" We talk through why we think CrossFit is not the ideal method for most people. We are thankful to CrossFit for popularizing lifting and barbells and handing that to the culture at large. Strength Training is more popular than ever before, largely due to their influence. We talk about the expense, the culture, the injury risk, the burnout, and the sustainability (or lack there-of) of the CrossFit way. There are several reasons why we just don't recommend it for anyone trying to make a sustainable lifestyle change, especially if you are over 30! Most people benefit WAY more from a personalized approach, aimed at muscle mass and overall health for the long run. Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
