From Slashdot:

“According to an interview with Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology from the University of California, San Francisco, fructose, once touted as diabetic-friendly because it doesn’t raise insulin levels directly, could be a major culprit for the obesity epidemic, high blood pressure, and elevated blood levels of LDL in Americans and others worldwide as they adopt American-style diets. Fructose comprises 50% of table sugar and up to 90% of high-fructose corn syrup, both ingredients found in copious quantity in most American prepared foods.”

Even though we don’t have a Ph. D. in Endocrinology here at CrossFit Oahu, we somehow had the foresight to not sell any drinks with high-fructose corn syrup here. Why do you think many training facilities will sell unhealthy food or drinks to their clients? How much can a fitness facility really care for the people that work out there if they preach a healthy lifestyle and turn around and sell them junk?  Are profits more important than principles? Post your thoughts to the comments.

Greg called me the other day and asked, “Is your 6:00pm workout the most intense workout of the day?”. I promptly responded that it is and went on to explain that in every workout the exercise/skills are scaled to your current strength/ability by the coach. Therefore, every workout is the perfect intensity for you. Greg showed up this morning for our 11:00am for his first crossfit workout and needless to say, was satisfied by the intensity of the workout. Congrats Greg on completing your first CrossFit workout.
