Primal Quest 2010
Calling all SBKers: We challenge you to join each other for 6 weeks of clean eating! Take advantage of your "new year, new start" motivation to dial in your diet with the support of the community. All those interested in participating should attend the kickoff meeting on Sunday, January 10 at 1pm where Coach Margie will discuss the "rules of engagement," help set personal goals, offer advice and (optional) take body measurements.

The Quest will run from January 10 to February 21. Those of you who stick to the plan will be eligible to enter a raffle for some sweet prizes.

Thank You
2009 has truly been a transformative year for CrossFit South Brooklyn.  Thanks to our unique community of coaches, athletes and friends, we've managed to substantially increase our member base while maintaining the spirit and integrity of our community and training.  As we move into a new home and continue to expand what we offer and who we are, 2010 will represent a major shift in our history.  This transition will, no doubt, come with challenges,  but given the team we have put together, there’s no doubt that the new year will yield an even stronger community, more fitness and most of all a whole lot more fun.

If you're training for health, fitness and longevity, Quality of Movement should be your highest priority.  The deleterious effects of regular poor movement far outweigh the benefits of attempting maximal work output or moving as large a load as possible.  When defining why you train, consider a lifelong perspective and remember that the human body is a beautiful, complicated machine which either adapts or reacts to all the stresses imposed upon it. Train hard, Train smart.

What are you long term training goals? What would you like to be doing in 10 years, in 20?
