Staying Interested

Scott

In CrossFit, the potential for improvement is limitless. Month after month, year after year, your capacity can grow.

"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses,  clean and jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports."

Rest Day

Seriously Focused

Brad, determined

There are many details to learn when it comes to human movement and performance. Those details demand a high level of focus and attention. I heard once that "We will be winning over the smart people first." In other words, the more you pay attention, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more fit you get.

Final Days

The one and only Kevin

Later this month, Kevin and Ann are moving to Davis. It is with a heavy heart that we will say farewell to two of our longest standing and hardest working athletes. We cannot say enough great things about the two of them, and wish them well on their next adventure. Kevin has an impeccable eye for movement and will make a tremendous coach one day, if he so decides. Ann's positivity and work ethic will continue to take both her and Kevin places. I plan to soak up every bit of these two before they go. Time to plan the going away party, ya'll.
