Safe Suffering

Making time for what matters most is a skill we all need to develop. Whether it’s time with your kids or your fitness, important priorities in your life are often second in line behind work and other non-life-impacting activities. Set yourself up for success this week by making one simple action - putting your priorities on the calendar.

We'll be so bold and say taping your mouth shut when you sleep could be the most beneficial health hack from a cost per impact perspective. It's cheap and it's a game changer. If you snore or have nasal congestion, your life is about to take a turn. We also talk about training with your mouth closed and eating, yes eating, with your mouth closed. If you want to sleep better, feel better, and improve your relationship, please have a listen.

A couple of years ago we changed our name from 2020 CrossFit to 2020 Fitness. Though a lot has changed since then, much remains the same. The goal of our program has been, and always will be, to make our clients the best versions of themselves. We have the best tools in the business at our disposal and though the name on the wall might not say "CrossFit", this remains the best tool out there - in general. The beautiful thing about "CrossFit" is we can scale it, change it, adapt to anything we want it to be, so long as it makes people better.

We all love supplements. Many of us use them to help get from point A to point B more efficiently or to make up for poor nutrition or lifestyle choices that leave a little to be desired. This week we dig into what Jeremy and Jon are taking and what the best supplement of all is.

This week we want to turn the tables as it relates to your focus on nutrition. Our goal is to help people become more excited about how great they feel eating clean rather than being excited to eat low or no quality food. It steams from the Whole30 where after about a week for most people, you start to feel really amazing, clear-headed, etc. It's our goal that people someday crave this amazing feeling more than the craving we get from sugar. Optimistic yes, but we see it happening on a daily basis.

Can you do it alone? Possibly. Are you more likely to be successful with the support of others? 100%. Hear us out this week as we beg you to find an accountability partner at the gym and in your overall pursuit of health. Improve your likelihood of succeeding by creating the right team and the rest will be history. As the Beatles once said, "I get by with a little help from my friends."

Motivation only last so long. Having a reason outside yourself is vital to anyone’s long term success and this week we take a quick jaunt into the topic of having a fitness buddy and what we’re doing at 2020 this month to make it systematic for our clients.

Shoes are an important component of one's training and not to mention fashion sense. This week we dig into different brands of shoes, the positives and negatives of each and what type of shoe is best for what type of training. If you need an excuse for a new pair of kicks, we hope to give that to you this week!

This week I sit down with Kevin Ward, the co-founder of SwingFit, as he shares the secret to shooting under par and everything you'll ever need to know to play great golf. As much as I wish that were true, Kevin shares a bit of his story coming up in the game of golf, playing at KU and then on the pro tour, and how he now uses his experience to help others not only play better but to feel better from the work they're doing in the gym.

What does it take to do an Ironman? This week we sit down with Andrew Komer, who just became a 4x Ironman by completing Ironman Lake Placid. He shares with us the story of how he got hooked on the training and how the challenge of the Ironman has made relatively difficult tasks easier by comparison.
