My biceps were shaking so fast I thought they might detach from the bone. My mind keep chanting “relax, loosen your grip and look far ahead where you want to go.” Over and over again I would say in my head; “relax, loosen, look ahead, relax, loosen, look ahead.”...

A few months back, we worked a CrossFit Level 1 Seminar on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.  Cherie and I arrived a little early to enjoy some time in the water, on the beach, and in the sun.  In addition to getting to workout at CrossFit Oahu, we were challenged to try a local workout at the...

Welcome to the Chan home! We hope you like our quick tour. Well it is a far cry from our 1100sqft home in Denver, we have quickly learned to live with less.  It’s actually liberating to know when you go into a store that you can’t buy something unless you really LOVE it. Next we...

It was eight weeks since I’d squatted in a workout, but two weeks ago I did “Angie”.  Why hadn’t I squatted in so long you might ask.  Well, squatting below parallel is one of many exercises that was causing an abnormal amount of pain in my knees that only occurred...

Though the Airstream didn’t make the trip, we thought we’d update you on our most recent excursion.  Reebok asked us to come to Korea to teach some classes, do a local throwdown, and experience the growing community of CrossFitters… that’s sounds good to us.  We...

We field questions often about eating while traveling.  Cherie and I spend three days a week in taxis, airports, rental cars, and hotels.  Rarely is there time to cook a meal on these days, so eating out would appear to be the only option.  Does that mean our travel days automatically turn...

While in Vegas, we’ve been hitting up Zach Forrest’s gym CrossFit MaxEffort .  We’ve been having a blast with the crew there and want to send a big THANK YOU, for letting us train with them. Here is a snip-it from Max Effort! After a full training session, Zach ropes Matt...

After leaving Denver, we had a short stop in Santa Fe where we spent our first night in the Airstream.  We pulled off into a rest area just outside the city, which wasn’t ideal, but it did get us some needed shut eye. After an eight hour nap, we decided to shove off for Flagstaff,...

#TheEternalPursuit The eternal pursuit of excellence is something that weighs heavily on every human’s mind. We spend our lives seeking to be the best that we can be in the things that make us happiest. Whether that’s true love, career, material goods, children, travel,...
