"There's a gentleman named the Fitness Marshall and he has a YouTube channel full of dances. He's a local kid here. I have used the Fitness Marshall to warm up my athletes more times than you can shake a stick at because dancing's fun and moves you in funny ways and you've got to load and rhythm and four minutes or five minutes later you're sweating and grinning. Have your mind blown. He has 14 million followers. Caleb is a genius."

"I've done Cindy more than any other workout in the history of the world. Everyone, Cindy is the best workout. So, it's five pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats. You can do it on the minute, you can do it as many rounds as you want. That body weight volume is excellent."

"You mentioned CrossFit and for you know we discovered CrossFit in 2004. We opened a CrossFit gym in 2005. The model of CrossFit and especially modern sophisticated CrossFit programming is that there are a lot of needs being met simultaneously. You're going to get strong. You're going to become skilled. You're going to have to do this under high aerobic demand and metabolic demand. And simultaneously, it's pretty fun."

"Groons is just a green powder gummy bear that is highly palatable. Your kids don't get any fiber, any vitamin C, any micronutrients and minerals. And this highly palatable gummy bear green powder candy snack gummy — the adherence goes through the roof. You send your kids with one of those. Of all the stuff I've seen in the last decade, that is the most cutting-edge behavior-changing thing that's come out because I can make sure that my kid eats something that is good for them in a packaged way that they can be highly reproducible for years and years."

"If you played Spikeball, right? If you just engaged with having to move in a funny way, played frisbee like we talked about, you would see that you would have a better workout. It would be fun and you'd get to create a community around that."
What Kelly warns against
Things Kelly says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
"The Guardian just did a test of some peptides that they gotten from a reputable site and they had it tested and it contained no peptides, but it contains lead."
"We are seeing an epidemic of young people, young athletes, buying Zyns, using Zyns, using these pouch nicotines — massive amounts. Kids are packing multiple 15 milligrams, which is like a pack of cigarettes in your mouth, and they do that multiple times a day. Highly addictive. The gum disease, the heart problems from these huge amounts of nicotine."
