According to ancient Egyptian history, Horus, the sky God also known as the Lord of Medicine, possessed all healing powers. Horus gifted the Egyptians the knowledge to create medicine.

Community; “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.” Prior to Crossfit I had a gym membership at Snap Fitness, LifeTime Fitness, Power House, the Troy Community Center, and several other one off local gyms. I have zero association between these facilities and the word community. I
“Presque ne compte pas.” Almost does not count. I almost didn’t cheat on my husband. I almost brushed my teeth last night. I almost paid my taxes. Humorous, right?

Keeping It. Making money isn’t the hard part; keeping it is. Sometimes it feels like we’re in a sinking ship of impending doom. But instead of water rushing in, it’s money rushing out. Just as soon as we plug one hole, two more spring forth. Is capsizing inevitable? I’m running out of fingers to plug
What is CrossFit? “Constantly varied, functional movement, executed at a high intensity.” Yeah yeah, I know, but what is the “magic” of Crossfit, if you will? I’ve done varied functional movements at a high intensity for 15+ years. It has gotten me strong, fit, and occasionally injured because of my own unchecked ego. What’s the
