Kudos to Coach Lisa as she started the new fundamentals series last night. This group is motivated and eager to get past the fundamentals so they can join the regular classes. The fundamentals series will prepare you to tackle the more complex and challenging workouts. Thank you for joining the San Carlos CrossFit family boys and girls.

CrossFit is a way of life... read the article published on the CrossFit Journal about what it is to live the CrossFit life. The author says that "While CrossFit is neither a cure-all for emotional struggles nor a panacea for relationship issues, it seems abundantly clear to those of us who live it that this thing we do has significant positive implications for other aspects of our lives. We may not always be better wives, husbands, children or parents, and we may not be better at every aspect of our jobs, but then again, we just might".
It is a very interesting article, read it here .

Some have asked, “Why are the workouts named after Girls?” Coach Glassman, the founder of CrossFit explained it best. “I want to explain the workout once and then give it a name. I thought that anything that left you flat on your back, looking up at the sky asking ‘what just happened to me?’ deserved a females name. Workouts are just like storms, they wreak havoc on towns.
This week several of the "girls" are coming to SCCF... Nancy, Angie and Christine will be at the gym this week. Make sure you record your times and loads. Check your progress when the girls come back in a few weeks.
Have a great week everyone!!
