On a weekly basis Nightline becomes your fitness connection for an hour.

Marcus Smith joins us on the show to help you unpack those things that are on your mind about the fitness universe, that is frankly over complicated.

What makes this show worth a listen is the fact that we dive into your questions but we also take a good hard look at what others are saying online.

The notes.

-1st show since the Marathon that we do together
-you are back from the epic bike v truck incident, remarkable the speed of getting going but not surprising.  Appreciate the heads up and that you are back on the show.  We don’t need to talk about the accident.  But maybe without context we can talk about being hyper aware on the roads as everyone is trying to kill you.

Little tweaks to the website looks nice.


-Are you surprised by the amount of non-clean food in our health care facilities?

-how to prep for 1st crossfit comp
