Happy Father's Day

What does this picture(below) have to do with today's workout? This was my Father's Day gift from my family. I named CrossFit Legacy in honor of my family.
Five years ago, I was 45lbs overweight and in horrible health. I ate to much, slept to little, and exercised even less. I would actually fall asleep playing with my kids. After my wife Randa, told me that she wanted me around for a long time....I decided to make better choices for my health. To make a long story a little bit shorter, I lost 45lbs in 7 months and felt great. I had more energy than I had had in years. Now I was the one wearing my kids out.

Why CF Legacy though? I named it CF Legacy because someone invested time, energy, and effort into me. He challenged me...."what type of legacy are leaving?" At that point, I did not know.
Fast forward a few years, and I find CrossFit and I begin to do the workouts. In NO time, I was stronger, faster, and more powerful than I had been in college when I played baseball for Malone College.
I apply for affiliation and decide on CF Legacy because I want to show my children(Ryan, Samuel, and Randy) that they can change the world by simply DECIDING to do something.

To quote best selling author Andy Andrews, "You have been created with the ability to change the world. Every single choice you make...every single action you take...matters. But remember, the converse is also true. Every choice you do not make. Every action you do not take...matters just as much.

I want my boys to see that by taking action and investing in the lives of others, you can change the world. If you believe in people until they believe in themselves, you play a part in the changing of someone's life. That is what I want CF Legacy to be about. It is not just a place to workout and get in amazing shape. I want it to touch all aspects of the person...physical, emotional, and spiritual. We are not islands. We function best--affect one another best--in community and I am excited to see the community of people flocking to CF Legacy.
CF Legacy will make changes in the world. Imagine how becoming more active and alive will affect your family. Imagine how being around like minded people will change the way you look at life. What if...in your interactions with family, friends, and loved-ones, you give them the courage to make decisions for the betterment of their life, and they do the same for someone else, and someone else, and someone else....imagine.....What if?
Can you see it? I can. Lets do it together. Lets leave a Legacy that we all an be proud of.
