This is about one of those “Why” questions. Why do I train myself physically? Or also, why should I train myself physically? To look good in my undies? To fight off diabetes? Both are solid answers to the question “Why?”. I have another reason and it is one that applies to everyone. Through our fitness journey there are always some ups and downs. I submit this as food for thought during one of those down times when you need a push to get going again.

You may or may not have noticed that my name has not been on the Whiteboard as much for a little while. I’m happy to say that should be changing soon. I put a LOT of time, thought, and energy into the programming of the workouts we do in class, and I love (and hate) doing them. However, the 8:30am class knows this does not mean I haven't been working out! I've just been doing unique variations of the class WOD like all of you have needed to do at times when you have an injury.
