Often white people get defensive when the subject of white privilege arises, as if you are supposed to feel guilty. We don’t want your guilt. We need your awareness. The burden of ending racism is not ours alone.

Attention Canadian Box Owners!! Check out this petition that can help you!

SIGN THE PETITION ‼️ And support your local studio‼️ Many small businesses have been excluded from the COVID-19 Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA). The CEBA provides credit for small businesses to pay immediate operating costs such as payroll, rent. utilities, insurance, property tax or debt service. It is 100% funded by the Government of Canada.
However, many small businesses who are most vulnerable at this time do not qualify due to the "Payroll Test" this loan program requires.
The requirement: "This loan is available to Canadian Employers with $50,000 to $1 million in total payroll in 2019." Although the Government of Canada web page states this loan is for "smaller (i.e. micro) businesses" this 'Payroll Test' is excluding these same businesses this loan is meant to help. Businesses who operate as sole proprietors or partnerships and even small biz corps that take salary as dividends -with a small staff or low payroll expenese are finding they do not have $50,000 in payroll expenses for 2019. Also, business owners who do not take a salary for payment because of how their businesses are set up are also not eligible for the program. (Many small business owners who are just starting up, often do not take a salary in order to keep money in the company to operate). Therefore, we are asking "THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ELIMINATE THE PAYROLL TEST IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS LOAN MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE SMALL BUSINESSES IT IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT.
Please take a moment and sign the petition at change.org and SHARE this important message. .

At this point we have all felt the impact of COVID-19. Your gym has likely pivoted to at-home work outs and we have seen so many boxes offer innovative ways to provide their community with healthy- safe - fun ways to keep active and get inspired.
CF HQ has designed an online competition fundraiser to help affiliates impacted by COVID-19. Participation is voluntary. Here are the details:

The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser

Event Format

Over a three-week period, CrossFit will release three classic workouts, each with a scaled option that can be performed with minimal or no equipment by athletes of any ability level. All athletes who participate will have their names displayed on the Open leaderboard during the competition and will be able to create smaller leaderboards among friends, family, and other members of their affiliate by using leaderboard hashtags.
Registration will take place on games.crossfit.com/open beginning on or before Wednesday, March 31, and will remain open for the duration of the competition. The first workout will be released on Friday, April 3.

How to Get Involved

Anyone can participate in the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser. Payment is not required. We understand that many face financial difficulties at this time, and we want everyone in your communities to have the opportunity to participate without barriers.
When participants register, they will have the option to select a contribution amount ranging from $20 to $1,000, or participate at no cost. Participants can select which affiliate they want to receive their contribution. When the competition closes, 100% of the proceeds collected will be distributed to affiliates in accordance with their roster of supporters. CrossFit, Inc. will distribute all registration funds to the designated affiliates.

• B E H A P P Y
Unhappiness starts with doing a little LESS than we can. 🤔
So here are 5 things you CAN DO:

😊1 GIVE COMPLIMENTS
This trains your mind to look for the positive.

😊2 START KEEPING A GRATITUDE JOURNAL
Write down 3 things you’re thankful for at the end of each day. Dr. Robert A. Emmons and Michael McCullough’s research found that people who kept a gratitude journal were 25% happier.

😊3 PERFORM ONE ACT OF KINDNESS A DAY
As you start you’ll notice more opportunities to be kind. A study showed that kind acts increase happiness, and performing kind acts starts shifting our mindset to a more positive outlook.

😊4 FLOW
Research shows that lasting pleasure and satisfaction comes from activities that bring about a state of “flow”, a state where we’re fully engaged in an activity that is easy, rewarding and occupies our minds completely. Hmm working out - yoga - mediation?? You bet!

😊5 KEEP THE RIGHT COMPANY. Now may be the perfect time to practice this as you may be home with family - but you can
write down the three people you hang out with the most. Next to each person’s name write their qualities. When you’re done, continue reading…
Do you want to be like these people? We’re most heavily influenced by the people we hang out with the most. This large-scale study shows, that being around happy people will make you happier.

It’s not too late to make a difference in this amazing campaign with
And it’s not just today that we need to have compassion, understanding, awareness and provide support for those that suffer. Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people which means that we all know someone who may be suffering in silence.
Encouraging communication is the first step. Break the silence.

