Women

I was reading over a One World post from a few days back (July 31st, to be exact), and thought it was too good to just pass up or just simply link to. So, since cited plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery in my book, here is the copy/pasted excerpt from the One World site...

You girls who have been CrossFitting for awhile, and especially you ladies at One World who have been embracing the strength training, have at some point had to deal with some changes in yourself that take a bit of getting used to:

1. You aren't necessarily losing any weight, but...
2. Your waist is smaller.
3. Your ass and thighs are getting bigger, but...
4. Your body composition overall is leaner.
5. You are conditioned to think that you need to lose weight to look better, but...
6. Everyone is noticing how good you look!
7. You aren't the strongest person in your gym, but...
8. You are stronger than most of the guys at your workplace, and that, ladies, is empowering.

The results of following a good well planned strength AND conditioning program are amazing. The changes come quickly if you dedicate yourself to the program and make some simple changes in your nutrition. Unless you are taking steroids, a majority of all the women on the planet cannot lift weights and end up "getting big" or "looking like a man". I don't think there is a man on the planet who thinks the girl in the picture above looks like a man.

A woman can be powerful AND beautiful at the same time.

Well said, One World blog. Well said...

WiscFit now officially has a camera to upload pictures and videos with! Look out for a brand new picture library (probably in the form of a Flickr account), along with some new video shots of workouts and such. For now, the first order of business is to get a warm-up video compilation put together.

Yes, I know. Much like the brief Black Eyed Peas run I went on a few days back, the same thing is happening with David Guetta. Most likely, all but one or two of his songs from his "One Love" album will end up getting added to the WiscFit Music Library, so why not add them all at once? Saves me the time of searching for a new song by a different artist for another week and a half or so...
