To live means to suffer. In Buddhism it is the first noble truth. Somewhere down the line self-medication became a much more realistic life choice than enlightenment. Below, the Doctor reminds us of the pain that is healthy, the pain that can be medicated, and the pain we just need to deal with. According to [...]
As CrossFit Kids grows so does the celebration of everything youthful. Within weeks of kids starting CrossFit parents can’t help but notice improved academics, confidence and focus. As far as I can tell, the only thing linking these households is the Paleo diet, and CrossFit of course. As I don’t have children and no have [...]
She crossed the rubber floor dusted in chalk with a confidence few her age could dream of. Her generous brown eyes caught mine as if to betray her youth by saying, “I’m too young to be feeling this old.” Not even out of high school and yet she sat beside me like it was just [...]
Humans are a veritable walking mess of hormones. Hormones we either control profoundly through our most widely used drug-food. Or hormones that control us becasue we fail to control each and every bite we take. The “Saturday Stolen Post” from Disease Proof is nothing new to this blog.

CrossFit followers would be few and far between this very day if it weren’t for the sheer enjoyment we all get from CrossFitting. In a quasi-masochistic way, we do this for the fun of it. Cindy reminds us, as she often does, that a little more WOD fun never hurt anybody. Especially if your guilty [...]
Off the cuff predictions are like breathing. We can’t seem to get through the day without them. The surprise is when some of these predictions happen just the way we said they. Especially when we don’t want them to. Are we just that intuitive, or are words just that powerful? In November I found myself [...]
CrossFit for me seems to be more learning than it is teaching. Maybe that’s how it stays so fresh day after day. In CrossFit you can’t help but learn people, form and function. CrossFit makes you smarter. CrossFit makes you…aware. Progressions of athletes are amazing to view. Its cool to reward someone with a body-weight [...]
Guilty you stand chalked, staring, almost admiring the bar over-hanging your head. Your awaiting the one universal two letter word that makes every CrossFitter in the world move like a trained animal…GO!. Welcome to CrossFit. This is you and this is us, and this is what millions today and millions more tomorrow will do and [...]
