FITNESS
- The December issue of the The Performance Menu: Journal of Health & Athletic Excellence is out! My piece is about picking yourself up after a loss; I spoke with sports psychologists Brady Greco and Dr. Kate Hays for their knowledge and expertise. The issue is packed with goodness. Greg Everett discusses 18-week programs and fixing the clean, Matt Foreman talks about missed attempts in training, Ryan Kyle describes emerging superstars in world weightlifting, Ryan Atkins explains the play day as a programming tool to maximize results and Sean Greeley gives biz strategies on getting more money flowing in your gym. Plus recipes by Scotty Hagnas. I made the pumpkin kale stew last night, and it was good.
- Robb Wolf critiques CrossFit. Not all Crossfit gyms, so calm down.
- PatchFitness is a pretty cool site Ryan Atkins turned me on to. I wish there was one in Minneapolis!
