Just Run

January 31, 2013 By Joel Runyon 9 Comments

Yesterday, I got an facebook message from a friend who's lost over 50 pounds on Impossible Abs and was having a hard time doing that day's workout. --- Michael: I want to run, but it's freaking raining out....what do I do? Me: Run Michael: It's pouring...like...literally downpour. Me: Well did you want to run? Michael: Ya, but only because it was convenient for me...I get it.

What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

January 22, 2013 By Joel Runyon 14 Comments

Every once in a while, you end up in territory you've never been before doing something you've never done before and you're completely lost. Completely. You literally have no idea what to do... It can be paralyzing. You're not quite sure what to do, because you simply don't know what to do... What do you do in that situation? To phrase it another way: What do you do when you don't know to do? What do you do? To be honest, I'm not quite sure, but ...

January 19, 2013 By Joel Runyon 28 Comments

This is a guest post by Vic Magary of FatLossForFree.com, my co-conspirator on Impossible Abs. So you've been watching what you eat and working out...

Stop Asking The Wrong Question

January 8, 2013 By Joel Runyon 11 Comments

Stop Asking The Wrong Question How much bread can I eat and still lose fat? How warm can my showers be? Can't I just spend an hour on the elliptical instead of doing 10 minutes of sprints? I get asked questions like this all the time. My response: Stop asking the wrong questions. Because if those are the questions you're asking – you're completely missing the point.

We’re Building A School In Guatemala ≠ Impossible

January 4, 2013 By Joel Runyon 20 Comments

We did it. We freaking did it. I remember shooting this video in LA back in July and wondering "What the heck amI getting myself into?" Apparently the answer was: An Awesome Adventure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvaQICpAcOM The goal was $25,000. We smashed that a week early (on Christmas no less), and raised $26,406 Because of you guys, 1,000 kids in Guatemala are literally going to have the chance to do something they thought might be ...
