[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to March 14 and Day 73 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day in 1998, “Getting Jiggy Wit It” started a three week
Our song for today is American actor and rapper, Will Smith’s “Getting Jiggy Wit It“. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart from March 14, 1998. It also won a Grammy Award in 1999 for the Best Rap Solo Performance.
The song samples the 1979 Sister Sledge song “He’s the Greatest Dancer“. The “mama-uh, mama-uh, mama come closer” line is a reference to the song “Soul Makossa” by Manu Dibango, specifically the version adapted by Michael Jackson in “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’“‘s final bridge.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Song of the Day” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]
The connotations associated with the expression getting jiggy are open to interpretation. 😉 The term was originally a description of sexy fashion or style, but expanded to include dancing skill. Whatever the genre, with St. Patrick’s Day coming up this week, it’s a good time to be getting jiggy!

“I thought I generally ate pretty well – not ideally, but not poorly. But I didn’t really like the way my body looked and felt tired a lot, so I thought I’d sign up for the CFB Nutrition Challenge to get a taste of what healthier eating could do for me.
WOW – I had NO idea!
Fat fell off me like I took a blowtorch to it – while I retained muscle. I felt so much better and had more energy – and didn’t feel like I was depriving myself of anything! I signed up for personalized coaching and in a few months Lauren helped me turn all those changes into permanent, sustainable habits (and results!).”

Huge shoutout to Will Hanlon on getting his FIRST EVER ring muscle-up during 26.2! 💪🔥
willhanlon1
Will has been a dedicated member of CFB for the past few years and truly embodies what it means to trust the process. He shows up, puts in the work, and keeps improving year after year.
Moments like this don’t happen overnight — they’re the result of consistency, effort, and refusing to quit when things get hard. Watching Will hit that first ring muscle-up during the Open was such a proud coach moment.
So pumped for you, Will. This is just the beginning! 👊

Week 2 of the CFB Intramural Open is officially in the books and 26.2 did not disappoint. This one tested everything — grip, lungs, pacing, and a little bit of grit when those pull-ups started getting spicy. The gym was loud, the efforts were huge, and we saw some awesome breakthroughs!
Current Team Standings After Week 2
🥇 “Thrust Issues” – 204 points
🥈 “Red, White & Swole” – 175 points
🥉 “Squat Squad” – 163 points
4️⃣ “Smells Like Team Spirit” – 145 points
Still plenty of points left on the table in Week 3…
Don’t forget this week’s theme is Tie Dye!
And to sweeten the pot anyone who works out at Friday night lights will earn 5 points for their team!

🔋 Where’s your battery at right now?
🎯 Focused
⚙️ Functioning
😵💫 Overworked
🪫 Depleted
🫠 Burnt out
Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear 👇
The answer isn’t more workouts.
And it’s definitely not just “more discipline.”
At CFB, we coach the whole picture — not just the hour you’re in the gym. Using the Healthy Steps Nutrition holistic framework, we look at what’s happening during the other 23 hours of your day:
→ Nutrition that actually fuels you (not leaves you wiped)
→ Sleep & recovery habits that support your training
→ Stress & lifestyle behaviors that matter more than you think
→ Accountability that’s realistic and sustainable
Because when you only train harder…
you stay overworked.
But when you support your body outside the gym,
you recharge your battery ⚡
and move from burnt out → focused → thriving.
🥦 Fuel smarter
🛌 Recover better
🚀 Perform longer
💬 Ready to stop running on empty?
