CrossFit Wed!

Congrats to all of the 24 lifesport members that came in yesterday... i think everyone kicked ass and made progress in one way or another... Dan was especially impressive improving his 500 jumprope time by  about 40% then shaving several minutes off of hie Karen time!!  HOO DEY!   

and now the word from the fitness spotlight ... Chemicals That Make You Fat


Men’s Health chimes in by telling you that it’s not the food you eat…it’s the chemicals: Fat epidemic linked to chemicals run amok. I don’t completely disagree with them about chemicals (which is part of the reason why Real Food helps you get healthier), but come on, there is still nothing good about fast food.



Obesogens are chemicals that disrupt the function of hormonal systems…They enter our bodies from a variety of sources — natural hormones found in soy products, hormones administered to animals, plastics in some food and drink packaging, ingredients added to processed foods, and pesticides sprayed on produce. They act in a variety of ways: by mimicking human hormones such as estrogen, by misprogramming stem cells to become fat cells and, researchers think, by altering the function of genes.
