Videos and Posts Im Loving


Seriously, Jonnie is always great. I love his take on how to handle a bad workout.


I dig videos like this from Matty Fusaro... it shows clips from their regular life! Watch his brother pull three plates (even though he's never deadlifted in his life. Yeah, I cried too.)

I participated in the first ever Life In Pictures Linkup this week! Check out more about it here!

Wow! Look at all the different workouts Heather checked out at Fitbloggin!
