@SimonHevigan @jimmythewhack @martin1evans Are you for real? So how does that motivate anyone? Is that what you do with your kids, family, staff? So go on then give us your tactical analysis of how we should be scoring instead of booing.

THE GREAT ESCAPE was released 61 years ago this week. Featuring a huge all-star cast and one of the most iconic themes in film, the making of story is as extraordinary as the events on which it is based…

@foundmyfitness @jasonfried From a layman’s perspective and someone who winter bathes in Sweden every year, it’s pretty tough to spend 1 hour in a frozen lake at one time🥶. Do you mean these benefits can be gained by a cumulative hour over a period of time, say a week? @foundmyfitness

@Derithomas @tomwilliams1974 Kullamanen has to be the most insane but yet incredible event I’ve ever seen. We hiked the toughest 10km section a while back, with around 750m of ascension it was tough. That was during a lovely summer’s day, they do it at night in autumn 🤟

@tomwilliams1974 @Derithomas Just hope @Derithomas doesn’t hit the Fardo bars, we know how much he loves a good sing-a-long 👨‍🎤💃🏼

New presentation! At the recent @CrossFit for Health Summit, I discussed how sedentary living is a disease that accelerates the aging process! However, engaging in vigorous physical activities and resistance training can stave off many aspects of aging down to the cellular level.

Given that @CrossFit has become almost synonymous with the intense, demanding workouts central to our discussion, the venue provided an ideal audience for exploring the profound impacts of this fitness approach.
