www.MOSTmag.com || FITNESS MAG A ZINE || 13FMM: Can you tell us about your fitness and nutrition plan? EC: Working an overnight shift takes a lot out of you. Your body needs vitamin D, which it%u2019s not getting when you sleep during the day and work at night. So if I%u2019m not completely zapped when I leave the network, I make sure I get a workout in. I either hit up CrossFit or go to the gym. The stair master is my best friend. Sometimes I%u2019ll just do it for 45 minutes. As far as nutrition, working overnights you crave a lot of carbs. It doesn%u2019t help that I have a sweet tooth and there%u2019s always donuts or muffins lying around. But I%u2019ve learned I can%u2019t eat them or a lot of sugar before show time. We are live for four hours and I need to be on my A game. I eat a lot of protein and salads when I%u2019m working. FMM: You have covered a number of different sports, from Summer X Games, volleyball, World Series of Poker and football, to the rodeo. Is there any sport that has left you scratching your head?EC: Pro Bull Riding was the most unique experience of my career. I grew up in the city, so seeing this completely different culture, and I mean it%u2019s a culture, where these riders put their lives at risk and don%u2019t make any money unless they place high in the competition %u2013 it%u2019s really incredible to watch in person. Cowboys are so tough. I saw a guy smack his head against the Bulls head, and break his jaw. It%u2019s surreal. I have a lot of respect for what they do. FMM: Take us sidelines during a game. Are you calm and thinking of what your next question might be or is it an adrenaline rush, being so close to the action? EC: It%u2019s a complete adrenaline rush! If you%u2019re not feeling an adrenaline rush or excitement you%u2019re in the wrong business. You don%u2019t just get it from the game; you feel it from the crowd. It%u2019s so intense. It%u2019s fun. Being so close to the action...you have the best seat in the house. I remember when I was in Palo Alto and Stanford finally beat Oregon for the Pac 12 Championship North. All the students rushed the field. I was trying to film a hit and I was nervous that I was going to get trampled. It was exhilarating though. It%u2019s what I love about my job. FMM: Tell us about your time in San Francisco. Covering the greats, current NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors, The San Francisco Giants and the 49ers. How effective do you think Jim Tomsula will be at getting Kap and the 49ers back to Super Bowl? (I%u2019m not going to lie, >>>
