The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram Your Genes for Effortless Weight Loss, Vibrant Health and Boundless Energy, by Mark Sisson
- This book, and Mark Sisson's website, Mark's Daily Apple, totally transformed my way of thinking about food and how to eat. I haven't had this much fun with and enjoyment in eating in a very, very long time. I mean, I get to enjoy bacon again!

Grinder Strength Pull-Ups, By Brad McLeod
- This was the book that introduced me to Brad; I stumbled across his website (www.sealgrinderpt.com) shortly after starting CrossFit. I was dismayed to learn how many pull-ups there were in CrossFit, nor did I even know how to properly do one. He does a great job taking you from zero pull-ups to moving into more advanced ones (I confess...I'm still only able to do a few at a time).
- Chock full of entirely body weight exercises. Nary a gym in site.
DVDs
Yoga
Fluid Power -- With Shiva Rea. Terrific resource, and definitely a "grow-with-me" DVD. What's really neat about it, is that you can either do her preset routines, or use the interactive grid and put together your own routines.
Yoga Shakti -- With Shiva Rea. Another favorite, and also "grow-with-me". Also either preset routines or an interactive grid to build your own.
Lunar Flow -- With Shiva Rea. Some repeats from Yoga Shakti, but also a few new things. Shorter. But also with either preset routines or an interactive grid.
Radiant Heart -- With Shiva Rea. Short routine. No interactive grid, but still a favorite of mine. However, you can select just one of the routines.
Trance Dance -- With Shiva Rea. Yoga and dancing. Preset routines or an interactive grid.
Creative Core Abs -- With Shiva Rea. Oof! But an awesome "oof"! No interactive grid, but you can select just one to play if you like.
The Shiva Rea DVDs were a gem to find.
I'd been taking yoga at my gym, and wanted more, but didn't want to join
a studio (more expense, and the classes were tough to fit around my
schedule). I stumbled across her at Border's one afternoon and loved
it. I learned so much from these DVDs, that I can now do yoga routines
on my own.
Home Fitness
P90X Home Fitness -- I haven't tried this myself, but I've heard lots of great things about it. Like CrossFit and the training I get from my coach, Brad McLeod, it works around "muscle confusion" to keep the body guessing and for you to get continual gains. Here is a link to the website's FAQ for more information.
Jillian Michels -- I have not tried her DVDs, either -- but I do follow her newsletter and she gives great information. She's tough, but very down-to-earth and it's obvious she cares very much about her clients and followers.
Richard Simmons -- You know, sometimes you just have to go with the classics.
