Beached

As most of you know, it is that time of year again. The CrossFit Games is this coming weekend. It is a big deal for all of us and especially important for all of our athletes who are down there working their butts off to show the event to the world.
Each year the sport grows with talent and popularity, it becomes an even cooler thing to be a part of. Even though the sport of fitness is only a fraction of what we do, the spectacle is something to behold. This weekend -- Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California -- the action will go down. If you are staying home, fear not. The coverage is incredible and there will be a live feed of all the action from the Jumbotron with commentary, as well as a nightly ESPN Show recapping the days events. Just stay tuned to the Games site for everything you need to know.

Balance

 Balance is an important component of fitness. We need it to do almost all the skills we teach in CossFit. Also as CrossFitters we require a balance in our programming, making sure we attack different skills and varied metabolic time domains in hopes of achieving improvement across the board. We also need to have a balance in our lives making sure to enjoy both work and play, and stress and relaxation in favorable quantities.
