Jason is an American former Crossfit Games athlete, who made 8 consecutive appearances and the games and is known for his win as the 2008 CrossFit Games champions and other notable finishes in second place in 2013 and third place in 2014. He also won the Spirit of the Games award in 2009, which is an award given to the CrossFit gamesathlete who exemplifies extraordinary character and inspires those watching to face their biggest challenges with resilience, grace, and kindness. In 2016, Jason's daughter Ava was diagnosed with Luekemia which led him to stepping away from competing in the games. Since his days competing in the CrossFit Games, Jason has spent his professional time building his fitness business, NCFit Gyms and the NCFit Collective. He is also the host of his own wildly popular podcast call Effort Over Everything. Jason is also known for the book he wrote titled "As Many Reps as Possible." This book serves as a framework to being more present, living more intentionally, and accomplishing more in life. Not in a hypothetical, mushy way, but in a practical, real way. "As Many Reps as Possible" or "AMRAP" in the CrossFit community is an approach I've adopted in my own life and in today's conversation we talk a lot about how to apply this framework in our roles as leaders of our families. Jason is a hyper present, hyper focused guy, and after speaking with him, its no surprise to me that he was able earn the fittest man on earth while also accomplishing what he's accomplished in business so far all while keeping his family as his number one priority. Above it all, Jason is an incredible man, husband, and father.

Some of my own big fitness goals recently have been just that - fitness goals. Not so much the running or the swimming, but all round fitness that includes strength, endurance and power. But how do you motivate and test yourself with these less linear goals? Well for me, Turf Games came along and gave me the answer. My guest on the podcast today is Turf Games founder Andy Manteit, who tells us more about what the Turf Games involves, who it's for, and some of the benefits. We talk training and competing, motivation, community and teamwork, and at the end of the interview I give Andy some quick fire exercise-related questions! There may be a bit of less-than-common terminology in this episode so here are some explainers: AMRAP A workout where you complete As Many Reps (or Rounds) As Possible in a given time EMOM A workout where you do an exercise for a given number of reps Every Minute On The Minute for a prescribed number of minutes Ski Erg An indoor cross country ski machine like this one: https://www.concept2.com/skierg/concept2-skierg Double Unders Skipping rope exercise where you pass the rope underneath your feet twice for every jump Clean Bringing a barbell (or dumbbell or kettlebell) from the floor to the front rack position on the shoulders Snatch Bringing a barbell (or dumbbell or kettlebell) from the floor to an overhead position D-Ball to shoulder A D-Ball is a heavy medicine ball that lands on the ground with no bounce ('dead'). In the D-Ball to shoulder exercise you pick the ball up from the floor and place it on one shoulder before returning it to the floor The Worm A long, heavy sandbag typically lifted by 2-4 people at a time. Coordination and teamwork are everything! https://youtu.be/VykOrx4c-q8 If you train in a gym and haven't yet discovered Turf Games get yourself over to their website once you've listened to today's episode. And even if ‘putting yourself in the bin', as they say, isn't for you, then still listen in because I think you'll find it interesting to hear how this fitness-as-competition movement is gathering momentum. https://turfgames.com https://www.instagram.com/turfgames

