Had a great time chatting it up with Tommy Long in the BullfrogFit Studio. We talk about making the jump from alcohol into fitness. What talk about it takes to stay focused and motivated to keep going to the gym. We walk about the struggles & successes with diet & nutrition.

This is a great episode that I think everyone can take something away from.

Thank you Tommy!

Kelly's full Bio:

Kelly Starrett, DPT is a coach, physical therapist, author, and speaker. Along with his wife Juliet, Kelly is co-founder of The Ready State. The Ready State began as Mobility|WOD in 2008 and has gone on to revolutionize the field of performance therapy and self-care. Kelly received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2007 from Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, California.

Kelly’s clients include professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. He also works with Olympic gold-medalists, Tour de France cyclists, world-and national-record-holding Olympic lifting and power athletes, CrossFit Games medalists, ballet dancers, military personnel, and competitive age-division athletes.

Kelly is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Becoming A Supple Leopard and Ready to Run. He is also co-author (with Juliet) of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Deskbound. His latest book, Waterman 2.0, offers water-sport athletes a comprehensive guide to optimized movement and pain-free performance.

Kelly and his work have been featured on 60 Minutes, The View, The Joe Rogan Experience, CBS Sports, Outside Magazine, Men's Health, Men's Journal and dozens of other podcasts, magazines, and books — including Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Body and Tools of Titans.

On top of co-founding The Ready State, Kelly and Juliet also started San Francisco CrossFit and StandUpKids together.

Founded in 2005, San Francisco CrossFit was the 21st CrossFit affiliate in the world.

To date, StandUpKids has converted 95,000 kids from sitting to standing. Earlier in their careers, Kelly and Juliet also co-founded a kayaking camp for children with HIV called Liquid.

In his athletic career, Kelly paddled whitewater slalom canoe on the US Canoe and Kayak Teams. He lead the Men’s Whitewater Rafting Team to two national titles and competed in two World Championships. In his free time, “KStar” likes to spend time with his wife, Juliet, and two

daughters, Georgia and Caroline. He also loves to mountain bike, paddle, and sauna. And while Kelly claims to only “tolerate” the ice bath, according to Juliet he actually likes that, too.

Had a great time chopping it up with Josh. We talk fitness & all things CBD. We talk production & cultivating as well as the medical and performance aspects of it. Had a lot of fun with this episode. Hope you guys enjoy!

Summary:"The Invictus Boston Invitational is in its 5th season of competition. The Invitational is a competition hosted by Bern K. Prince of Invictus Boston. The concept of the Invitational is to display how fitness can create a community of individuals that all cultures, backgrounds, and ages can gather and celebrate the sport of Crossfit. This year the Invitational has created a book club.
The theme “Book Club'' is intended to allow every competitor to write their own story. Playing off of some classic novels, such as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Shining, inspired names for the qualifier workouts, which are as impactful to the mind and body as the novels are. Every competitor's journey brings along a story as to what brought them to the Invitational. While testing who the fittest on the floor is, the intention is that these competitors can read their story to the community.
Crossfit has saved many lives. It has created relationships, friendships, and athletes of a unique caliber. While at the Invitational, walk in with the mindset that every athlete, spectator, photographer all all gathered together to celebrate the same passion for the sport of Crossfit. Write your own story, while uplifting others to write theirs.
