Like our future gym shirts will say…. “It’s like life.” We squatted today, and relatively heavy, but like life, sometimes we may be forced to do things after just having done them. Perhaps something like your writing a blog post and your computer dies when you take a break to eat dinner for literally a … More First We Wod

I took a couple of the movements and the thoughts from Kristi O’Connell. She is a Games athlete and Affiliate Owner of CrossFit Polaris in Columbus OH. I continue to get ideas and learn from others and articulate it in my own way. I feel like once you feel you know it all… you’ve lost … More Leave A Legacy
Many common misconceptions exist in our vast world of exercise science. A lot also exists in other equally profound walks of life. Before I was amused by the idea of being an endearing gym rat watching lives change, transition, and grow, I wanted to become a doctor. I think our brain is the most special, … More The Divided Brain
