Adjusting position

Just watch how he gracefully shifts his center of mass from side to side to accommodate his change in foundation.  Knowing how to move your body in alignment with your position in space seems so obvious but is still an ability that many of us, as adults, sorely lack.  Perhaps we’ll work on [...]

January’s Blueprint becomes February’s

“Romanian deadlifts are an excellent assistance exercise for deadlifts and squats. They build muscle and power in the hamstrings and glutes and also hit the lower back quite well. The Romanian deadlift is great for athletes because it’s performed in the stance very similar to the “ready position” used in so many sports (hips [...]

Reminders

The Women-Only CrossFit class busted out the weight vests yesterday and finished up with some picture perfect Deadlift complexes.  Very very inspired by this group of women who said they want a class of all women, but they don’t want an easier workout.  Grab onto your bootstraps…

Tonight at 6pm is the second in [...]

Static Holds under Fatigue

This week both the Daily CrossFit Class and the Blueprint class experienced the challenge of holding static positions under fatigue.  Daily CrossFit held planks following lateral burpees and Blueprint did chin-over-bar hold following a 400m run.  It’s tough to maintain those positions when your breathing is seriously labored and it is tough to [...]

Strength is Happiness: A Parkour Documentary

Parkour is ridiculously awesome.  The MovNat guys are awesome too, but we don’t all live in the jungles of Thailand or the forests of West Virginia.  Parkour is The People’s version of Natural Movement.

I don’t think it is too much of a stretch to say that when we, as humans, feel strong [...]

Still a Salt ‘n’ Pepa girl, but now an athlete

SUBTITLE: DOES YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM TREAT YOU LIKE AN ATHLETE?

My girls.

In our CrossFit gym each and every client is considered an athlete.  This is a radical difference from the way that clients are dealt with in other gyms and fitness programs. Being identified as an athlete is indicative [...]

Taking Ownership of your Effort with the RPE scale

I realize it might feel a little differently not being on the beach…

There are many different systems designed to help an athlete communicate with their coach (and yes, CrossFit considers every single person who does CrossFit to be an athlete).  One of the systems we use to facilitate communication between [...]
