Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, CFUM! Scores showed up yesterday at the War Memorial Track & Field to honor CFUM founder Kaye Whitney, demonstrate solidarity within our Neighbor Island CrossFit community and get in a good workout. Frank and I watched with chicken skin the largest gathering to date of local CrossFitters, who showed that we share a bond bound by sweat and the fact that we all are connected through this island. Special thanks to all the affiliate owners: Robert and Kristi of CF Raw Fitness Maui; Danny and Whitney of CF Maui; Anthony and Meghan of CF Lahaina; and Lee and Michelle of CF Maui Extreme, along with special guests and Games athletes Freddy Camacho and Chyna Cho of CrossFit One World; CFUM longtime friend Jor of CF One World; Lance Whitney; and all the local affiliate coaches, members and off-island affiliate members. Local CrossFitters enjoyed hanging out and meeting one another. Owners agreed that more gatherings like this will be planned for the near future. Here’s to an even healthier and stronger Maui!

Paleo Talk with Kinsey, This Monday at 6pm
Research indicates that exercise alone (without also eating a proper diet) only minimally affects weight loss. Further, physical appearance is due in great part to the foods that we consume on a daily basis. It’s no wonder that Mark Sisson says “You can’t exercise away a bad diet.”
This Monday, April 9th at 6:00PM-6:30PM-ish, Kinsey Jackson (Paleo Nutrition Consultant) will be giving a presentation on the Paleo Diet, explaining exactly how we can optimize our energy levels by eating the way that nature has intended. Despite your familiarity with the Paleo Diet, we encourage you to come on Monday to learn more about how eating the right foods is absolutely essential in your quest to look, feel, and perform your very best!
Monday will also be the last day to sign-up for the special 30 Day Paleo Challenge Kinsey is hosting in honor of Crossfit Upcountry Maui’s founder, Kaye Whitney. Kinsey is donating a portion of the proceeds back to the box to buy us some new equipment in honor of Kaye. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the box, while experiencing first-hand how amazing it feels to fuel your body with the foods that nature intended us to eat…it’s a win-win!
