We have a lot of functional exercises in our arsenal to choose from for CrossFit. Some are heavy, some are complex, some make you want to hurl.
If you could eliminate one move from CrossFit, what would it be and why?
The aftermath!

Anything that’s processed needs to be highlighted in your food log.
You’re allowed one cheat meal per week.

Carly knows when it's time to rest
So there’s a Frenchman, an Englishman and a Newfie in a local restaurant. They all took their wives out for Valentine’s Day for supper. Each one wanted to impress their spouse on this special day.
The Frenchman turned to his wife and said, “Could you pass zee sugar, Sugar?”
The Englishman couldn’t let Frenchie show him up, so he tried to do better. He looked in his wife’s direction and said, “Could you pass the honey, Honey?”
Well, the Newfie knew that he could do even better than the other two chumps. He turned to his wife and said, “Could you pass the tea, Bag?”

Let me know in the comments if you agree with his message.
Last Sunday, we talked about spouses/significant others joining CrossFit together.
What about family members? Right now, we have Marlene and Shallon (mother/daughter) and myself and my mother.
Would you like to have your son/daughter join the gym? What about your parents? Do you think it would be a positive experience?
I can only speak from my experience, but it’s been a great way to spend time with my mom. She’s one of the reasons I push as hard as I do at the gym. I think it has brought us closer together.

Is it true what they say? Sweat together, stay together?
We have 5 couples that workout at CrossFit Moncton. If you are one of them, do you think it’s good for your relationship?
If you have a significant other, would you want them to join the gym with you?
