Nerd Fitness and Resetting the Game of Life: Steve Kamb at TEDxEmory 2012

Steve Kamb is the creator and leader of NerdFitness.com, a fitness community dedicated to helping average Joes and desk jockeys live healthier lives. In just under three years, Steve has taken Nerd Fitness from a simple one-man blog and developed it into a passionate "rebellion" of over 15,000 loyal members.

Since early 2009, Steve has applied the most addicting and enjoyable aspects of video game culture to leveling up in real life, culminating in his worldwide Epic Quest of Awesome. While running his business from a laptop, Steve has explored the ruins of Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat, dived with sharks on the Great Barrier Reef, flew a stunt plane in New Zealand, hiked the Great Wall of China, lived like James Bond in Monte Carlo, tracked animals in South Africa, and guest lectured at Facebook and Google.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

[MissVelvetElle]

100% agree with living life deliberately. Life is more important than video games, and living a love-centered life is all that is important.

Hey there, have you heard about "Belly Fat Quencher" (just google it)? On their website you will find a practical free video. It helped Sonia to eliminate her stomach fat. Perhaps it will help you out as well.

[Quinton Smith]

I think Steve Kamb explains it on his Nerd Fitness website.

So what are you doing about it? Watching YouTube and commenting on videos.... yeah, I can see where you're sooooo much better of a person. Don't like how this guy's living his life? Don't waste your time criticizing it, and stick with your own efforts to live your life how you think it should be lived. You're not impressing anyone with your rants - you just sound jealous.

Inspirational talk and such a nice voice - i could listen to him talk all day, every day..

[Alex Zora]

So how can I survive and afford all this stuff and travel? I want to get up and go and try many different experiences, but I Can't afford any of it... sounds nice, but sounds tough to do given certain circumstances in life!

[Bakeremt239]

You made water come out my face brah.

[surya shrestha]

Hello, have you heard of "Belly Fat Blaze" (search on Google for it)? There you will find a beneficial free video. This made it easier for Donna to get rid of her belly fat. I hope it will help you too.

You're right.. it's a minority though. I'm talking about the middle and small class citizens around the globe. They must be around 70% of the entire population, another 25% that dont even have electricity and those motherfuckers that took em all from the others and represent the rest 5%. None the less you're right obviously, but i can't stand people that the only thing they have to offer to the society is shit and the rest poor guys work 40+years just to bring food to the table. Unfair world..
