Hey folks, Ben Greenfield here and I am actually on my way down to Montego Bay, Jamaica to compete in the Rose Hall triathlon down there.

So be looking for that. We have some exciting stuff to go over with you. We're always looking at the topics that you suggest for us to go over in the inner circle podcast, which is really designed to be more of a podcast that shows you how to make your home a healthier home that supports fitness, nutrition and performance.

We also have questions today and an interview with a gentleman who happens to be a podcast listener named Mike, who lost over 200 pounds, as a matter of fact, close to 220 pounds and still going down.

So we have an interview with Mike and incidentally a couple of questions from a couple other listeners named Mike. So lots of mics show up in today's podcast.

Alright folks, first of all, I just recorded a video and I put it up on the show notes to this episode, episode number 116.

And it's for anybody who uses training peaks and training peaks is the software that I use to coach all the clients who work with me for fat loss or triathlon coaching.

And it's also a pretty popular free program that a lot of folks use online to track their fitness and their nutrition.

Anyways, I have an exercise library with over 100 videos that are all accessible through training peaks, which means you can access them with your schedule through your phone or your computer along with a library of workouts that have written out.

So if you're a training peaks user and you're a coach or a trainer who works with folks and you want access to a video library and a workout library designed by me or you're someone who uses training peaks and you want to be able to kind of drag and drop workouts.

So I've written or videos that I've written into your program, I put a video up on the show notes that shows you how to do that.

So if you're not interested in having a personal trainer or you're not interested in having a coach, but you just want access to all the workouts that I've written, then you can check that out.

So go to the special announcements section of today's podcast podcast number 116.

We've pretty much got all the full transcripts of the podcast now up and those are accessible at Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.
