#34PickMeUp

Week 34 - July 10th

Surprising: Two "FitByFirsters"
Destination: Cheyenne, WY and Traverse City, MI
Content(s): #FitByFirst "Flashcards"

Last December, I joined a challenge called #FitByFirst. Back then, I thought it was just a way for me to shed a few pounds before ringing in the new year. But today, I can truly say it's so much more than that. It's MORE than just the weight. It's MORE than just the workouts. It's MORE than just an email. It's a fitness COMMUNITY that encourages you on the daily. And oh, what a feeling that is! 

This round, I was so moved by the group (we have a Facebook Group) that I offered to send a set of #FitByFirst flashcards, to any Fit By Firster that sent me their address. The flashcards would have all the WODS in one place, and it would be super easy to start back up again! A few people said they LOVED the idea, and would make the cards themselves. But I did have 2 people send me their addresses! So, I showed up in their mailbox, much like Carlos shows up in our Inboxes. Check out the finished product: 


A little backstory....FitByFirst is a challenge brainstormed by, the one and only, Carlos Whitaker. He's sends the FBF Crew an email each day (for one month), that contains workouts (WODs) and encouraging videos! Fit By First will now happen every season (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring).  You should join the next one! It starts in September 2015. Follow @loswhit on Instagram, and be on the lookout for details as it draws closer!
