First off I would like to say Welcome back to the NP Virginia Beach blog. It has been longer than I would care to admit since we last matched a blog to a workout photo album. BUT. either way just like an old tribe member who we have not seen for reasons we do not know.. IT. IS. OKAY. We will welcome you and the blog back with open arms. read more

It is the Christmas and Holiday Season (the most wonderful time of the year) so we decided to have a Friday Pop-Up on the eve of Christmas Eve.

We played 3 Reindeer Games.

1. Reindeer Sprints to the North Pole. We formed our Sleigh and Red Rudolph led the pace around half of the park. We ended up driving a little questionable and did some circles in the dark at the top of the mountain.
2. We played war of the presents. The goal was to get all of your presents (read tennis balls) placed under your opponents tree (read cone) THE GREEN TEAM WON!
3. We finished the workout with some good ole fashioned #hillsforbreakfast — Harvard Stadium style. There was a lot of WOOOOOOO’s this morning but I must say John Hartzell has the best one. It is comparable to Ric Flair. “John we start the race on your count”, followed quickly by nothing but “WOOOOOOOO — GO!!!!!”

Moving forward, eat as many cookies as you can this weekend and plan for a special New Years #PRDay next week! The PR Day of all PRDays. The last Wednesday of the Year! I will update the PR Day master Spreadsheet.. soon? & upload to the NPVB social page. read more

High Score. Did I break? Today we played games. We played Connect 4 with humans.

We started with a 6 X 7 board on the side of the hill. Each column represented a different workout. Push-ups, Burpees, Planks, etc. We got creative and stayed connected.

This weekend is the surf & santa 5 miler. If you are in town and plan on running we are having a tagging session to tag NP on all the santa suits. Keep your eyes peeled for information in the social about when and where we are tagging. read more

You know what they say.. Early bird, gets the worm.. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.. & in 2016 people just say Netflix & Chill.

This morning was one of those Ninja Mornings. Black Friday sale on lifetime memberships to November Project. We wore all black, we barely spoke, & we had a Silent Bounce to the sound of silent night. We stayed mobile and moved swiftly. We covered almost all the nooks & crannies that Town Center has to offer. read more

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everybody who supports us from afar (aka social media only – you know who you are, and we still love you), thank you to everybody who just shows up week after week (#wecouldntdoitwithoutyou), & thank you to anybody who has ever been involved with #NP_VB. Your contributions to this community do not go unnoticed. This past month has been a blur (the good kind) & just another reminder of how #thisshitisgood. read more

Wisconsin Notes:

A new chapter in the NP_VB history books started today. Barry Clark is the newest Co-Leader of this FreeFitness Movement and I couldn’t be more HYPED about whats to come next. We got big some big plans for ya VB. #WorldTakover #FillTheStairs

Today was a classic NP PRDay morning. It started off in the darkness and then as you ran faster so did the sun. Before you knew it, you woke up the sun by climbing all those stairs! read more

So it has been raining non-stop for the past 48? hours. Seems like it. I am talking buckets of rain, solid downpours for hours at a time and in some areas they have received totals in 12″+

SO did we decide to stay home and let the winter layers start building (accelerated by all thing pumpkin, corn, fall —INSERT LUKE BRYAN). NO (well some of you did) For the rest of us, we are #Weatherproof. We were kids again playing in the rain. In true NP fashion (WE NEVER CANCEL WORKOUT) We began runing around the full loop (1.25-1.5 miles) of MT Trashmore in indian sprint formation. By the time we got on the far side, about half way around lake trashmore, we ran through – what had to be a HUGE puddle (really just an extension of the lake). Probably 1 foot deep and 50 yards to the other side. The puddle was probably my favorite part of the run (we should have just stayed there and done burpees until John H and Jen showed up.) read more
