Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!!
I wish I could say I had something to do with the execution of this video, but sadly, I do not.
Either way, be sure to celebrate in your own way today! (I hope you’re all wearing green at the very least)

Friends,
You have not seen a real post in a while. The reason is that I am moving apartments, so the last few days have been REALLY busy.
I promise that as soon as I am any kind of moved in at my new place, I will get the posts caught up.
Thanks for understanding!
(In the meantime, keep telling your friends to Subscribe to my YouTube channel!! I’m at 13 folks now. Alec is going to have me recording some discussions that I will share with all of you! Subscribe and pass it one, please!)

Sunday Funday is back! Ben, Andy and Jamie showed up on the first day with an extra hour of daylight of 2011.
The workout introduced a new exercise to some, with “Knees to Elbows”, or an appropriate modification of that movement. What became very clear early on in the workout, was that without a tight core, these things are much more difficult to do! Tight core, people! 🙂
Workout of the Day:
4 Rounds for Time-
200m Run / 15 Wall Balls / 10 Burpee Box Jumps / 5 Knees to Elbows
Athlete Results:
Jamie (20# Ball)- 20:31
Ben (150m Run / 6# Ball / 5 Burpee Box Jumps / Hanging Knee Tucks)- 15:57
Andy (14# Ball / Hanging Leg Raises)- 17:02

From the outside, CrossFit seems like just a fitness program. Once you enter the community, you learn it’s much more than that.
It’s a way of life. It’s a community. It’s a family. At CrossFit Lakewood, I consider the athletes I have the honor of working with a part of my extended family, and I think many would say the same about one another.
The impact that CrossFit training has on an individual was taken to the next level in my book this morning, however. The guys at CrossFit Dallas Central shared an incredible video with the world, that almost hits me more every single time I use it. The relationships you can create or develop in the gym go far beyond pushing one another through a difficult lift or challenging workout.
This post is to share a story and video put together by Dean at CFDC on a marriage proposal done at their gym. While I’ve never met Noah or Kelli, I can say from the bottom of my heart, that I wish you two absolutely nothing but the best in your lives together. This moment is beyond awesome. Thanks so much for sharing this, Dean.

2011 CrossFit Games: Accountability
Posted: March 13, 2011 in CrossFit, Media, TrainingTags: 2011 CrossFit Games, CrossFit, CrossFit Games, Motivation, Training
The first workout of the 2011 CrossFit Games Open will be released in just over two days.
That is the first time a person will have to say to themselves, “Gosh, I should have worked on this more.”
My challenge to every single person who reads this post and is planning on competing this year is simple:
Make NO excuses.
Take 100% accountability for the shape you’re in, and the progress you’ve made to prepare yourself for this competition.
It’s nobody else’s fault that you’re not better at pistols, or that you can’t clean and jerk more weight.
It will be very difficult at times, but I really want you to try. Know that you are exactly where you should be right now, based on the work you’ve put in over the last month, 6 months, or 12 months.
Giddy-up, guys and gals. The time is now!
(This message applies to most aspects of life, by the way. Taking that FULL accountability for one’s current state is a big challenge for us as humans. Practice it sometimes, it will make you stronger.)

I love impressions. That is all.
2011 CrossFit Games: 2010 Women’s Highlights

The Women of the 2010 CrossFit Games. That’s what this video is called.
It should probably just be called: People who are fitter than you.
Check out this three and a half minute clip showing the world what fitness can look like in women who don’t just think that skinny = sexy.
As many CrossFit shirts, and posted articles around the world have said: Strong is the new sexy.
The Pursuit of Paleo: Ownership

Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s about time you start to take ownership for what you put into your body. I don’t care if free range, grass fed meat is a little bit more expensive. That is the type of food that our bodies were designed to eat! Would you rather save a few dollars on groceries, or fuel your body with powerful nutrients?! That’s what I thought.
That’s why it was a relief for me to find that the folks over at Portlandia finally got it right!
Take the time to do your homework before you just take somebody’s word for it. Your body will thank you.

The boys at Life AsRx found and shared another gem with the world.
In this video, Mark Monea lands the first-ever 360 degree front flip on a motorcycle. Yeah, you read that correctly. Wow.