As we mourn the loss of all 9 in the helicopter crash including Gianna Bryant- the loss of Kobe is felt globally. His gift was not only basketball but as a teacher. He taught the world what it means to be relentless with your goals, unwavering with your vision, and unstoppable with your work ethic.
You’ll never be forgotten.

BARBELL DENIM WOD 4
AMRAP 12min
24 OH KBs
24 Pullups
24 HR Pushups
24 Toes 2 Bar
*athletes can partition the work as they like but MUST tag when switching partners*
**1 athlete must work at a time**

Overhead Kettlebell Swings
Intermediate Men 24kg
Intermediate Women 16kg
Novice Men 16kg
Novice Women 12kg
KB starts on the ground, handle up. Using both hands the athlete grabs the handle of the KB and stands upright with the hips extended. The athlete then begins the lowering arc of the movement. The KB must pass behind the heels at the bottom. The athlete then begins the rising arc and the movement finishes when the KB is fully inverted (bell over the handle), centered over the feet with the hips and knees fully extended and the arms straight throughout the full movement. No KB Snatching.

Pull-ups (Intermediate) - Strict or kipping pull-ups are allowed. Butterfly pull-ups are NOT allowed. Pull-ups begin with the Athlete in full arm extension and feet not touching anything. The bottom of the chin must go above the bar before descending to full arm extension. At least one palm must be facing AWAY from you. A mixed grip is fine but both palms facing you (chin up) is not allowed. NO REP- No reps include the chin not going above the bar, the feet touching anything, the arms not being fully extended in the down position or using the jump to the bar as momentum for the first rep. If a jump is required to get to the bar the Athlete must first dead hang with arms fully extended before beginning reps.

Ring Rows (Novice) - Rings will have been pre-adjusted so the bottom of the ring is 40 inches from the floor. A piece of tape will be on the floor directly below the rings. The Athlete will begin with the back of their heels on the far side of the tape (furthest away from the hands) and gripping the rings. The Athlete will bend their knees and lean back without the heels ever moving to the near side of the tape (the side closest to the hands). The Athlete is in a proper position when the toes are up, heels are the only part of the foot touching the ground OR the feet are flat with the back of the heels on the far side of the tape, AND the body is in a straight line from ankle to neck with arms fully extended. Without kipping or losing the rigid body position the Athlete will pull their chest toward the rings. A rep is complete when the hands break the plane of the chest. NO REP- No reps include not having the body in a rigid line from ankle to neck, the rings not breaking the plane of the chest or the back of the heels moving to the near side of the tape.

HR-Pushups -
All Athletes except Novice female:
A straight body position must be maintained throughout the push-up. No snaking, sagging or pushing up from the knees is allowed. The elbows must be locked out at the top with the feet no wider than shoulder width. At the bottom, the chest (ni**le line or above) must touch the floor, and the hands must be lifted completely off the ground.
With the toes and rest of body on the ground a rep starts by lifting the hands off the floor and pressing the hands to the floor until the elbows are fully extended and only the toes and hands are touching the floor. The hips and shoulders should rise in unison with everything between the ankle and shoulder reasonably in line. The athlete then descends down, maintains the line, lifts the hands off the floor and continues. NO REP: Excessive snaking, sagging, pushing up from the knees, not releasing the hands from the ground, not pressing to full elbow extension with only the toes and hands on ground, if the toes/knees leave the ground at ANY time, if the hips don't rise in line with shoulders.

Novice female:
No-Rock Hand-release on-knees pushup: Same as the standard but replace toes with knees. Knees must be on the ground at all times.
We want REAL pushups. The hips should rise in unison with the shoulders and the toes must NOT leave the ground (no rocking). One great way to avoid snaking is to keep your thighs off the floor.
Toes 2 Bar (Intermediate) - Toes to Bar - In the toes-to-bar, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes touch the pull-up bar. Both feet must touch the bar together, inside the hands. The arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom and the feet must be brought back to behind the bar, not out front.
Hanging Knee-Raise (Novice) - In the hanging knee-raise, the arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom with the feet off the ground, and the feet must be brought back behind the bar and the rest of the body. An overhand, underhand or mixed-grip are all permitted. At the top of the repetition, the athlete must raise the knees above the height of the hips.
