A WHEELBARROW FULL OF SUGAR.
ByI know that we’ve been posting a lot of video lately, but this one really struck me as something that is important to watch. It’s a little bit on the long side, but the message is powerful.
We really are living during a health epidemic in this country and the change in our school cafeterias, the change in our business luncheons, and the change in the lives of those around us is going to come from the actions that we take ourselves. Leading by example and eating and living the way that most CrossFitters do, we will inevitably empower others to be healthier as well. Remember the early post about obesity being contagious? We know that the opposite is true as well; we absolutely know it. I am 100% confident that other members of your peer groups have started to workout, eat and live in a healthier manner themselves, simply because of the example that you yourselves are setting. Please remember this fact when you are struggling with your last round of a tough workout or turning down junk food in your office for a healthier alternative.
Today’s Workout:
800 M Run
30 OHS (95#/65#)
400 M Run
30 Thrusters (95#/65#)

Great video, great message! I had dinner with my brother this weekend and for the first time in our adult lives my waistline is smaller than his … he promptly joined a gym down in Pasadena. Go Crossfit!

Scary and poignant reminder of the state of our nation. Chocolate milk is really good though.