Davidson Hang Reflections and Lessons from a life worth living
Sharing with you my takeaways from using Oura, Fitbit, and Whoop Fitness trackers. #AltaHR #Oura #Fitness #Whoop #Tracker I wanted to share the pros and cons of each of these fitness trackers with you and have I have leveraged these tools to stay fit and healthy through consistency accountability. I want to acknowledge that before COVID I was attending regular yoga, Meditation, Crossfit, and HIIT workouts. I miss those so much, but I have leverage YouTube to do free exercises to stay in shape since then. Pros and Cons of Whoop Pros: 1. You barely notice the strap, and it gives you the most data from Heart Rate Variability to Sleep Quality. 2. Whoop has a community. For instance, my friend Ian invited me to the Cayman Islands whoop group, and if I am feeling competitive, I can push myself. 3. They give you a strain score and lets you know how much you are pushing yourself every day. Depending on your goals, this can help you maintain an optimal level of fitness. For instance, yesterday I pushed myself, and it showed that I pushed myself more than I usually do. My heart rate was high, and I maintained the right level of optimal heart rate percentage. Cons: 1. It's the most expensive option out of the three options, and I would only recommend it if you are serious about your fitness, and you are trying to take it to the next level. It's worth the investment if you want to see how far you can push yourself. For instance, Jeff, Paul, Hayden, and I will do regular As Many Reps as Possible sets in 12 minutes where we complete five sit-ups, ten push-ups, and 15 squats. I was able to go from 21 sets to 31 sets completed in 12 mins over the course of the last few months. Whoop was able to show that I can put more strain on my body but breaking down my muscles even more. This helped me push my limits. Sometimes when I get a reading that I need more sleep- I already know that sometimes ignorance is bliss but can you improve something you do not measure, which is why I still want to get better. If it's a blind spot, then I should deal with it. Get a free WHOOP strap and your first month free when you join with my link: https://join.whoop.com/#/7FC83A Pros and Cons of Oura Ring Oura Ring is a ring that you put on yourself and it measures Sleep Score Lowest Resting Heart Rate Average Resting Heart Rate Total Sleep Restfulness REM Sleep Sleep Latency Sleep Timing Bedtime Deep Time Wake Up Time REM Sleep Light Sleep Awake Time Respiratory Rate All of this data is meant to help you to be able to prioritize sleep. It's an interesting time to experiment with all of this has COVID has enabled us to have more free time. I've been sleeping more than I usually have before the pandemic, so that's one thing I am grateful for. I have noticed myself functioning more optimally and being efficient. Pros: 1. The ring looks cool. I got the gunmetal black one, which I enjoy- It's barely noticeable. You get used to it, so it's not a big as the Fitbit, which I notice more, so I don't wear the Fitbit Alta to Sleep. 2. The data is clean and the ring charges quickly, and it has a very long battery life. Out of all of the three fitness trackers, Oura seems like it requires the least maintenance, but it doesn't have as many data points as Whoop. Cons: 1. You technically don't need any of this data. Sometimes I'm not even sure what to do with the data. They give me a pretty accurate readiness score. It seems to know the quality of my sleep, which will impact the quality of my day. Knowing that helps me able to want to sleep. Pros and Cons of Fitbit Alta HR Pros 1. I order the Fitbit because of the large community- because it integrates with Facebook. I was able to add so many of my friends who being able to attempt to be the #1 steps person every day has helped me live a pretty healthy life. Since I have moved to the suburbs it's been harder to get as many steps in and because there is a pandemic I'm a bit more cautious when I go to the park and things like that. 2. It lasts pretty long- I've had it for over three and a half years, and it works perfectly fine. It's never had any huge issues or anything like that. The battery life will last me at least three days, and I'm pretty active too. 3. You don't need to log anything. It will automatically track it for you, so it requires low maintenance in terms of being able to track data. For whoop, for instance, you have to track all of your activities, requiring more work on the front end. Leave a comment or if you want me to review more products- post below.

This pandemic is awful, we get that, but let's try to look at the silver linings when we can; this is a great time to get back in touch with your body, get your nervous system talking to your muscles again, and that will prepare you so much more for when the gyms reopen and we can go back to our routines.If you're stuck at home for the foreseeable future, there are lots of fun ways to mix up your exercise routines and get a lot of great stimulus during this time. Try getting (safely) creative by using things around the house like stairs or coffee tables for elevation, and hardwood floors for sliding.8:30 - Now is a great time to get back in touch with your body11:30 - Be F.I.T. - Focused.

The Elite Advisor Blueprint®: A Podcast for Financial Advisors
On today’s podcast, I’m talking to Jason Khalipa - Jason was crowned the Fittest Man on Earth in 2008 and is regarded as one of the most accomplished athletes in CrossFit Games history. He’s the Founder of NCFIT, which is a global company with thousands of participants worldwide, aimed at making fitness effective, fun, and accessible. He’s also the author of "As Many Reps as Possible" where he reveals simple principles to take control of your life and harness your true potential. Jason and I first crossed paths last year at Jayson Gaignard’s Mastermind Talks event and after a few morning workouts with him, it not only became clear how he became an elite CrossFit athlete, but also how he’s taken that and applied it to becoming an incredible coach and entrepreneur. I’m honored to have him on the show and share with you all just how much financial services and fitness have in common and how to incorporate the mindset of a world-class athlete into your own business! Here are just a few highlights of what we get into: How you can take your clients from financially unfit to fit - and why having a proprietary process is absolutely vital to building and scaling a successful practice. How to hold your team accountable - and how Jason reacted when a mentor told him he had a hobby, but not a business - this is a critical lesson for every financial advisor to hear. The story of his daughter’s battle with leukemia and why scaling his business gave him the power to take a vital step back during a critical moment in his life.

