CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE

That’s Samantha at the top of the climbing rope.  Samantha was inspired by yesterday’s photo of Veronica at the top of the rope.  The ripple effect of one athlete’s accomplishment is often far-reaching and will move others into action.

Success, a good work ethic and courage are contagious!  We point athletes in the right direction, guide them along the path of strength and fitness, make them aware of what they capable of, then get out of their way.  The result is often a climb to heights never before believed possible.  For many of the ordinary, everyday people who are merely trying to discover who they are, our greatest challenge is helping them remove the ceiling that holds them back.

Samantha at 15 feet high….and ready to go beyond!

11 REASONS PEOPLE THINK CALORIES DON’T COUNT– AND WHY THEY’RE WRONG

You can’t control everything that influences your ability to lose fat. That’s why you need to focus on what you can control. Your calorie intake and movement levels.

The fact that your calorie intake and expenditure are influenced by many different factors doesn’t change the fact that calories count, and that you won’t lose weight if you aren’t in a caloric deficit.“—Armi Legge, Evidence Magazine
