For all of the fitness lovers out there check the Reebok Spartan Races. These races involve obstacles that will test your strength, speed, and agility. I personally love the idea of getting outside, getting dirty, and most importantly, participating in an activity that will support your healthy lifestyle with other like-minded individuals.

“Spartan Race and NBC Sports Network are collaborating on a television special which will feature the World Championship and focus on the sport of obstacle racing. This event, the culmination of the 2013 Reebok Spartan Race Series, will take place on September 21-22, 2013, in scenic central Vermont, near Spartan Race HQ in Pittsfield.

Tens of thousands of obstacle racing competitors and enthusiasts from around the world will converge on New England, where $250,000 in cash and prizes will be on the line. At the World Championship, top-ranked Reebok Spartan Race athletes, Olympians, and amateur athletes alike will compete side-by-side, assuming they have the brawn, guts and intestinal fortitude.

Spartan Race has partnered with NBC Sports Group to chronicle the amazing people and stories behind the race series and the World Championship, culminating in a 90-minute TV special that will air on the NBC Sports Network on October 19, 2013.” – From their website.

I personally love learning about fitness and health from real stories. For me, these stories give me  inspiration for my own health journey. Plus, they tend to stay in my long-term memory better than a book full of facts. Not that I don’t love those too. In fact, I am currently reading The Hormone Diet and Vitamin  K2 and the Calcium Paradox and I just downloaded an audio book on Vitamin D3 so I should have some awesome posts soon.
