Summary

We all want to be fit. But who wants to go to a gym ever day? And what if lifting weights actually bulks you up rather than slim you down? With all the conflicting information out there, you can't get your head around the right foods to eat before and after a workout. It's exhausting trying to figure out the best fitness strategies to lose weight and feel great. That's where today's guests can offer you some invaluable advice: what they don't know about fitness is not worth knowing. Devon's dive into wellness dates back to her late 20's. Despite being a dancer and appearing slim and healthy, she had a disordered relationship with food, and was pre-diabetic and peri-menopausal, which means her blood sugar and hormones were completely out of balance. Through a combination of Gyrotonic training, holistic anti-aging strategies and nutrition, Devon completely healed her Lyme disease, balanced her hormones and now feels healthier than ever. For Rob, health was just about aesthetics. It was about looking good. Flash-forward 10 years, and an unfortunate honeymoon photo made Rob realize that his "just work out and don't worry about the food" theory had resulted in a big gut – he looked the worse he'd ever looked. Now, he's shed 30 pounds and looks 10 years younger! Together, Rob and Devon are the dynamic duo behind Open Sky Fitness. Their podcast combines expert interviews with in depth looks at the latest in wellness and workouts. They also offer one on-one coaching and group challenges for people who are really serious about getting fit.