When you walk through the doors of NCFIT, the first thing you're going to be greeted by is a smiling face, then another and another – and, immediately, even a stranger will feel welcome. That's the power of community. And cultivating a passionate community is exactly what NCFIT founder Jason Khalipa wanted to do when he started what is now a small CrossFit empire; he wanted to create an environment where employees were paid to chase their passion, do what they love, and create happier, healthier communities along the way. It's a marriage of fitness and hospitality that really makes an impact on the people who come through the doors. But running NCFIT is just one of Jason's many hats. He is also author of As Many Reps as Possible, the host of two podcasts (AMRAP Mentality and Business of Fitness), and a dedicated philanthropist who gives so much to spread awareness for pediatric cancer and provide support to families fighting that difficult fight. Jason started his philanthropy work in 2016, after he and his wife were faced with a parent's worst nightmare: their daughter, Ava, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of four. But the Khalipa family embraced Ava's diagnosis and faced it with unyielding positivity. Instead of playing it safe, they went all in. Instead of focusing on themselves, they spread support. Instead of worrying, they celebrated. Because those are the memories that Jason wants Ava to remember. And no matter what is happening or where you are in your life, it's never too late. You can overcome any adversity. You can start that business. You can write the story of your own life. You are the only person who can free your potential. -- Resources: Learn more at http://www.jasonkhalipa.com/ (http://www.jasonkhalipa.com/) Read: As Many Reps as Possible Listen to AMRAP Mentality: http://www.jasonkhalipa.com/ampodcast Listen to Business of Fitness: https://www.ncfitpodcast.fit/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasonkhalipa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/jasonkhalipa -- We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full-service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.

Those of you in the CrossFit world have heard the acronym AMRAP. It stands for As Many Reps As Possible. So, for example in a workout, you could be given 10 minutes to complete as many reps as possible of 10 air squats, 10 double-unders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tF3hUsPZAI), and 10 push-ups. You set the clock, go, and see how much you can push yourself to get things done. Today on the podcast, we dive into the AMRAP Mentality by Jason Khalipa by discussing his newly released book, As Many Reps As Possible (https://www.amazon.com/As-Many-Reps-as-Possible-ebook/dp/B07MHSQ8XP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549565369&sr=8-1&keywords=amrap+mentality+jason+khalipa). Using the framework of an AMRAP, Jason has sought to extract as much as possible from the time he has in each day, and he encourages his readers to do the same. We discuss the AMRAP framework, specifically covering: Discovering and clearly knowing your why Focusing only on what you can control Working Hard Effectively shifting gears After action reviews Join us for the discussion and see how you can apply the AMRAP Mentality in and out of the gym.
We continue our focus on health this month by talking about Exercise. This is a great episode, especially if you set goals for yourself in 2019 to “be more healthy.” We talk about : Why the goal “I want to get in shape” won't get you anywhere Focusing on moving your body, not what you look like How to make exercise attractive How to find a support group/accountability partner for your fitness goals Breaking down big lofty goals (like running a race) into tiny achievable habits Using the power of the Ideal Week and non-negotiables to stick to you goals Our next book is As Many Reps As Possible by Jason Khalipa (https://www.amazon.com/As-Many-Reps-as-Possible-ebook/dp/B07MHSQ8XP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549565369&sr=8-1&keywords=amrap+mentality+jason+khalipa).
This month on the podcast, we will be focusing on Health - both physical fitness and nutrition. So we're starting the month off by focusing on nutrition, and since we both just read James Clear's Atomic Habits, we thought diving in and discussing habits for nutrition was the perfect next step. This is a great episode, especially if you set goals for yourself in 2019 to “be more healthy”. We talk about : Clarifying your goal so that it's actionable How to habit stack a new healthy eating goal How to design your environment to set yourself up for success Why you should start with a tiny change Ramping up your Successes Meal Planning Where and how to get support (from your partner or elsewhere) We've been getting some super great questions about the #familyhqcalendar, so we took a few moments to do a little Q&A about our family hub, and also why the Family HQ supports us as a family in our nutrition goals. Our next book is As Many Reps As Possible by Jason Khalipa (https://www.amazon.com/As-Many-Reps-as-Possible-ebook/dp/B07MHSQ8XP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549565369&sr=8-1&keywords=amrap+mentality+jason+khalipa).
