Why Most Gyms Get Started
By Coach Josh Workout Jan 15, 2020
Hi All, What if we accepted ‘good enough’ as the goal? How many things would we be able to move forward with? And having moved forward or taken action – doesn’t it seem more likely that we will continue to improve? We will keep moving that ball forward? We will keep opening that door? We[…]
Brush Your Teeth, And Workout Every Day
By Coach Josh Workout Dec 10, 2019
I don’t brush my teeth because it’s fun, I do it because I know I have to. Every day. I won’t really notice if I miss a day, but I don’t want it to accumulate. Working out is the same. I do it every day in some capacity. It’s not always fun, sexy, or even[…]

Building The Plane While You Fly It
By Coach Josh Workout Dec 04, 2019

By Coach Josh Workout Oct 21, 2019
Hi All, In my first year of Ski Patrolling I went out for an early work mission…in a white-out blizzard and without goggles (because I was a rookie and had forgotten them in my other bag). I didn’t have poles either because I had to keep my hands free to carry a drill and build[…]
Hi All, I love the mountains, I love skiing, and I love health. Prior to becoming a paramedic, I got my start as an EMT on the Copper Mountain Ski Patrol in Colorado. The main part of my job was medical response, and I worked with many career medics, firefighters, and former military. Someone would[…]
Hi All, “Isn’t that bad for you??” …is one of the most common questions in the fitness industry. It’s mentioned when talking about diet and exercise. Wheat bread versus white bread. Running versus lifting. Turkey versus beef. When I started as a Paramedic working in the healthcare industry, I dealt with that concept a lot.[…]
Cascade Classic Reflections

Hi All, If a patient with a heart condition goes to see a Doctor, they might get told what they need to do. Eat healthier, stop smoking, exercise more. Easier said than done! A smart Doctor will help them figure out how to do it. It’s not hard to imagine that together they might come[…]
Procrastinating on Fitness
By Coach Josh Workout Sep 20, 2019
Hi All, Perfectionism can get in the way of accomplishing anything. When I was growing up, a running theme throughout my schoolwork was procrastination. Projects would be completed the day before, essays would be written hurriedly and on top of the deadline, and each time it would drive my mother crazy. Procrastination can look like[…]
