TrackFit and Surfing

I am so jealous. I've never surfed but it's definitely on my bucket list. Apologies for this long post but I've got so much cool stuff to say.

If anyone has ever watched videos of surfer Laird Hamilton's workout it's very similar to what we do. One difference is that he does it while standing on an inflated exercise ball but we're getting there. Our workouts absolutely improve every aspect of every sport. Check out this NYTs article which mentions 7 of the 10 tenets of CrossFit:

Saturday's workouts at the track were a blast. Find one of our athletes to explain how much fun "Death by 10 Meters" is. The second worked in a bit of everything - running for speed and distance, strength and especially mental toughness.

I can't believe how many of you are sticking with or starting the burpee challenge. I think we're going to start totaling up the Trifitness total. We must be getting close to 10,000. Don't forget that you can join the fun any time.

Congratulations to Mary Money on the feature in Fairfield Magazine. She's going to have to buy me breakfast since I didn't get a shout out. I like to think that bicep should have my name on it.

Until next time,
Aryeh
