Many of us take time daily to work on our bodies in a physical manner. As a person in the fitness industry for the past 5 years I think people are more active than ever and it’s amazing! But from time to time I think it’s good to check yourself and make sure that you are working on your real self; the stuff that makes you, you. Just like mobility and quoting awesome movies with co-workers, it is something best done daily. Take a moment from working on your double unders, Olympic lifts, Squats (just kidding), and checking in the mirror looking for abs to ask one simple question: “Would you want to hang out with yourself?”.

The rest of us….. not so much. I totally respect those that put in the hours upon hours to try and rise to the top of the leaderboards, but I am not one of those people. I did not train for the Open.
