I really love the Olympics and though I’m not usually a fan of sports spectating (I’d rather be doing it myself), this is always one epic event that I can’t bear to miss — my DVR is going to be working in overdrive. Thinking about the Sochi Winter Olympic Games got me feeling nostalgic for my role as a torchbearer for the XIX Winter Olympic Games — it’s hard to believe it was 12 years ago!

I wrote a post about my experience for Core Power; if you are interested, go check it out! Oh, by the way, this great company is the official protein drink of the Sochi Olympics! And right now you can get $5 off a case of Core Power through Amazon.com.

Olympic athletes aren’t the only ones who need a good workout. Pretty sure I’m never going to be bustin’ down the track and jumping into a bobsled, but I still want to stay in my version of gold-medal shape for all my amateur-hour adventures. I put together this fun but challenging workout in honor of the Winter Olympics past, present and future! I think you’ll FEEL THE BURN!

So, what is your favorite event to watch in the Winter Olympics? I get excited for Freestyle Skiing and Speed Skating!
