Today is the first day of fall, huh? Time FLIES! With Autumn right around the corner, that only means one thing….

WINTER IS ALMOST HERE!!!

Now, I love summertime. So much. Soooo much. Being outside in the sun is one of my favorite past times, but when that time of the year comes when the snow starts to fall… I’m ready to shred!

My buddy Jack, who runs the Apres Powder Winter Sports Blog that I’ve featured here quite a bit, wanted to take a few minutes and ask me about how I prepare (and recommend other people prepare) for another epic season of crushin’ pow.

Check out the interview by CLICKING HERE! I think Jack did an AMAZINg job! Thoughts?

And we’re baaaaack! This episode’s question comes from my homeboy and yours, Alon Avdi.

He asks:
“I want to learn more about training the mind. I believe mental toughness/discipline/mastery or just an ability to direct one’s perception is key to achieving all manner of things in life, fitness included.

So, what ways can and should we consider this issue and direct our training?”

What do you think? Does anyone else approach goals and mental toughness the same way I do?

They’re trying to create an place of acceptance and tolerance. They hope to foster an atmosphere of not judging one another.

I’ll let you guys take this one. What do you think?

At least this news broadcast isn’t joking about their culture, either. Check out these three Planet Fitness commercials.

Did I laugh out loud at each of them? Yes.
Will I ever join a Planet Fitness? No.

Last night the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games were featured during Prime time on ESPN2 (a Major Cable network!). For MANY of you, it may have been the first exposure you ever had to our sport of CrossFit. To avid CrossFitters, it was certainly the most “mainstream” exposure we’ve ever seen given to our sport.

Regardless of your stance and experience with it, what are your thoughts? Did you like learning about CrossFit and the CrossFit Games? If you knew about them already, do you think the shows last night did them justice?

I’m curious to how you all feel about it. All I know is that I was like a kid in a candy store watching some of my friends and other CrossFit starts tear it up! I’m a very active CrossFitter and a trainer at CrossFit Lakewood here in Denver, Colorado, so seeing my hobby and passion being presented to such a large audience actually filled me with a HUGE sense of pride!

If you missed the shows last night, fear not, there are two more weeks of coverage on Wednesday nights! Check the trailer for the show below, and the TV schedule below that.

So…. what’d you guys think?!

I have always loved uplifting stories about “Ordinary People” who do extraordinary things.

This video shows the story of a man, who with a little ingenuity, has been able to literally brighten lives of people in his village.

If you know about stories like this, please email them to me. I would love to continue posting amazing stories like this!

Do you guys like seeing things like this?

Well folks, the Sport of CrossFit is turning heads yet again. This time, on a slightly larger scale.

From 5 years ago where the “CrossFit Games” were held on a ranch in Southern California with a few people, to all but selling out the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, CrossFit is about to receive a pretty grand stage to showcase what we’re all about.

Starting TONIGHT Wednesday,  September 14th, a recap of The 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games will be televised on ESPN2!!

Check out the video below showing what it will be all about, and the TV schedule I pulled from the official video. This is going to be SO COOL! Now, part of “our story” will be put out there for thousands (millions?) of other people to see.

First, Reebok partners with CrossFit and starts to release a CrossFit-Specific clothing line. Now, ESPN2 Prime Time Coverage for 2 weeks in a row? Get ready for the next big wave, people. I told you we were going to take off.

PUMPED!
