CrossFit is, quite simply, a sport-the "sport of fitness." We've learned that harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means.

Aaron

We are closed today, July 4.  Good luck to everyone running the Peachtree.

If you are not running the Peachtree and want to workout, meet us at West Palisades Chattahoochee National Recreation Area at 10:30 AM.  We will go for a cross country run & hill scramble, then perhaps float down the river for a very short stretch.  Bring a tube or raft.

If you can get up early, go watch the Peachtree Road Race.  Watch the running form of the front runners, and then take a good look at the folks in the pack and let us know your thoughts about whether jogging is effective for weight loss.

Some of our folks have been following advice that Robb Wolf gave during his Nutrition Seminar here in February of loading up to 50% of your daily carb intake into your post workout meal.  He no longer believes that to be an effective strategy.  Read more about it in his blog.  Read about why he changed at this blog post.
