No, this is not a recipe post, and I didn’t misspell “stock.”
Time wasn’t always of the essence in the Paleolithic. Sometimes, one had to exercise caution and proceed unseen and unheard. Take the hunt, for example. Crashing through the brush with a high-speed Grok crawl sprint is a terrible way to sneak up on prey. Stalking an animal with hypersensitive ears and nose precludes raw (human quality) speed and surprise from being effective. If Grok wanted to get in range to make the kill, he had to crawl slowly.
This week, you’re going to be performing a painfully slow and drawn-out five-minute crawl. Crawl-sprinting is tough enough, but at least it’s over quickly; going as slowly and quietly as you can takes serious strength and stamina, and it […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
