CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE

 Sal

Memorial Day is 2 weeks away.  It’s a long held CrossFit Suffolk tradition to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice through military service to our country and to honor former-Patchogue resident and Navy SEAL, Michael Murphy by doing “Murph”.  There will only be morning sessions on Memorial Day and there is a sign-up for those sessions.  You must choose a session.  Please let us know which of the following you want: 8-9am, 9-10am, 10-11am or 11-12pm.

WHY A KETTLEBELL? “But growing up and growing old is not for sissies and kettlebell training will give you another component that’s essential for life as well as fitness: toughness.”—Mark Reifkind for Strong First

HOW TO OVERCOME THE “i’LL DO IT TOMORROW” INSTINCT “Yet, damned if we don’t play that old, sabotaging card – putting off our goals for a mythical tomorrow. What is it with us humans? For some strange reason, we bring this magical thinking to time, imagining that tomorrow will somehow be fundamentally different than the same hour today. Yes, a different date will come up on your phone tomorrow morning, but that singular digit holds no particular capacity. Do we honestly think something will be changed tomorrow? We’ll win the lottery and not have to go to work? The kids will dress and feed themselves with no reminders or aid? Our brains will be more motivated and capable of accepting change? Our bodies will have gained strength and stamina overnight to crave a hard workout?”––Mark Sisson, Mark’s Daily Apple
