We at train it right are huge fans of Giavanni Ruffin. Maybe someday we will rock some TNDO (Take No Days Off) apparel. But for now we leave you with some amazing footwork he has posted on his Youtube for his NFL Prep.

Nike has launched a "Find your greatness" campaign in unison with London 2012 Olympics.Greatness isn't reserved for the chosen few in one special city, it can also be found in London, Ohio, and London, Norway, and East London, South Africa, and Little London, Jamaica, and Small London, Nigeria and the London Hotel and London Road and anywhere else someone is trying to find it.

Check out the video below. Thoughts?

Carrie Underwood has one of the strongest voices in the music industry today. However, she is probably one of the strongest physically as well. She has gone from shy and innocent sort of chubby American Idol girl to a strong and toned woman. Carrie has transformed herself through a healthy vegan diet and regular fitness routine. According to Fit Sugar, "w hen touring, the singer travels with her own fridge stocked to the brim with healthy items; this helps her avoid dining out or relying on all that catered food. Her go-to breakfast when on the road? Fiber-rich oatmeal! She also brings a stash of healthy snacks."

Some of Carries Secrets:

Food Tracking

Cardio 6x a Week

Strength Training (including kettle bells)

Carrie has been quoted saying "There's just something sexy about feeling strong." And she is right!

Brandon Jennings of the NBA knows how to train it right. You get a look into his life in his Under The Armour Series on Youtube. Today he released his first episode of his second season. Check it out:

If there is one person who is worth his pay check I would say that it is the NFL's Baltimore Ravens marquee running back, Ray Rice. Ray stands at 5"8 and averages around 212 pounds. He is a work horse by any athletic standards. According to recent reports ray signed a huge $40 million dollar contract with the Ravens with $17 in the first year and $25 after year two.

To be worth that much you need to make sure your off season training is not lacking. During the off season Ray was writing on Twitter about his 5:15 a.m. workouts, and he recently linked to a video that shows him running up and down bleachers with a weighted vest on. He's definitely in good shape and ready for his season.

During Ray's off season when he is not getting up at the break of dawn for his first workout of the day Ray can be found giving back to the city of Baltimore's Youth. You can check him out on his official website RayRice27 giving back to the city that has been his NFL home.

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.

His two youtube channels are https://www.youtube.com/user/DeStorm and https://www.youtube.com/user/DeStormTV
