Beyond the Body – CrossFit Journal

Rob – thank you so much for that article.
I think it truly epitomises what I see everyday at the box in our women and why I have so much admiration for all of them. That “like-mindedness” is such an influencing factor behind my own continued desire to forge ahead with CrossFit. Thank you, chicas! And thank you, Rob, for your unending encouragement!
Oh… and chic on page 2 looks like a stud… 😉

I saw this article this morning and thought it was such a great read! Especially the part about pink dumbbells at the 5 and MAYBE 10 pound weights! LOL! Kind of funny to think back to grade school during field days and phycial tests…so true…we have come a long way! Thanks Rob for the shout out! The ladies at CFWH really work their butts off and have a true passion for fitness! We aren’t afraid to get rough hands! 🙂
