Make plans to exercise!

We know the holidays can be hectic with travel, family visits, holiday parties, the end-of-year crunch at work, and a packed schedule in general. And we know the cold weather makes you want to cuddle up in sweatpants and you might think WHO REALLY CARES IF I PUT ON A FEW POUNDS SINCE IT’S COVERED UP IN LAYERS???

We do. We care. We want you all to continue your progress if you are traveling and away from CFM. So for the next week we’ll be posting Holiday Travel Workouts for you to do on the road…in the hotel gym…in Nana’s living room…back home in your garage…WHEREVER! We also encourage you to drop in to a local CrossFit Box if you’re out of town this weekend. Post a pic or video of your travel workout or drop in WOD to Instagram and tag @crossfitmidtown.
