If you're looking for workout inspiration or stories of amazing athletes, check out the website Jock (www.thenewjock.com). The best way to describe this site is from founders Stephanie Tran and Aimee Cho:
"Jock is a modern love and exploration of fitness, sport, and athleticism. A platform for celebrating raw emotion. Stories of the inner journey vs. the physical output. A visual diary of movement, elevated by the diverse perspectives of our contributing photographers. And an ongoing dialogue with athlete and audience, redefining what the word Jock means to us, today."
We were recently featured on the site. On a hot morning over the summer, Jock followed us along during a brick workout in Red Hook. The photographer, Nils Ericson, instructed us to just go about our workout and act like he wasn't there. What he captured in the photos was real emotion of a hard workout: struggle, fatigue, joy, focus concentration. --Laurel and Bec
