Sunday Reading 4/22

Maybe today during a break in your golf program, or your morning coffee routine, you can add a little CrossFit info to the mix. Every Sunday I will be posting some "Sunday Reading" for the adults. The focus will be on kid related topics.

We have heard, and most of us believe that CrossFit is good for our kids' bodies and brains. Check out this video by Dr. Jon Gary as he explains why we should have our little ones doing CrossFit and why it is so important to keep up our work in homework club. He does a great job explaining scientific reasoning in everyday language. Be encouraged that what we are doing for the next generation is healthy and worth it!

See you soon!
