Friday, August 8th, 2008Here are some unofficial jokes from the Unofficial Crossfitters Joke book. [If anyone is offended....Get over it!] Q: How many CrossFitters does it take to change a light bulb? A: Three. One to do it in record time. One to film it. And one to complain about proper form. Why did the Cynergy CrossFit fire [...]
Someone needs what you know!
Thursday, August 7th, 2008America is getting fatter and fatter and what the majority of Americans are doing for fitness is obviously not working. The Club-Ex machine dominance, isolation moves, and cardio hell prescribed by the Fitness Mafia of America is, quite simply, profit-driven garbage that fails to take people where they want to go. In case you haven’t [...]
Journals
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Two nights ago, I had a handful of M&M’s. In fact, I can tell you I ate seven of the peanut kind, which is my favorite. Under normal circumstances, I would’ve simply grabbed a bunch, mindlessly eaten them while talking to a colleague and forgotten them entirely. Instead, I know the specific number I ate [...]
From the Dali Lama……
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. Follow the three R’s: Respect for self, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Food for thought……
Friday, July 25th, 2008WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVES THE FOLLOWING SPEECH? ‘ My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in [...]
You gotta want this!
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Had a conversation the other day that got me thinking. I’m in the fitness business, not the hand holding business. I have a system that takes ordinary people and turns them into athletes. I can look our women in the eyes and remind them of that day they asked if they would be a weakling [...]
Something to think about……
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008I ran across this story in one of the other blogs that are out there. It reminds me of the the saying that “Sometimes bad stuff happens….and you know what: Get over it, cause life goes on…Now get going!” The next time you feel sorry for yourself. Think about this story. Think about little Max and his [...]
One Womans Manefesto
Monday, June 23rd, 2008This Manifesto was written by Lisbeth who incidentally also reminded us about the challenges and stepping into the ring to compete. This my friends says it all. So the next time you want to become complacent think about it. Thanks to Lisbeth of Crossfit Watertown and our very own Chip Moore for pointing this great [...]

Tanking with the Economy
Saturday, June 21st, 20082 things that have happened make me wonder about the priorities in our lives. Gas prices are through the roof and Tim Russert has died at the age of 58. Jon Gilson has once again put this crunch into perspective for us. Read on and realize that your world is better when you are fit. [...]
