Cue You

It didn't take long - in hindsight, to learn the basic fundamental movements of CrossFit, but once in awhile we have to throw out the cues that make athlete's react, and react they did. . .

Honoring The Hero

Exceptional job last night on "Abbate" . . .

The CrossFit Virus - Getting the Bug

It started so innocently. . . you know, the CrossFit journey that now has taken a hold on your life.  It started out as a couple of trips to the gym, and POOF. . .

Write it Down - Being Prepared

When we workout or we are getting ready to workout, we should be prepared right?  As prepared as we can be. . .

It Starts Somewhere

Not that we don't already know this, but I came to appreciate the simple statement that everything has to start somewhere, so indulge me . . .

Week 1 Done

So I took the plunge, I put my $10 out there into the CrossFit pool to see where I stand amongst those that compete.  Now, I am pretty sure there are no excuses to anything, but I gotta throw this one out there. . .

Strength

There isn't too much that surprises me on a daily basis, but last night happened to do that and I would like to take the time to discuss a little bit about the technique of the power clean and then talk about last night's workout.

Getting Ready

I started last night off on a sour note.  I was recovering from being sick and I wasn't about to let down the athlete's that I coach and not be there for them.  As I was already on antibiotics and cold medicine, the only thing I really didn't have was my voice, but I would be there for them.

Spent

It means to be done, finished, gasping for air, unclear on where you are and what you are doing, c'mon, you know what I mean. . . .

The Second Step

Congratulations on getting your buttocks to the gym, last week, yesterday or tomorrow.  At the very least the hardest part is done, you have started by Taking the First Step, now let's talk about the the second step. . .

Never Alone

I don't normally have the time to participate in too many group classes.  My schedule kind of prohibits my ability to make it to a 6 am class and I am usually Coaching the night classes, but I had a different instance last night, and many other nights besides this particular one . . .

Reactions

We all act differently when faced with challenges - for most people the gut reaction to this particular question is what type of challenge is it, in my eyes, what's the difference?

Evolution of a Class

It wasn't too long ago, about a year and 6 months ago today, that 3-6 people was the common number of people per class, oh my oh my, how times have really started to change. . .

Oh Music

Music has a tendency to define people.  There are all different walks of life that have a different rhythm for everything, but how interesting is it that the people who CrossFit, who are all different, put those cares aside for 1 min to 1 hour, just to become better?
