Who is Giavanni Ruffin you ask? He is a football player and someone I guarantee you have seen but didn’t know who he was. He is someone we all should look to for motivation and he is someone who has never stopped chasing his dream despite adversity. He is a real role model. He just isn’t in the NFL...yet.
To start off Ruffin is a football player with a lot of ambition and claims to “take no days off.” Ruffin is 23 and played at a low level college because of his grades. To make it worse apparently he was benched behind a returning player when he joined the squad. According to his website http://www.giavanniruffin.com He was put in to the teams sixth game for his chance to be able to prove his worthyness on the field and that he did. With averaging 153.6 yards per game and rushing for 768 while carrying 11 TD’s in just five games. Eventually he transferred to East Carolina where he got into some trouble with the police and was suspended from the football program. This life lesson taught him the meaning of all around athlete and showed him that what you do off the field affects what happens on the field. He was left out of the NFL draft and was a virtual no name.
With all of this the man never got discouraged and he used his experience as motivation to out work his peers. He never gave up on his dream of making the NFL, and too this day he works extremely hard at making this goal become reality. Giavanni explains on his site that, "twenty-three Pro Bowlers were undrafted free agents last year so, it's something to work for."
Now why does he train it right and how you probably know who he is but didn’t know his name; A video that his friend shot of Ruffin’s intense training went viral. The video motivates, hypes you up and makes you question your own work ethic and asks you…how bad do you want it? The video that went viral is narrated by a motivational speaker named Eric Thomas aka the Hip Hop Preacher.
Now there is a part 2 that motivates you even further because the work never stops.
His drive and mission statement “take no days off” inspired him to create a clothing company that has boomed #TNDO is the hashtag on twitter. Many of us use this term, I know I do. I just didn’t know where it came from. He also has been releasing a documentary that now has 4 parts. You can watch them on his website on the landing page before enter. It really shows you inside his life even more about who he is, what he does, what he wants, and what drives and motivates him.
Who is DeStorm Power? When I first met him I thought he was slightly crazy but soon found out he is an internet genius, fitness phenom, creates all of his own music, jumps cars and takes on challenges. Not your usual combination but it seems to work for him and “the people” love it. He calls his fans and admirers “the people” and his catch phrase that he begins all of his videos on Youtube with is “Wassup world!?!?” Not only is he an artist and athlete of sorts but he inspired me so much and is the reason why I started to pursue my own career further.
Destorm according to his Wikipedia page is the 55th most subscribed to user and the the 16th most subscribed to musician. His youtube accomplishments speak for themselves. He has more than 200 videos that have been watched close to 200 million times. He started his career in music by interning and ghostwriting for Atlantic, Universal and other record labels according to his Wikipedia page. Destorm recently released a mixtape entitled “Be Careful” which he released in May of this year.
Where fitness is concerned he can be seen posting fitness videos often and tweeting about how summertime is coming and trying to motivate people to get off the couch. DeStorm himself was a former triple jumper and even was a personal trainer at one point. All his fitness and workout videos are inspirational. I even got to shoot a hilarious video with him where we were running all around North Hollywood.
I had the chance to workout with Destorm at a Hollywood gym and he goes hard. He runs about 3 miles to the gym and back from his home. Once he reaches the gym the hard core fitness phenom performs a number of circuits using the bosu, free weights and machines. He takes little rest by performing active recovery between his sets. That means his rest is another exercise. One of his favorite exercises is a single leg deadlift on an overturned bosu.

Did you know that the President use to smoke? He has kicked the nasty habit and is now an avid exerciser who keeps his diet healthy. President Obama is not the first politician who is dedicated to fitness. Bill Clinton was also an avid exerciser. He was famous for his running along side his secret service. Even though the current President of the United States of America is a busy man his trainer says that “busy people can realistically integrate fitness into their lives because it's a mental thing.” If the Obama's can find time for fitness so can you.
The presidents personal trainer is a man named Cornell McClellan who splits his time between Chicago and Washington. Obama is known to start every day with a morning workout no matter where he is. This has been known to include machines at hotel gyms or even outside for a run. Cornell states "If we're short on time, we try to mix things up." He goes on to say "We will try to make sure there's some high-intensity stuff. We might do some weights, throw some cardio in there and throw some plyometrics in there with abs. We go from one thing he needs to another, because his time is short."
Cornell is also credited with the “Michelle Obama Arms.” Every admires how perfectly toned her arms are. Her arms even inspired Cornell to do exercise DVDs on how to get toned arms just like the first lady. Michelle is now actively involved in getting America moving and is a health and fitness advocate. This is very inspiring and motivating for young women and adults alike to get active and healthy. More can be found out on the government website: http://www.letsmove.gov/
Obama is a prime example of how we all should be, ACTIVE. He is also a huge basketball player and fan. Obama was talking about the main reason he plays basket ball and states that he does it "...just to clear my head and relieve me of stress.” Exercise in any form is a great stress relief. Way to go Obama!
