Crossfit: This ain’t your mommas workout.

Injuries can be avoided.

Slice and dice it however you like, Crossfit is probably the hottest fitness trend in the land. But, is that a good thing.

Right up front, I’m not anti-Crossfit. I happen to believe that there are some good things coming out of Crossfit.

Read on, grasshopper

In fact, I love that Crossfit (What is Crossfit?) has inspired so many people to train so hard. Training with intensity is a good thing, no matter how you slice it.

The Resurrection of Real Life Fitness

Real fitness for real life

I just had a wild conversation via Google+.

It stemmed from what was basically bashing Paula Deane about her announcement that she was diagnosed with Type II diabetes three years ago.

While most of the chatter was pretty inane, I had a really good exchange with Dean Ouellette of See Your Toes.

I got fired up.

Somebody's always after your hard-earned money.

I was recently talking to a friend who happens to be an insurance salesman.

The topic came up about insurance for fitness professionals.

Did you know that if you work in the fitness industry, you need insurance? I’m not talking health insurance, although that’s a good idea too.

This was more about liability insurance.

Bottom line – There are leeches in society that will sue at the drop of a hat. Granted, there are also those that have legit reasons to ask for compensation.

Success is putting a plan into action

Be victorious in achieving your goals.

Last time we broke down a list of the things that takes up our time, and then prioritized it all.

We wrapped it up with the thought about what it is that you really want to do.

For example, I mentioned that occasionally I ponder about going back to school. However, at my age, and current job, more education would only give me a slight increase in pay.

However to take time and resources away from those items that rank higher in my priorities (i.e. family, Church, business) would not be worth it.

Every time that I visit this thought, it always goes back to the same conclusion.
