Summertime fitness

Wednesday, July 09, 2008

Jennifer turned 37 this week - and I dare say that she is more fit than she's ever been in her entire life, and thanks to CrossFit, has the confidence to go right along side. Below, she is demonstrating her proficiency with double-unders - a movement that was totally out of the question for her when she first started.

By the way, as we enjoy the hotter months of the summer, something to watch out for is heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke. This is an interesting article from the NY Times about heat, sweat, water and training. To Beat the Heat, Learn to Sweat It Out

I love it!!!

Fader, there is nothing that makes me happier than to see you doing what you do with us! I have no idea who or what you were before you joined the PF team, but I have no doubt that you are now better, not only physically or mentally, but as a person as a whole. I'm sure that you have grown in every aspect of life, and if we can claim to be a part of your growth, even if only a very insignificant part, than we have done what we set out to do!

This goes out to everyone who has found us and become a part of our great community. If we have been able to help change one life in a positive way, I know that we have done it with others too!

I believe 100% whole heartedly that we can change lives.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication... Keep it up!

Congratulations!
