Eating Bugs, Weight and Functional Training for the Legs

I wanted to take a moment and recognize a friend and co-instructor at NOLS who is trying to change our culture to make the world a better place for future generations. His name is Pat Crowley and he started Chapul Protein Bars. Pat is trying to get Americans to get over the "plate fright" of eating bugs and has made a really great and sustainable protein bar to meet that goal. I could explain it, or you could watch Pat explain it himself in this TED talk: Can Eating Insects Solve the Global Issues in an Ever-Changing World? Check it out!

Today's workout involved some classic weight training and an evening functional training session.
