Your OrangeTheory Class As Told By Major League Baseball

The amount of facial expression you give your coach when he/she is not looking is exponential.

OrangeTheorists, please do not get offended, for I know this is how you all feel.

When your coach tells you that it is a 2000 meter benchmark row day.

When you realize it is Orange Everest day and you are going to have to hear your coach tell you that you are going downhill.

Going from 15% incline to a 14% incline is not going downhill!

When your coach tells you to grab a heavier weight.

Even though you know that you probably should grab a heavier weight.

When you think about just walking out of the class but then you see all of the motivational quotes on the wall.

Yay me, I guess.

When "Stronger" by Kanye West comes on.

I know whenever that song plays, I automatically do not feel like I am dying anymore.

When you and your coach high five because you both thought you were going to die.

It's finally over.

That mom squad that thinks they are the yoga queens when everyone is stretching.

When your coach announces that Lululemon is doing a special sale just for OrangeTheory members.

When you leave and think about how glad you are that you did not die.

 When you see your performance summary and you needed one more splat point to get the "afterburn."

I know it might not seem like it, but I really do enjoy going to Orangetheory Fitness (sometimes).

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
