Workout of the day

“The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.”  (Anthony Robbins)

Share your prayers, thoughts, concerns for those who were at the Boston Marathon today when two explosions rocked the finish line, killing two and injuring dozens.  Shame on whoever did this, we hope they are caught and punished accordingly.

Now that the open is over, we have reviewed our open gym hours.  As of today, the gym open hours will be from 11:00 am-12:00pm.   Additionally, we added a regular class on Thursday at 4:30 pm.

Over the last few months, we have seen an increase of members doing additional movements/lifting during classes.  We encourage your motivation and hard work, but we want to make sure our box is a safe place for everyone.  Also some of our classes are pretty packed so space is an issue (That will change as soon as the tenant in unit 5 moves out and we take over).  Please don’t do this anymore unless you check with the trainer, or  else, try to make the open gym hours.  We appreciate your understanding.

Big shout to Pablo Sanchez,  he got hitched today.   Congratulations Pablo and Julie..   Have a wonderful life together.

Thank  to all that participated  in the meat share.  It was flawless...   big shout to Marianne Jett for coordinating the whole thing.   We will do it again soon enough..

But what is the big deal?  what is different about grass fed meat..   click here for the answer.  

In the world of spam and junk mail I got something that really got my attention.   No, I didn’t buy anything I just was amused by their catchy email headline..  It read “You're fat…Go on a Diet Immediately”  followed by the tag “A Way for You to Lose a Quick 25 lbs”.  I think words are very powerful and most of us don’t realize it.   The word lose and fat are words that I put in the “downer category”.  I don’t use these words unless I am describing the actual adipose tissue (aka FAT), not the person.   My second thought was, does anybody actually falls for these emails? I am not sure, I hope not.

But in any event, losing weight is not what we should be aiming for, we should be aiming to gain fitness, health, and happiness.  Just think about that for a moment what do you rather do, lose or gain?

So if you are new to CrossFit remember that losing weight should not be your primary goal.  Your primary goal should be getting fitter, getting healthier, getting happier. Measure your progress based on how you stronger you are getting, how you feel and how your clothes fit.  Forget the damn scale.

This morning I met a member that has been crossfitting with us for about 3 weeks and she was telling me how happier and fitter she feels.  That is what we do at SCCF, that is our mission and we love to hear stories like that.  Please, share them with us, and share them with your friends.

Many  workout, only a few actually train…   we train!!
