About

Hi I'm James, and welcome to Ninja For Life! I've always loved climbing and challenges. Traditional team sports not so much, although soccer is high up there. 

As a teenager I played excessive hours of video games. I once reached the top 10 in the Quake 2 CTF (capture the flag) leaderboards. My gamer tag was "Rocketman," and I fragged my share with the rocket launcher – although grappling across with the flag and shooting those that got in my way with the rail gun was probably my main strategy. 

Obstacle competitions like ninja warrior motivated me to change my life for the better. I developed health issues and even had a collapsed lung 3 years prior, but it wasn't until I started training that I finally decided to get my diet straightened out. It kept me motivated as a I pursued a path of wellness. Along the way I found enjoyment with my family as I grew stronger, and not just physically. Mentally I knew I could take on other obstacles that came in my path (see DestroyObstacles on keeping the mental game strong, and other sites below). 

As a community we'll help each other reach the top and enjoy it along the way – everyone from just fans who want to see what happens behind-the-scenes, to the ninjas that have reached the top and want to share their passion with others.

Health Tech Watch VR

  In the past, health & technology didn't always mesh very well. Now luckily they are coming together to help us stay healthy.   When you got a routine that works, it's great. However, there are always going to be days where it is hard to stay motivated. Luckily, making it a fun game to compete can keep us moving, specifically with the following two:   VR - games like Beat Saber on Meta/Oculus Quest VR can really get you moving. And since I have family & friends that have it, we can compete with each other as well.

Healthy Sweet Lemonade Limeade Recipe

Years ago I was clueless when it came to staying in shape. Luckily I've had time to learn a lot over the years with some motivation & knowledge from books like: Bigger Leaner Stronger for men (Thinner Leaner Stronger for women) by Mike Matthews . You can listen on Audible , and the eBook or physical book helps to visualize the movements. So when COVID-19 happened I was prepared to stay healthy through the year. In February I had just finished my fastest 5K race ever, & also had trained myself to complete the Murph Challenge on Veteran's Day. Staying at home meant more time to experiment, even with drinks such as a Mixology class that I took. I try to simplify my household & use what I already have. My superpower is using it up before expiration at all costs. We had a Ninja blender that was gifted a while back, & I knew we had to try it out. I've always had a sweet tooth, & I always pictured myself starting a lemonade stand business at a kid. I got to ex
