  Speaker 1: Hey, Pod Therapy listeners. Nick here, I just wanted to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: record this quick message to let you know that beginning
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: on February third, the Pod Therapy Fitness Challenge is back
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. As listeners of the show, I'm
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: sure you're aware that in addition to being a therapist,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm also a certified personal trainer. In twenty twenty two,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I created mental Fit Personal Training to put into practice
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: all of the things that I had been learning about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: mental health and the benefits of physical exercise on mental health.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: For a lot of people, exercise can be intimidating, whether
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: because we don't know what we're doing, we feel insecure,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we feel out of place doing it, or simply never
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: had a good experience with exercise, we tend to avoid
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it at all costs. If you've had any thoughts about
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: starting off twenty twenty five on a positive note, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: would encourage you to participate in our Pod Therapy Fitness Challenge.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: This is going to be an eight week program that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: can be done in the comfort of your own home,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and when you sign up, you'll get access to the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: mental Fit smartphone app. You will use the app to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: access your workouts, record your results and to chat with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: other therapials participating in the challenge. The cost of the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: program is forty dollars for eight weeks of workouts. We
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: will be doing three workouts each week, which will appear
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in your calendar in the morning on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but you can access them at any time, so you're
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: not limited to those days and times to work out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You can complete the workouts whenever it is most convenient
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: for you, at home, at the park, wherever it's going
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to work out for you. Here's the best part. You
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: don't need to be in great physical shape to participate.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: The program is designed for beginners, so the exercises are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: body weight movements that can be modified to match your
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: specific fitness level. Because these are body weight movements, this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: means no gym is required, no workout equipment is required,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and do these exercises from the comfort of your own home.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The majority of these workouts are designed to be completed
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in thirty minutes or less. Both the resistance workouts and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the aerobic workouts will be doing are designed to be
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: completed using body weight alone. However, new for twenty twenty five,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a resistance banned workout variation will now be available for
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: anyone that wants a bit more of a challenge. When
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you log into the workout on a resistance workout day,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you'll have the option to complete a body weight version
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of the workout or a resistance band version of the workout.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I will include an Amazon link in this episode description
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to the resistance bands that I have that I'm going
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to be using in some of the demonstration videos. My
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: set that I have consists of six bands, varying in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: resistance from thirty pounds to eighty five pounds, and they're
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: more of the heavier resistance bands, but there are lighter
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: sets available that you can purchase, which I would recommend
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: if you're new and just starting out exercising. You hear
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: me talk a lot on the show about the importance
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of exercise for mental health. If you've been thinking about
