Get off the scale!

scale

Using scales to tell us if we are in shape is ridiculous.  Emaciated endurance runners with little muscle mass may fall in the ideal weight range.  Are they fit?  A scale can also tell a well muscled female that she is “overweight”. .. is she unhealthy?

A great article by CrossFit Scars about the useless nature of a scale.  Read article here.

I’ll be back on Saturday to coach during our regular class time of 9:30am.  It should be a fun workout… but then again I’m not certain, it could also suck.  I guess we’ll see.

    Nice job Jennifer! That was awfully “nice” of Lauren to take you through that workout! It seemed to be a real crowd pleaser at the Sweat Shop. ;)
