Craig Harper - Fattitude.

Fattitude - Craig Harper
While many books focus on food, Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a history of 'almost' getting in shape.

DVD or CD - Renovate Your Body
In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Craig's Audio Interviews with Successful People

Tom Hafey - Audio Interview

Tom Hafey Audio Interview [15:14min]:

 

Tom Hafey is an icon of Australian sport having been a very successful player and coach in our AFL (Australian Football League). An hour with him and you realise that we have the capacity and propensity to make things more difficult than they need to be.

I love people who 'break the rules' and who change perceptions of what's normal, expected, possibly, likely.
While he is unlikely (in modern society), what he does is very possible and inspirational... if only more people would choose to think, do and be like him.

He has chosen to be different, chosen not to behave like a 'typical' seventy five year-old and chosen to do, be and live amazing(ly).

Dr John Tickell - Audio Interview

Dr John Tickell Audio Interview [19:15min]:

 

Dr John Tickell Craig, and his SEN Radio co-host Professor Peter Brukner interview Dr John Tickell. Dr John Tickell speaks about his latest books, The Calorie Comparison Guide, The Great Australian Diet and The Great Australian Diet Recipe Book which have become the most sensible, best selling weight loss and life changing publications in Australia. The books, along with Dr Tickell, were the centrepiece of the successful and high rating TV reality show on Channel 9 - 'Celebrity Overhaul'.

Dr John Tickell has an on-going passion for people and is also turning his attention to the biggest health challenge we have faced in modern times – childhood obesity – with his 'Livinglife Program for Kids'. Other interview topics include his thoughts on:

 

  • Smoothies

  • Hydration

  • Breakfast Cereals

Alicia Molik - Audio Interview

Alicia MolikAlicia Molik [30:23 min]:

 

Craig and his SEN Radio co-host, Professor Peter Brukner, interview Australian tennis ace, Alicia Molik.

In one of the funniest interviews Craig and Peter have ever been involved in, the boys cover everything from her bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and her rise to number eight in the world tennis rankings, to the debilitating inner-ear viral infection which almost destroyed her career.

The boys discover that being a gorgeous, six foot two tennis professional leaves little time to find a partner or to socialise, so they decide to use the opportunity to find Alicia a beau on-air with amusing results ... and little success..

Not your standard radio interview, but one that encapsulates what a great sport Alicia is, and what a wonderful positive attitude she has towards getting back to the top ten of women's tennis.

Ann Quinn Ph.d- Audio Interview

Dr Ann Quinn, Head of Sport ScienceAnn Quinn [27:44 min]:

 

Craig and his SEN Radio co-host, Professor Peter Brukner, interview Ann Quinn, the new Head of Sports Science at the British Lawn Tennis Association.

Ann, one of Australia's most renowned peak performance specialists, chats about her ten years on the world tennis circuit and what it was like working up-close with Aussie tennis aces Pat Cash and Pat Rafter.

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash credits Ann with helping him “become one of the fittest tennis players to ever walk on a tennis court”.

As usual Craig finds new ways to conduct an unorthodox interview which has everyone laughing.

Professor Rob Newton Ph.D - Audio Interview

Robert NewtonProfessor Rob Newton Ph.D [21:07 min]:

 

Craig, and his SEN Radio co-host Professor Peter Brukner interview Professor Robert Newton (Foundation Professor Exercise and Sport Science Edith Cowan University, Western Australia).

In this insightful interview Rob dispels a number of myths associated with exercising for optimal fat burning and succinctly (but bluntly) blows the old 'fat-burning zones' theory out of the water. This guy is at the absolute cutting-edge of Exercise Science, so if you want to most up-to-date-info...listen to him chat with Craig and Peter.

Nathan Deakes - Audio Interview

Nathan DeakesNathan Deakes Audio Interview [12:50 min]:

Craig, and his SEN Radio co-host Professor Peter Brukner interview new World Record Holder (50 km Walk) Nathan Deakes.Four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist Nathan Deakes has broken the 50km road walk world record in Geelong.

Deakes recorded a time of 3:35.47.

Competing at the Telstra Australian 50km Road Walking Championships in blustery conditions, Deakes took 16 seconds off the world record previously set by world and Olympic champion Robert Korzeniowski at the World Championships in Paris in 2003 (3:36.03). Deakes, 29, smashed his previous best and Australian record of 3:39.43 which he set in Melbourne in 2003.

Glenn Cardwell (BSc, Grad Dip Diet, Grad Dip App Sc, APD, Sports Dietitian - Audio Interview

glen cardwellGlenn Cardwell Audio Interview [21:04 min]:

Craig, and his SEN Radio co-host Professor Peter Brukner interview with dietician and author Glenn Cardwell.

Glenn expels a number of myths, fallacies, and misconceptions about food, drinks, nutrition and diet.

He also speaks about the cause of stitches and cramps and tips on how to make sure you don't get them.

Craig ran his instinctive eating concept by him on air ... He's of the opinion that the whole 'listening to our body and eating accordingly' thing, has plenty of merit.

Craig Gordon - Audio Interview - Two Part Series

Craig Gordon Audio Interview Part 1 [11:03min]:

 

Craig Gordon Audio Interview Part 2 [11:24min]:

Craig, and his SEN Radio co-host Professor Peter Brukner interview Craig Gordon, World Mountain Bike Champion - 24 hour Solo.

Craig pushed his body so hard to capture the 2006 24 Hour solo world championships, held in Conyers, Georgia that his body suffered rhabdomyolysis. Simply put Craig Gordon's bloodstream was so full of muscle breakdown products that he almost poisoned his kidneys.

He spent three days in hospital and said this:

The muscle breakdown combined with my dehydration sent a really toxic level of proteins into my blood stream." In a normal person, the range of protein is in the 20-250 parts per whatever range. My count was 5800."  


Doctors told Gordon had he continued to ride untreated, he very well could have died. Thanks to our friends at 24-solo.com Gripped Films and Aaron Kobilis for the photo. It really captured the moment.
