My Motivation for this Week

This video really puts things into perspective for me. I watch these videos at the beginning of the week while stretching at 5am before I head out on my run. Trust me! watch them to this before you go running, or biking, or lifting…I guarantee it will help release that inner beast inside you, it’ll have you working out like Usain Bolt or Sam Whittingham or even Annie Thor.

This video featuring Giavanni Ruffin (running back for East Carolina).
