Role Models

Remember, if you're on a wait list, you can still do a 'wait list' workout at the gym. I posted a picture on Facebook a few days ago that showed all the babies and kids during the 8:30 class. The picture below was on the CrossFit.com main site. What do you think that little girl is thinking? She stopped dead in her tracks with her mouth wide open. I don't know if one of those women is her mom, but either way, what a great group of role models. Just like all the members at our gym, when they have their little ones with them.Little girls get bombarded with the message that skinny is cool and something to strive for. Screw that! Soccer mom's that can rip out pull-ups are freaking awesome! One of our members told me she caught her son doing overhead squats with a crowbar. Another member looked out the window and saw her kid doing pushups because he missed the net in road hockey. And this kid has an amazing squat, probably because he sees his mom doing them all the time.Monkey see, monkey do. There's a lot of truth to it.I'm happy to see you bring your kids to the gym. You are showing them that being strong and fit is important. You are great role models!3 rounds21 Thrusters (95/65 or 60% PP)400m Run
