Jarrod has been training with us for three months. He's 17, a Senior in High School, and he is motivated. He's planning to attend Plymouth State College in the fall and play football and or lacrosse there. He joined Work/Play CrossFit hoping to gain some strength! Boom, He's added almost 10lbs of muscle! Nice work Jarrod! This past Friday Night he was the only one in the 7pm class and that hasn't been uncommon. [ 465 more words ] http://workplaycrossfit.com/2018/02/25/all-about-friday-nights/

Week in review: Sara got her first Bar Muscle Up Week in Preview: You should be very excited for the Open! Excitement looks like this: No matter what your level of interest, enthusiasm, and caring in CrossFit, the Open Season is an exciting time. There are so many ways to be a part of it: As a fan, as an active participant, in the many Masters Divisions, in the many scaled versions, maybe if you've been consistent in your training you may even be able to RX one or two workouts!

Let's Go Pats! Short Blogpost tonight as everyone's attention is averted to the Big Game! Make sure you have multiple "buckets" or facets of your identity in place to help you create balance and insulate you against loss/pain/risk etc. A Super Bowl example is this: When I was in my teens and my 20's being a Sports Fan was a HUGE part of my identity.

You Must take responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the winds, but you can change yourself! ~Jim Rohn My favorite season of the year is Summertime! Hands down, this is my peak happiness time. I love the sun, the heat, the beach, being outdoors, the long days, I could go on and on. But that's not why I'm writing tonight...

Congrats to everyone who went out and represented Work/Play this Saturday! All week the talk has been of unrest in Patriot Land. Then Brady's finger. All the coordinators are leaving. Gronk out with a concussion before halftime. Oh and as we've seen so so many times before, the Patriots fell behind, are behind all game and enter the fourth quarter facing a 10 point deficit.

This dude was an absolute beast, and if he'd been into CrossFit, I have no doubt he'd have been damn good at it! Lately I've been reading so many books about mindfulness and Zen and personal development, and this book has such a different tone, but the same themes that you will find in all the Zen or Success literature are right there.

It's pretty cool and it reminds me a lot of the advice in one of my favorite books ever, Stumbling on Happiness by Harvard Prof Dan Gilbert.

Wanted to close out the year by sharing some quotes that I love and I hope you'll ponder a minute and then carry them onward with you into 2018! So below are 3 quotes that I think all go together nicely, and I'll riff on those a bit below.
