Awesome, Zachary!  Love what you are doing with the after school program too.  Congrats on your hard work and keep going!  Love the cameo from Denise too -  awesome trainer and teacher, as are all of the Red Shirts.

Awesome Zachary! Thank you for sharing your story and L1 experience. I love hearing that you're able to enjoy doing stuff with your kids now. Your after school program is so important. How to move and what to eat are life lessons that will stick with those kids. Thanks for your work!

Great series.  Thank you.  One of the things that was also attributing to the increase in CHD, was the increase in cigarettes and smoking .  Eisenhower smoked 4 packs a day.  This might also have been the case with the US soldiers killed in the Korean War.  

Fascinating that you note John Gofman considered carbohydrates as a possibile underlying factor for CHD. What an interesting alternate history we'd be living today if only Ancel Keys were not so cunning in his takeover of CHD research!

With regards to President Eisenhower, in his farewell address at the end of his presidency, he warned of the dangers of the military-industrial complex:

“We must not fail to comprehend its grave implications we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence…The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

If only he had foreseen the dangers of the processed foods industry. America’s worst enemies couldn’t inflict even a fraction of the damage on the American people as our food and beverage companies have. That these companies have infiltrated the AHA, CDC and WHO is scandalous.

Did 200618 today and:

EMOM16

5 Burpees
15 Double Unders

Cheers.

Dang good squat form Mr. Lewis! Butt is going back and knees are staying out the whole way through, even on thrusters. I actually had two of the same instructors for my Level 1 back in March. Jen and Andrew Charlesworth. Both really good at what they do.

Tons and tons of mashing at the gym this morning. Well earned rest day.

I’m glad that someone realized today should be a rest day. My body is literal trash right now

Inspiring...so good to see Zak set an example for passing along "How to Move" and good eating habits to his grade school kids!

I could do this workout all day
