Josh’s fitness program subscribers often ask him about his favorite things and we thought we would sit down with Josh and get some of those answers.

Wodstar: Everybody has those songs on their playlist that get them really amped up and helps push them further. What are some of your favorite songs to lift to?

Josh: My favorite song that gets me in the zone is When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin. I also love Run This town by Jay-Z and Thunderstruck by AC/DC.

Wodstar: What’s your Favorite cheat meal?

Josh: Carne asada burritos. I love it when the meat is buttery, rich, and juicy, with a charred, smoky flavor from the grill.

Wodstar: We know you love beer, what’s your favorite beer and brewery?

Josh: I love the Stone Brewery and they distribute a small batch Double IPA from the Russian River Brewery in Napa called Pliny the Elder. It is well-balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol, slightly bitter with a fresh hop aroma of floral, citrus, and pine

Wodstar: What is your favorite book?

Josh: Wild at Heart: Discovering The Secret of a Man’s Soul by John Eldredge.

Wodstar: What are your top 3 favorite movies of all time?

Josh: First, Rudy. It’s not just because I am a huge Notre Dame fan. Rudy embodied determination, intensity, heart and a sense of relentlessness. When everyone said no to Rudy, he kept at until he realized his dream.

Second, Field of Dreams. I love this magical tale that is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play.

Finally, Braveheart. The story of William Wallace leading the small, rag tag and largely amateur Scottish army against the mighty English army is powerful and inspirational.

Wodstar: What is your favorite city to travel to?

 Josh: Cape Town, South Africa. If you have never been this majestic port city, your breath will be taken away from its beauty.
