By Jordan Feigenbaum So this is about a week two weeks late, but I thought I would catalogue my thoughts about how my foray into the world of CrossFit has been going along with my reflections on the 2016 CrossFit Open.

While in London, we visited CrossFit Perpetua where I did a nutrition seminar to a very small group- mainly because it was like a day or two before Christmas. Anyway, we recorded it, cleaned it up, and finally have uploaded it for rent […]
