At StoneAge Athletics we define "fitness" as the ability to DO...whatever it is you set out to do.
Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck is one of the best examples of what we mean. His goals may not appeal to everyone, but his results speak for themselves, and for what it takes to accomplish "impossible" things.
Just some fun facts. The Eiger's north face is 5,900 feet high. That is a vertical mile. It has killed 64 people since it was first climbed in 1938 earning it the nickname "Mordwand" or Death wall. Ueli's time of 2 hours and 50ish minutes means he was climbing an average of 34 vertical feet per minute up steep dangerous terrain to a summit that is 13,000 feet above sea level...
This one is longer but gets into his training and mindset more.

Ido Portal
Ido Portal is badass. We have been big fans since first discovering him through Robb Wolf and Ido's website. He is a Martial Artist, Dancer, Capoerista, and master of some pretty impressive skills. The results of his focus on movement quality and creativity are a big part of the reason we organize our training the way we do.
For your inspiration and amazement we have collected a couple of our favorite videos...

Art DeVany Speaks
For those of you unfamiliar with him, a quick bio from his website arthurdevany.com
"Called "Superman's slightly fitter grandad" by the London Times and a "patriarch of the Paleo Movement" in the New York Times, 73 year old Arthur De Vany is a scientist/athlete and the creator of Evolutionary Fitness, the first integrated model of Paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and exercise. A former professional athlete and life-long student of exercise and metabolism, he is a living example of what he teaches: at the age of 72 he is 6'1", 205 pounds and has less than 8% body fat. He has lived as a Paleo/Athlete for more than 25 years." (emphasis mine)
I Found and very much enjoyed this clip of his lecture on ZURICH.MINDS. Its science-y but really cool.
Check it out.

Bug Out!
It is a socially awkward, but biologically interesting fact that we as humans tend to lose our ability to produce the enzymes that digest dairy, but retain to this day the ability to consume and breakdown insects, shell and all.
