IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN CROSSFIT’S NEW COMMERICAL YET…

Pretty cool to see how CrossFit is growing.  A couple years ago, we would have laughed at the thought of a CrossFit commercial.  In 2005 there were less than 100 affiliates and now, in 2012 there are over 3,000.  Where will this movement of functional varied intense fitness take us?  I think that is for YOU to decide!  You make CrossFit what you want to make it.  The opportunity for elite fitness is right in the palm of our hands.  What will you do with it in 2012?

I’ve got one idea!!!  Plan to sign up for the CrossFit Games Open starting February 22nd!  Read more about it HERE.

TWO GREAT EVENTS COMING UP SOON…

This Saturday, Jan 14th at 7:30am I will be hosting a PULL-UP CLINIC. I will be going over pull-up drills for the kipping pull-up, but most importantly I will be demonstrating how to go about getting stronger specifically for your pull-up capacity.  Seminar will start promptly at 7:30 this Saturday and just run 30 minutes.  I will have a Pull-up program handout for everyone and we will walk through the steps of getting your first pull-up or several pull-ups in a row during this time.  If you want to fine tune your kip OR learn how to build shoulder stability and strength to be able to pull-up then YOU need to come Saturday.  Send an email to lindsey@crossfithendersonville.com if you are in!

Next up on the “gotta come to list” is the NUTRITION SEMINAR next Monday evening, January 16th at 6:00pm.  We will be covering quality of food AND quantity of food.  In a nutshell, that means that you will learn the best foods you can eat for your health AND you will learn the portion sizes that you need to be at your optimal weight!  Don’t want to miss this…especially if you are a new member!  If you have been to a seminar before and need a refresher please feel free to come. We will have plenty of room for you.  You will receive a couple handouts, but grab your notebook before you sit down because you might want to take notes.  This seminar does NOT need a reservation so SEE YOU MONDAY NIGHT!

Now, for a little more rowing advice…

7 DAYS DOWN IN THE ROWING CHALLENGE…

Only 22 more days to go!  How are you getting your meters in?  Getting to class 20 minutes early to row for warm-up?  Staying after class for 10minutes to get a couple thousand meters in?  What about pulling a double day when you have some extra time one day a week?  Whatever it is!  You better get on it, because there are athletes who have rowed over 25,000 this week!

Check out this video for a quick tip on recovery.  Remember, while you are putting all these meters in focus on TECHNIQUE.  Especially in the first couple weeks.  Nail down your technique so that you become a better rower when Feb 1 gets here.  Ask a coach to watch you row for a few strokes, so they can see your movement, and they can help give you some tips.

GOT YOUR ROW ON???

If you haven’t started rowing yet, you better get on it!  You are 1 day behind! The first challenge we are introducing in 2012 will be our NEW ROWING CHALLENGE. How many meters can you row in 30 days?  Here are the logistics…

All rowing counts, except for any rows that are subbed for something in a workout, which would typically be running/jumping.

You are to log your meters in your notebook.  There is no special place we will keep up with your meters.  This is the honor system folks!

We will not be announcing the leader at any point.  Want to make sure you are the leader of the pack?  Like I said above, you better start rowing!  If you think you haven’t rowed enough, row some more!

Remember to log your meters everyday.  Also, log your pace times, your finish time, your stroke/minute.  This challenge is not just for the heck of it, but rather to make you a better rower.  Keeping up with your stats can help you become a better rower.  You becoming a better rower means more than just what it sounds.  You will become stronger plus have a bigger engine by developing more cardiovascular endurance and stamina.

In our 2 years of being a CrossFit affiliate, we have only had 2 challenges like this one.  Remember last winter we did the Push-up Challenge?  Then the next quarter we followed with a Hollow Rock Challenge?  Your winners were Angela DiBrito and Ranie Jones so watch out for these ladies!!!  They will be out to beat you and hold their title!

READY FOR GUEST WEEK???

JANUARY 2ND-JANUARY 14TH…all classes OPEN to guests

The coolest part about guest week is having the opportunity to let your friends and family understand what you do while you are at the gym.  CrossFit is very hard to explain to someone who has never participated in it.  It is an eye opening experience for friends/family!  Nobody really gets the concept until they have gone through a few WOD’s, right?  You were there. Each of you really didn’t know what you were getting into. Heck, I didn’t even know what I was getting into?  Did I think I was going to ever be fitter than I was as a college athlete?  No!  I thought I would just try to “maintain.”  Well, we all know now that there is always potential to get fitter.  (Your definition of “fitter” might change as you age, but nonetheless, you can still become a fitter you!)

So…bring your friends and family and let them get a taste of what you do at the box. If you do brings friends, please help keep an eye on them while they are in class with you.  You guys have been taught how to move and we love to see you teach it back to someone new.

Sometimes guest week can be a little crazy, but I want each of you to know that YOU, our members, are always the priority.  Don’t be overwhelmed by potential large class numbers that you might see, but use that energy as fuel for your workout!  Let’s have some fun next week!

We will take 2 weeks off of strength training.  On January 16th we will be introducing a NEW strength program!  We are introducing new lifts, new rep schemes, and a whole new level of fitness.

Check out this CRAZY video for some incredible action by the human body!
