Hey Women of the Challenge! My son and I just did a completely statistically randomized drawing involving lists and dice. Just like Las Vegas. I wanted to honor the extra efforts being put in by these lovely Get Some Challengers by giving away a prize. Don’t forget Challengers-You have until April 10th to raise those [...]

Raymond here has found one legit use for our foam rollers. I believe perched on the top of the stack is an Orca named Willy. There is another more Crossfit-related use for these things however. A lot of times we look at training hard, doing CrossFit, as the magic pill to make us wonderful. Training [...] This is what the rest of the world of fitness is reminding you about these days. Even many CrossFit Affiliates are urging their clients to get their nutrition dialed in because swim suit season is right around the corner. I am urging you to get your nutrition dialed in so you can live longer and [...] I want to congratulate the people who came this morning and got a rowing lesson. It is really exciting to know that people are into learning new things and getting better. Jerry really clarified some things for me, and I think, most of us there. I never knew that when the chain makes that snapping [...] Hey all, Your power snatches are looking better and better these days. The two primary things I’ve noticed watching you all are: 1.Using your arms to get the bar off the ground. Your arms shouldn’t really do the work. 2. Being too far forward onto the balls of your feet. Get your weight back in your heels. Here are [...] 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, [...] |
