This blog will cover all city and statewide bodybuilding competitions and the out-of-state guest posers. Weight-loss success stories from local people, features/bios on bodybuilding, fitness and figure competitors, coverage of fad diets. Nutritious recipes and reviews on local gyms and health food stores. I would also like to cover Adult/Childhood Obesity in America and specifically,Alaska. Weight-lifting techniques/safety as well as the benefits for women. This is just a general idea, as the blog will be constantly evolving.
I competed in my first bodybuilding competition as a senior at East High in 2000 and after winning the overall title, bodybuilding and fitness became my passion. I've been a NASM certified personal trainer since 2004 and I love helping people achieve their goals with fitness and proper nutrition. My overall bodybuilding titles include: Ms. Anchorage 2006 and The Anchorage Crystal Cup 2007. I have lived in Anchorage since 1988.

Regular sprints aren't challenging enough, so I run them hauling a 50lb. tire behind me. My clients get to do the same. To make it even more challenging, I time their sprints so they can break their own records or someone else's.
Tire pullin' sprints
Running sprints with some form of resistance attached to you; whether it be a tire, weighted-vest or parachute (yes that is a real method of training), will have you breathing oxygen harder than ever before. Your lungs will be on fire and your legs will be burning as well.
Although hauling a tire around sounds a bit unorthodox, I've found it to be very effective at improving cardiovascular strength as well as hamstring, calf and glute strength and endurance. Ditch the treadmill for a week and trade it for your backyard and an all-terrain truck tire, the neighbors will think you are nuts- but hey, you'll be in great shape!

Jack Crabb is about 100
Jack Crabb is about 100 years old as the film begins. A collector of oral histories asks him about his past. He recounts being captured and raised by indians, becoming a gunslinger, marrying an indian, watching her killed by General George Armstrong Custer, and becoming a scout for him at Little Big Horn.
