I think Christy looks radiant. She has just finished her 75 burpees. This is an interesting workout. Pretty dull on paper. Lackluster on the whiteboard. But the effect… As Dave explained it, it is possible to do burpees until you pass out. You really don’t exactly reach muscular failure. You can’t possibly fail technically. You aren’t [...] Andres’ class has a certain responsibility. Usually it is your trainer’s job to help you keep on track with your goals and help you with accountability. But Andres has set himself an impressive goal of cleaning up the sailor language. The thing is, everyone loves a sailor, but this will be helpful for those of [...] I know you all live in the desert. Some of you are even from the desert, so it is absolutely legitimate that rowing might not be your best skill. But, now, you have to row sometimes and I promise IT GETS MUCH EASIER IF YOU DO IT PROPERLY!! Flailing around on the rower at high [...] A crew of us, Carl, Matt T, Janice, Andres, Dave and Kate headed out to get the Climb for a Cure started off right on Saturday. We teamed up with Simply Dinners owner, and 9am CrossFitter, Maureen to send the Climbers off warmed up and looking for handmade chocolates. Carl was undoubtedly the best at [...] We here at CrossFit Works like to see what you are made of every now and then. What happens when you are asked to do something unusual with the potential to make you look silly, fall down or gasp!…lose? Without getting too philosophical, CrossFit done properly with a team/group component can strengthen you for life [...] Check out the 6pm class as they listen to Dave explain “Fran”. Hilarious. I believe we should hold a contest for the best cartoon captions for each class member. Remember, for lots of these folks this is their first “Fran” experience. And-Andres’ 5:30pm class got a little surprise check on their progress in the Women’s Get-Some [...] Congratulations on “Fran” yesterday everyone. Two standouts were the always lovely Mike G. who did his in 5:35! A significant personal best. And…drumroll, maybe? Midori S. took SEVEN MINUTES off her previous time with the same version of the workout!!! Sometimes, measuring and timing things is fabulously rewarding. How are all you [...] Good rainy Sunday evening all. Paleo soup on the stove right now. I’ll get it on my blogspot soon and check out Kate’s most recent post!! Fantastic. Playing restaurant with Paleo options. Remember you can find links to our individual blogs if you look above on the “Trainer” option. Thumbs up to the rock [...] Mmmmm, lunch. Half a bag of Trader Joe’s mache (or by its non-Yuppie, weed name, lamb’s quarters), 1/2 box of Trader Joe’s microgreens, 4oz leftover grilled steak, a little olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. What does it mean to be ready for a Level II nutrition talk? It means you have committed to [...] I would like to highlight Alma U. today for 2 BIG reasons. First of all, Alma is showing a little of that “I really want to get this figured out spirit!” which we love. After her 1RM power snatch last week during class she knew she could get it a little better with more practice, [...] Hey all! Which is scarier? Learning to dance or learning CrossFit? We get fired up once a month to do a workout that is open to the public. CrossFit is a little tricky to “try out” because it takes some training and adjusting to learn how it is done. This reminds me that I want [...] Silas was my track partner on Sunday. Anyone else up for late morning Sunday track workouts? This is a concept that is central to CrossFit theory and practise. ”Comfortable with uncomfortable”. The basic idea is that if you stay in your comfort zone you remain comfortable, but you don’t take it to the next [...] One of my favorite, non-CrossFit women’s fitness blogs is Krista’s over at Stumptuous. She keeps an eye on all things dirty, heavy, real and womanly. She punches, lifts heavy weights, looks awesome and shares smart stuff. She brought my attention to a study regarding women on birth control pills and muscle building. This is an interesting [...] I like it when the 5k comes up. Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t like running, but it is really cool to see how people respond to this task. This morning we had Matt M. and Adrian take the top spots. Seems Adrian had a little extra motivation from two hot women in a truck-perhaps by [...] I want to clarify a little misconception about size and strength. Clearly, we all know that a tiny person will not have as much brute strength capability as a larger person. We know some of us are trying desperately to get a few pounds added to our bony frame so we can be a little [...] |
