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
Hi All, When starting a business, the prevailing advice is: Just get started. Don’t wait for it to be perfect. Take action. And I think that makes a lot of sense in other areas too. When learning to speak a new language for example, you’re going to sound ridiculous for a while. The people who[…]
Being a Great Ski Patroller with CrossFit
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.

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[…]
Hi All, Aesthetics are part of life. Not as simple as just ‘looks’, aesthetics are informed by form and function. I was 93lbs when i was a freshman in High School. I didn’t fill out a shirt. Hats were too loose on me even at their tightest setting. And dammit I just wanted to be[…]
How to Rx, Every Time
By Coach Josh Workout Sep 17, 2019
Hi All, I told you last week about Wrestling being my first sport. Here’s how it led me to CrossFit: One of the things I loved about wrestling was the intensity. The focused mindset, the importance of technique (wrestling is very technical), and the careful balance of pushing your limits while maintaining economy of breath[…]
