Movement category – don’t think of it as exercise, think of every movement your body does all day long, as well as night!
One of the biggest challenges I’ve found for people who like to keep moving all day is finding clothes that allow you to do that. I know it’s been a big issue for me over the years, especially with pants. Most pants either look nice, but are stiff, or they…
So… this is a tough one for me to write. We all like to think we have things under control, but for a while now I really haven’t had them so. And it all comes down to being a little lazy and a little dishonest with myself. It’s tough to…
A belated Happy New Year to everyone from Mudlife Crisis! I hope everything has started off well for you and you’re sticking to your goals and resolutions. I, for one, have gotten one of my resolutions off to a great start, and I’m doing it with a new trainer and…

Since starting to do the weekly #OCRChat on Twitter a few months ago, I’ve been chatting with a fellow named Johnny Stinson, a budding obstacle racer from Ontario. He told me about how he was looking forward to doing his first Spartan Race and was voraciously gathering information on best practices for…
