Recommended Website: Cross Fit
This week I am recommending Cross Fit. This is a site that I was introduced to a couple of years back and one that I am consistently using for workout routines. According to their site “Cross Fit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.” What makes their workouts so great is that they are adaptable to everybody by scaling back individual workouts when needed. Whether you’re a tri-athlete, weight lifter, beginner or just someone looking to stay in shape, Cross Fit offers new work outs on a daily basis that can be modified based upon individual need. One more reason I recommend the site can be attributed to the fact that they honor those that have served our country and have fallen in the line of duty by naming their most elite workouts after these heroes. The site offers new workouts 5 days a week with 2 rest days, which makes it really easy to schedule your workouts for the week. This site has grown tremendously in its short existence, over the years Cross Fit Centers have been popping up all around our nation, including 2 here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. To check out Cross Fit, simply go to http://www.crossfit.com/.

Recommended Website: Steve Pavilina
Today I am recommending the website Steve Pavlina.com. Steve’s website is geared toward helping people live the lives they were truly meant to live. He does this by offering mainly free resources that offer tools for his readers to better themselves.
Steve’s story is quite unique. According to his site, Steve realized he was on the wrong path in life while he was sitting in a jail cell for felony grand theft at the age of 19. Upon this realization, Steve made some drastic changes in his life. He went back to college and earned degrees in computer science and mathematics, went on to create a successful software company, ran the Los Angeles Marathon and created a widely successful personal growth website.
To me, Steve’s story certainly sends the message that we are all responsible for the way our lives develop. Steve, certainly was not happy with the path his life was on so he changed course, so can you. I would recommend checking out Steve’s website at www.stevepavlina.com if you’re looking for someone to motivate and inspire you.

Recommended Website: Simple Truths
This week I am recommending Simple Truths. This site is pretty unique. I first heard about it through my wife Katie. The site specializes in providing inspirational gifts, particularly books. According to their website “the books can be read in less than thirty minutes.” Three elements that Simple Truths focus upon include: great content, great graphics and great packaging. I love the message this site sends, and that is one of simple truths. Something else that is quite unique about Simple Truths is that they do not allow their books to be sold through any book stores or other retail vendors. If you are looking for a source of inspiration, or looking to give a special gift to someone close to you check our Simple Truths at http://www.simpletruths.com

Recommended Blog: Seth Godin…
Seth Godin writes a blog that basically covers all things marketing. According to his site “he writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything”. He is the author of numerous books such as “Linchpin”, “Purple Cow”, “Tribes” and also “The Dip”, which was previously reviewed on our site. I find Seth’s daily blog incredibly interesting, and so do most other people seeing as how his blog is one of the most popular on the Internet. In fact Seth’s blogs are so powerful that he packages his blogs into books and sells them. I would highly recommend that you check out Seth Godin’s blog which can be found at sethgodin.typepad.com.

Recommended Website: Pick the Brain
Today I am recommending the website Pick The Brain. I stumbled upon this website a couple of days ago. I was searching for websites that focus on personal development. Not only do I like recommending these types of sites but they are the types of websites that I visit on a daily basis to keep myself motivated and focused. As it turns our “Pick The Brain.com has become one of the fastest growing self improvement sites on the web according to their site.” Instead of focusing upon a small element of personal growth, Pick The Brain.com takes a much more expansive approach to helping people improve their lives. They do this by providing a variety of information geared towards personal growth, while focusing on 5 categories that include personal productivity, motivation, self education, psychology, and philosophy. Check out this wonderful website filled with personal development tools at http://www.pickthebrain.com/.
