"According to the National Weather Service the use of 'short, distinctive given names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error' than more cumbersome identification methods, so since 1953 storms have been assigned female given names.
This convenience and logic inspired our granting a special group of workouts women’s names, but anything that leaves you flat on your back and incapacitated only to lure you back for more at a later date certainly deserves naming." - CrossFit HQ

Our CFH "Girls of Summer" programming continues today with one of the newer gals..."Angie"; scaling options are on the whiteboard. Enjoy!

For those of you struggling with the ups and downs of "dieting", there's light at the end of the tunnel! We've been working behind the scenes on something BIG...something game changing for lots of you...something that will help you finally reach your nutrition goals (like seriously, for real, doing it right).

We've been accepted into the Precision Nutrition ProCoach program - something I'm SOOOOO excited about. Dr. John Berardi and the Precision Nutrition team are fantastic and the system they've built is impressive to say the least. I'm thrilled that we'll be able to roll this out soon and offer to it to you (+ our extended CFH family).

This program is designed to help develop a deeper understanding of your own nutrition habits, increase accountability, and it has daily, weekly, and monthly nutrition & fueling tasks based on your own goals & preferences. No more "I was good while I was on the challenge, but..." around here! Stay tuned...more to come. SQUEEE!

Strength: Snatch
Conditioning: Skill Work...like a mini Friday Funday. Yep, you're welcome.

"Don't confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but doesn't make any progress." - Alfred Armand Montapert

Think about your goals - are you really making steps TOWARD them...or are you just spinning your wheels? Instead of doing *more stuff* to lose weight or get stronger or learn that new skill, let's do specific things that have a specific impact on your progress. Talk to a coach soon about YOUR specifics.

Strength: Push Press
Conditioning: Push-ups + Leg Matrix
