Sunday WOD anyone?
Hey y'all! I'm putting out some feelers. If I hold a Plyometric/Kettlebell/Mobility WOD this Sunday (yes, Halloween), would anyone show up? Remember there is only room for 8 people for this WOD so please give me a call/text if you are interested and can make it. If not enough people sign up, I'll hold one next month some time. It'll be at 1 pm and $5 a person. Let me know ASAP!

Nagging tightness in your body?
Working on any of the 10 skills?
Want to get your workout in on a Sunday?
Check this out...
I know many of you have either been interested or have been playing with different Kettlebell movements or checking out KStar's Mobility WOD. So, by popular demand, there will be a couple classes a month focusing on just these movements. They will be offered on weekends, some Saturdays and some Sundays but time has yet TBD at this point. Because of the need for specific equipment, this class has limited space (only up to 8 per class). Stay tuned to the website/signup sheet at the box for the first class. There will be a drop-in fee of $5 to King CrossFit members (normal drop-in rates for non-members). This class is geared to the novice through fire-breathers, as all other crossfit workouts this will be scaleable.
Average class will look like-
Active stretch
Plyometric WOD
Skill work
Kettlebell WOD
Mobility WOD
King's Kids CrossFit is still on for this weekend
This is just a reminder that although many of the coaches will be helping out at the King CrossFit hosted Level I Cert (at Renton Fire Station 14), there WILL be a Kid's CrossFit WOD this weekend on the same Bat-channel at the same Bat-time (@King CF @11:30)! It would be a great time to bring in a friend if you want to... let them share in the way-of-the-WOD! Stay tuned for what the workout will be.

Massage Anyone?

Hey King Crossfit Family,
This is Jess and I just wanted to let you guys know that I will start doing massages out of my place in Kent for you. I will only be doing the massages on Saturdays between the hours of 11-5. I know that some of you have been asking for me to open up a place in the Renton area so I thought I would finally start do this for you. My prices are as followed; $70 for 60 min and $100 for 90 min. I do offer $20 off your first massage (60 or 90 min) and I also can do a 30 min session for $40. As some of you may know I am pretty strong and that is what my massage tend to be, but I am willing to offer 60 min (not 90 min) relaxation to those that may want it.
If you are interested in getting a massage you can email me at ultimatetouch@hotmail.com or on Facebook if we are friends. Hope to see you soon!!!
Are hidden sugars derailing your weight loss goals?
This excerpt comes from http://www.thepaleodiet.com/nutritional_tools/fruits.shtml
"My original recommendation to eat fresh fruits as your appetite dictates still holds for most people. However, if you are very much overweight or are insulin resistant, I recommend that you initially limit high sugar fruits (grapes, bananas, mangos, sweet cherries, apples, pineapples, pears and kiwi fruit) from your diet until your weight starts to normalize and your health improves. Try to include more vegetables in lieu of the high-sugar fruit. As per my previous recommendations, dried fruits contain excessive sugar, and from the Table below, you can see they more closely resemble commercial candy than their fresh counterparts. Note that some fruits (avocados, lemons, and limes) are very low in total sugar and should not be restricted"
Review the following graph to see if you are sabotaging yourself with too many natural sugars.

Friday Motivation
Why I CrossFit
Author: Quinn Peyser
Story Type: Heart Warming
Home Gym: Crossfit Fort Meade

Mid-workout, I often ask myself, “Jeezus, what am I doing here?” The answer usually is muffled by someone telling me to stop stalling and get moving because “that squat ain’t gonna do itself!” Like I need THAT reminder. I’ve been at this fairly seriously for about 6 months. I walk away everyday looking like, at worst, I lost a fight to a semi, or at best, an angry scrappy dog.
So, seriously after all that, why AM I here? Why do I come in here 5 days a week and CrossFit?
I CrossFit because after 15 years of intense involvement in organized sports, I’ve never found something that makes me question my physical and mental capacity and ability, or helped me prove to myself I CAN do it. CrossFit has helped me get stronger. I don’t mean pull-ups or deadlifts or double-unders. I mean in my head, I’m stronger. Someone telling me to keep squatting isn’t what keeps me going. For the first time in my life I know I can.
I’ve never EVER met a CrossFitter who doesn’t have a reason to go in everyday and work themselves so hard – and it’s very rarely because “I want a hot body”. There is more to this – it’s a game I play with myself to be better than the day before. To be ready for anything anyone throws at me and be prepared for it – in my head and my heart. Maybe my muscles help me through “Barbara”, but it’s my head and my heart that tell me to keep going.
Don’t get me wrong, my body looks better, I feel better, I sleep better – all very awesome reasons to do this, but as far as I’m concerned, that’s just icing on the cake that I shouldn’t be eating because it’s SO not Zone.
Of course, this is just little ol’ me, so ask yourself, why do YOU CrossFit? If you haven’t started – ask yourself why not? You’ve got nothing to lose and an amazing life to gain.
