Do Your Impossible...

Challenge yourself everyday to do the things others say you cant do...Better yet, do the things you think you cant do.

Crossfit Women Rock!

I happened to catch a show the other day talking about how women today are given an image of what they're suppose to look like in todays society at a very young age all over the globe. It made me sick! Starving themselves to look how a certine magazine says they should look, plasic surgery and so on. What I love about the crossfit mentality is I dont give a s#@*! what you think about me! I'm empowered!! I wake up every day happy with who I am today, and stoked about what I will acheive next. Crossfit is designed to increase your daily work capacity, and make you stonger in every day life. In the proccess you gain mental capacity(head strength) and just so happen to burn fat like its going out of style:)Crossfit:it's not a fad, it's a mind set.

I AM CROSSFIT!!

Better, Faster, Stonger...

I set goals every day for myself in all areas of my life. My latest goal in fitness is for 2011...Qualify for the Crossfit Games 2011!! I am making moves, and training harder than ever before. Give it all I've got, eat clean, and recover...I will succeed!

Shoot For the Stars!!

Have you challenged yourself today? This is a question I have started asking myself everyday. Did I push as hard as I could? Did I give my all in every second of the workout? Did I do something I've been putting off because of my own fear? Everyday I want you to ask yourself these things...Are you being honest with yourself?! Challenge yourself today. Shoot for the stars, and if you fall short you'll land on the clouds.

CORE!

What about abs?? I have been doing crossfit for about 3 and a half years, and coaching it around 2 years. One thing I always hear, and used to think to myself..."What about abs?" Well, let's discuss why you never see ab crunches involved in a crossfit workout. First and foremost, a crunch is not a functional movement! Crossfits definition...Constantly varied FUNCTIONAL movements performed at high intensity. So if you were laying on the ground, would you do a crunch to sit up, and get yourself off the ground? NO! You would SIT UP. Crossfit is based on these these movements. Things you do in everyday life, sit up, push up, squat, pull up, deadlift(picking up a sack of groceries). Do 10 reps of each of those movements X10 for time, and you have a crossfit workout. The other reason you dont see crunches in a WOD(workout of the day)is every movement in crossfit is a core to extremity movement. Meaning, your abs should be the source of all the power in every movement! The biggest example would probably be the overhead squat. Imagine holding 200 pounds above your head and performing a squat!Tell me what muscle group you think is doing almost every bit of the work to keep that weight above your head. CORE! ABS! Whatever you want to call them, they are the main muscle group in just about every activity we do in life. So crossfit trains these muscles accordingly. If you doubt me, do the workout named "Nancy." Four rounds for time of: 400 meter run and 15 oh squats performed with 95lbs and tell me how those abs feel:) Core baby! Get some!
