CrossFit and The Training Ground want to thank everyone for supporting our Saturday Boot Camps. We've had great turn outs lately with an average of about 20 Boot Campers each Saturday. 

With the large number of participants each Saturday it is evident to me as a coach that I need more help and more equipment to better service each Boot Camp participant. In order to provide you with more equipment and qualified coaches it is necessary for me to begin charging for the Boot Camp classes. This will be used to pay additional coaches and purchase more equipment.

Starting August 23rd, 2008 each participant will be required to pay for Saturday CrossFit Boot Camp classes. First time visitors will receive their first 4 Saturday's FREE (All 4 Saturday Boot Camp sessions must be completed in a 30 period). After the thirty day trial Boot Camp participants must either be a Training Ground member or sign up for CrossFit training.

All U.S. Adults Could Be Overweight in 40 Years


By Amy NortonWed Aug 6, 3:12 PM ET

 NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - If the trends of the past three decades continue,                                          it's possible that every American adult could be overweight 40 years from now,                                            a government-funded study projects.

The figure might sound alarming, or impossible, but researchers say that even                                              if the actual rate never reaches the 100-percent mark, any upward movement                                             is worrying; two-thirds of the population is already overweight.

"Genetically and physiologically, it should be impossible" for all U.S. adults to                                      become overweight, said Dr. Lan Liang of the federal government's                                                    Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, one of the researchers on the study.

However, she told Reuters Health, the data suggest that if the trends of the past                                         30 years persist, "that is the direction we're going."

Already, she and her colleagues point out, some groups of U.S. adults have                                         extremely high rates of overweight and obesity; among African- American women,                                     for instance, 78 percent are currently overweight or obese.

The new projections, published in the journal Obesity, are based on government                                  survey data collected between the 1970s and 2004.

If the trends of those years continue, the researchers estimate that 86 percent of                                 American adults will be overweight by 2030, with an obesity rate of 51 percent.                                           By 2048, all U.S. adults could be at least mildly overweight.

Weight problems will be most acute among African-Americans and Mexican- Americans,                           the study projects. All black women could be overweight by 2034, according to the                         researchers, as could more than 90 percent of Mexican-American men.

All of this rests on the "big assumption" that the trends of recent decades will march on                   unabated, Liang acknowledged.

"This is really intended as a wake-up call to show what could happen if nothing changes,"                         she said.

Waistlines aren't the only thing poised to balloon in the future, according to Liang and                               her colleagues. They estimate that the healthcare costs directly related to excess                                   pounds will double each decade, reaching $957 billion in 2030 -- accounting for one                                    of every six healthcare dollars spent in the U.S.

Those financial projections are based on Census data and published estimates of                                     the current healthcare costs attributed to excess weight -- and they are probably                                          a "huge underestimate" of what the actual costs will be, Liang said.

The findings highlight a need for widespread efforts to improve Americans' lifestyles                                 and keep their weight in check, according to the researchers. Simply telling people                                      to eat less and exercise more is not enough, Liang noted.

Broader social changes are needed as well, she said -- such as making communities                             more pedestrian-friendly so that people can walk regularly, or getting the food industry                                to offer healthier, calorie-conscious choices.

"It really needs to be more than an individual effort," Liang said.                                                                    "It needs to be a societal effort."

CrossFit Marines

Hey there,

 

Can’t believe I am just finding out about a Crossfit Gym in Fort Myers now. Damn!!! I am a Team Leader in the Marine Corps Reserve living here in the Fort Myers area and have been an avid Crossfit disciple for a year now. It has been some of the best training I have found for my Marines to get them physically prepared for our deployment. We were introduced to it while training with some brothers of ours from a West Coast SEAL Team last year.

 

We have been on the road for about 5 months getting ready to deploy again and trying to Crossfit has been almost impossible, almost. Just wanted to say that it is GREAT to know that there is going to be a place for me to train with fellow Crossfitters, when I get home next summer. We are not sure where we will end up yet but I can assure you that KB’s, rings, etc have already been packed. Keep up the good work and Semper Fi.

 

Chris

Just wanted to let everyone know that Darian's powerlifting competition is being rescheduled for Oct. 25th, 2008 now. The Ft. Myers event did not have enough participants so they are moving it to a larger competition in Tampa. For those of you that want to attend I will send more information for times, location and maps of the event as we get closer to Oct. 25th.

This just gives Darian more time to train to get BIGGER lifts!

Support BIG D's BIG DAY!

Hey CrossFitters,

As most of you already know my son Darian is entering his first Powerlifting Competition August 16th, 2008. It will be held at the Clarion Hotel 12635 South Clevend Ave. in Ft. Myers, Fl. 33907. The competition will start at 10:00 am and probably last until 2:00 or 3:00 pm. Admission is FREE!

He has worked extremely hard over the past 2 years to get ready for this this event and we would love to have everyone come out to support him. He always performs better in front of a crowd. It really gets him pumped up.

To show your support the day of the event make sure you pick up your Big D Powerlifting Gear.
