Wanna go out back and toss the ball around?

No guts, No glory

We’re deep into autumn with Thanksgiving just around the corner, and that can only mean that we are way overdue to play some football!! So grab your helmet and meet us at the 50 yard line.

The Coin Toss

Here is how this is going to play out. We’ve got 4 rounds, 7 minutes each. We’re going to call these the 4 quarters! Each quarter, you’ll have 4 moves to choose from. Each rep you do will equal 1 yard. 10 reps will equal 1 down. 4 downs will equal 1 touch down and you’ll celebrate by doing 3 push ups! That’s the base of each quarter. We’ll change up the moves each quarter and add some fun things but that’s the base. Ready for the kick off?? read more

Can You Survive Until Sunrise?

Part Zombie Apocalypse, all workout

You almost can’t remember a time when they weren’t a part of your life. Back in the day before that chemical spill and the resulting toxic cloud turned half your small town into something…unspeakable. Even worse, the government has just put your town into quarantine and left you to fend for yourselves, hoping the problem will “take care of itself”. Given your remote location in the mountains, they’re sure they can resolve this quietly.
But that’s not how you’re willing to play this. You all are not going to let your town go down without a fight.  read more

YOU NEED TO READ THIS(Ottawa)

Ah the sweet sound of a bounce dedicated to PR DAY. Ah why yes that was this morning. As the holidays begin to approach like black flies while camping deep in the woods we have some suggestions to make these times that much more memorable.

First of all, put down the Deet as you are not camping and it’s minus 5 out there. We live in Ottawa so one needs to make sure you dress appropriately for all outdoor winter activities. Outdoor winter activities you say, eh? Here are a couple we can suggest off hand: read more

NPHK Guest Blog By Philip Lo, NPHK Legend

People of my age realized that when we were young, by and large we earned our living at the expense of our health/ fitness: work, business travel and family pressure did not give one much free time.  When we were old enough to retire, we tried to buy a little health/ fitness. Furthermore, the fitness industry was quite sketchy 30/40 years ago with its service providers lacking in quantity and quality.  Therefore I signed up with a personal trainer in a local gym and began training in 2014, when I was 62.  That was probably one of the best investment in my life.  I thought that I was at my fittest in 30+ years – not that I was very fit now (and far from it), but that I was so unfit in my younger days. read more

Taking a Deeper Look (SD)

Today we take a moment to learn just a bit more about two people who chose to be members of our NPSD community. We all know life isn’t sunshine and rainbows everyday (even in San Diego) and these two both understand how life isn’t about being the best. It’s about how we persevere and just keep moving. read more

The Family I Never Knew I Had

Did somebody say Traverbal? What…? Is that even a word? Did I just vomit a word into that opening sentence? Maybe? It’s fine. It’s a word. It’s a word that describes one of the things I’ve learned to love to do. If Webster was to create a dictionary definition of the word it would sound like this. Traverbal: To do cool, fun, crazy, random shit that makes you sweat with other crazy, fun, random people all around the world. Often very early in the morning, when the regular people of the world are busy sleeping. Oh, and you bring a passport shirt, or blanket, or both. Maybe even a puppy sweater. A hat? Anything you want. Then you get it spray painted with the unique tag of that location, it’s kinda cool. Mine’s the best for sure (shout out Joel to tie-dyeing my shirt for me in LA). read more
