We talked about the Kids and how awesome it is to see them compete and enjoy being fit and healthy.  Now I want to turn our attention to another group, The Parents and Grandparents of CFW.  The Kids might be cool to see but you guys are an inspiration.  I can only hope that I still have the drive and dedication to fitness when I am a parent that you guys demonstrate each day.  There are days when the body hurts or I just do not feel like hitting a WOD and I think, if this group is doing it, I can do it.  Keep up the hard work!

I know some of you have been active forever but how many of you never thought you would snatch or clean and jerk just a few months ago?  Who never thought you would celebrate a deadlift PR like it was a major life accomplishment?

Just like the Kids some of the parents will be crushing the CFW Games starting tomorrow so come out and support them.

Some of you may have heard that we have added a Kids Division to our CFW CrossFit Games due to the demands of the kids and their parents.  This might be the coolest part of any CrossFit games thus far.  I was thinking back to when I was a kid and wondered what it would have been like if I had been exposed to CrossFit, weightlifting etc.  Don’t get me wrong I competed in a lot of sports but it is so cool to see kids throwing around barbells and crushing pull ups, much unlike I did in the Presidential Fitness Test with my gangly frame hanging from the pull up bar unable to get one pull up.  Kids, if you are reading this, keep up the hard work but don’t forget to use your fitness in other sports as well.  Kids will be up first on Friday nights in the CFW Games so come out and support them as they attack 14.1 at 6:30 pm.

Adults, how many presidential fitness award winners are out there?  How many of you wish you would have continued your fitness award winning streak into your adult life?  Who will always hate sit and reach because they could never reach the magic number of flexibility??  ME for sure!!

Got such a nice comment today.  ”Dan, CrossFit Woodbridge has changed every aspect of my life in such a positive manner” These never get old as this is exactly what we aim to do here.  It’s great to know that fitness has been the vehicle for change and that we have a place where people are comfortable in doing so.  I think keeping this in mind, that CrossFit is something positive in our lives, not all consuming, not cut throat but always positive.
