We need to wake up

Hot cocoa in hand.

This weekend I had the pleasure of attending my daughters soccer and cheer leading games. While we were at this athletic event for children (which is great), I had noticed that many of the parents of these kids were overweight and some close to being classified as obese. With some of the larger families (4,5,6 family members) you could see the progression of overweightness and unhealthiness from youngest to oldest. At what point in your life do you say enough. Is it when you have one of many chronic illnesses, you struggle to take a flight of stairs, your knees back or hips hurt from the weight, at what point do you say enough. Perhaps when you see your kids feeling the same effects you are accept 10,15 or 20 years sooner. Maybe it's the food, video games, TV/Internet and the need to be entertained by something right NOW, as apposed to using your mind or body (go outside) and maybe it's the parents example as well!

Things to ask yourself.

Do you find yourself waiting for the closes parking spot?

Do you eat till your full/stuffed?

Do you have snacks in the closet "for the kids"?

Do you watch the kids or do you play with the kids?

Do you set the example for your kids?

If you have kids watch this.
I could have not said it better!

Some of our new equipment.

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, it's been hectic the last couple of weeks. Nonetheless we have been growing and are getting better everyday. If you haven't noticed we got some new equipment in : 3 bars, 4 squat stands, an adjustable jump platform, Sorinex "Land Mine", a massive GHD, another rower, 200sq ft of black mat and coming soon more pull-up bars.
Just as a heads up, we would like to sponsor a couple of CrossFit Spokane athletes to go to the CrossFit games next year and represent us. We will be asking for some help from our CrossFit Spokane family, so we will keep you posted.

A great clip about our military.
