Did we overlook the obvious earlier? Fresh on the heels of an episode about running, the coaches take a step back and examine walking, rucking, and hiking.

-Are they basically the same or are they distinct disciplines?

-Based in Colorado, hiking just makes sense to us. Maybe it's different for you.

-How do you train for a harder hike or a backpacking trip?

-Is hiking really a great summer thing to do or is it just because we're told that it's great that we think it's great?

-What are the most common injuries or nagging pains that prevent people from hiking? And how do you deal with them?

Weekly Challenge: Are you more of a destination hiker or a land-snorkler? Well this week, get out and do the opposite!

Question for the Listeners: What type of hiker (walker, or rucker) are you?

Well, the air conditioning might just be making you fat...but the real elephant in the room is that it's really really hard to get our subconscious, emotions, and biology to respond to rational thought, especially when we're trying to make a change! It's a little bit like somebody riding an elephant: you can steer the elephant, sort of. But it will be a lot easier to guide if it has a path to follow.

On this episode, the coaches discuss ways to adapt your physical environment (key terrain, as Josh calls it. He is a Marine after all) to help your subconscious elephant develop better habits, even when you don't feel like it.

Also on this episode:

-Josh and Jordan run the USMC Physical Fitness Test: Josh scores a 266, Jordan a 255.

-A crazy running story about an accidental marathon.

-Josh forgets his rugby teammates names and has to call them by nicknames in court in front of a judge.

Weekly Challenge: Hold the longest plank you can! Can you get to 3min, 45sec?

Question for the Listeners: Can you tell us about a time that you had a practical solution that helped change a habit?

The best things in life are on the other side of your comfort zone. When it comes to exercise, physique, and confidence, frequently the key to getting there is INTENSITY.

Most lack it. Many don't know how to access it. Some abuse it. Josh and Jordan have to help clients with this on a daily basis and, as dedicated amateur athletes, they have to access it themselves.

Also on this episode:

-"Little Miss Muffet" - Jordan deals with a surprise guest who drops in, literally. (hilarity ensues)

-Josh found out where the governor on his car engine was set.

Weekly Challenge: Accumulate 2 minutes of dead hang time from a bar, daily!

Question for the Listeners: Tell us about a time when you had to hit the intensity button to push through something. What did you have to do or tell yourself?

What is the foundation of a good bikini body? Josh and Jordan dig deeper into what it takes to get "bikini ready", giving extra perspective from April's bikini episode. They investigate the true social cost of being lean, as well as how to begin any journey that gets you to a lower body fat percentage.

Also on this episode:

Josh inexplicably takes what he calls the "thought-island-hopping campaign" to navigate from anchor splash to bikini atoll to whoppenheimer to answer a listener question who is vacationing in Japan. (This listener is wondering why Japanese people seemingly eat more fats and are leaner).

Josh responds with coaches' intuition and an interesting research article from AgEcon, written by Benjamin Senauer and Masahiko Gemma.

Jordan talks about the relevance of the "mountain top" experience, ie your peak. You can look around and check out the view, but you can't live there.

Weekly Challenge: Say "Hi" to a stranger 1 x daily!

Question for the Listeners: What social thing would you be willing to give up to make progress on your physique goals?
