You Can Do This
I went to my Crossfit certification in March of 2008. I learned a lot and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked back at my notes from the cert.
One of the lectures that stuck out to me was Robb Wolf speaking on nutrition. In his talk he said something very simple that can [...]

Don’t Mistake Quantity For Quality
Do you feel like you have to workout for at least an hour to see any benefits? Is a 60 minute “cardio burn” what you’re itching for? How’s that working out for you?
I ride road bikes and it never ceases to amaze me to see all the flabby, overweight cyclists who go long in 90% [...]

Tri It Again!!
Tomorrow I will be competing in my second sprint triathlon. The first was a couple of years ago and it was a BLAST! Not sure what’s taken me so long to commit to doing it again.
The day before a race I often get quite contemplative-
How will things go?
Have I trained enough?
Where are my red socks?
This [...]

Is It In You?
Gatorade came up with that tagline. I think it’s a good (albeit vague) challenge. Is it in you? Do you have what it takes? Are you up to the task?
Is It In You?
You know what? I’m not going to ask you that question. I’m just going to tell you.
It’s In You.
Those abs you’re looking for. [...]

Where Will You Be In 8 Months?

It’s Just Fun!
Why do I exercise? I do it because I enjoy it. It’s just fun for me. I spent a lot of years mountain biking which really turns exercise into fun. For all you calorie counting nuts, mountain biking can burn up to 581 calories an hour (for a 170 lb male). So in a day [...]

A Better Place
I love fitness. I love how I feel after a tough workout. There’s a sense of accomplishment. A feeling that I can do anything. Anything.
Do you feel that way?

I’d like to [...]

Have You Felt Your Glutes Lately?
I have. Well, not yours. I’ve felt mine. Um, wait, let’s start over.
The glutes are a big part of your posterior chain, a group of muscles that also includes the lower back muscles, hamstrings, and calves. The posterior chain helps you do things like stay upright, lift heavy objects, as well as run and jump [...]

I’ll just sit this one out.
It’s obvious that Mack has been training most of his life. His shape is not one you’d obtain by accident. When you talk to him you learn that his passion for his sport runs deep.
“Oh, I began my training when I was 5 or 6 minutes old,” remembers Mack. “Back then it was mostly being [...]
