I first ran across Michelle James on Strong is the New Skinny on Facebook. Michelle has a great story and is a great inspiration no matter what your sport or goals. She pretty much says it all here, so I’ll just get right to Michelle and let her do the talking… -Adam Here’s Michelle James [...]

Nikki Rinaldi is not only passionate about being strong, she’s passionate about photographing strong women. [...]

It’s kind of a cliche to get all into “goals” around January 1. Personally, I look at the beginning of a new year as the time to review what I’ve done over the past year, evaluate my current goals, set new ones and redirect or alter my life course as necessary. I work with my [...]

Fitness Culture is Alive and Well in Connecticut… Wow! What a weekend! Honestly, I’m still recovering from The Beast of the East Fitness Festival that happened October 8 and 9th, 2011 on the Durham Fair Grounds in Durham, CT! It was a GREAT time! Besides all the CrossFit craziness at The Beast, it was [...]

Here’s a question from Raphael in Australia: “Hey Adam, Just came across your website (saw a link on the IKFF Facebook page). Some great articles to read – and just finished going through your ebook! Paul Chek’s book got me quite interested in general health. Then onto Mark’s Daily Apple, and other paleo resources. [...]
