It’s been awhile since I last posted an update – sorry. That is due to a combination of life being fairly busy lately, but also because I’ve been working on a secret project for my readers that I’m almost ready to announce. Look for the official announcement next week! Have a happy Thanksgiving [...] It seems everyone knows what P90X is these days. It’s everywhere, and I know many people who have used the P90x home fitness workout program with good success. I can’t argue with that point. As a fitness coach, I know the system has its flaws, but it can definitely help people lose weight and [...] I’m actually a big fan of the TRX Suspension Training System Workouts. It offers you the ability to train almost anywhere that you can setup the straps. TRX workouts are portable and versatile, and perfect for servicemen, traveling businessmen, and home gym trainees who need to be able to train anytime, anywhere. However, I [...] This is what Mt. Katahdin looks like on a clear, sunny day around the time of year that we climbed it. Notice the hint of snow on top and the beautiful Fall foliage.

Here is the comment word-for-word:
Let me paraphrase that for you… Quit hating on CrossFit!!!! You’re an idiot and so is everyone that listens to you. I am enlightened, but won’t share my secrets with you because I don’t want you to beat me on today’s WOD, Fran! All joking aside, and in my defense, I think I offered a well-balanced perspective on CrossFit. I mentioned the pros and cons of the system from a non-biased perspective, and even concluded with a suggestion to attend a CrossFit seminar (with some precautions in mind). I definitely wasn’t hating on the system at all. I am a strong critic and an eternal skeptic, and some significant aspects of CrossFit concern me greatly. For instance, the founder Greg Glassman admits that “[CrossFit] can kill you” (NY Times article here) Things like that tend to raise a warning flag in my book, among many others.
