Stilll smilin after the “300″ Challenge!
 
For those of you who showed up last night for a WOD only to be turned away by a friendly police officer, well there was a bomb threat in our building  so we were evacuated during the 4pm WOD.  Apparently, there was a robbery at the cash place at the end of the building and a suspicious package was left behind. Last I heard, there was a bomb squad coming in to investigate.
So here’s the craziest part of all, Chris Shephard ( pictured above right) was 10 pull-ups away from finishing the WOD when the police officer entered our place to tell us to get out. He refused to quit his workout so risking his life and  others (it was worth it) he finished his pull-ups! That my friends is a true die-hard devoted CrossFItter!

Today’s WOD

“Tabata Something Else”

Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises. Your score is the lowest number of reps performed in each exercise.

Post lowest number of reps from all exercises to comments

As you can see, we are going to post the wod’s again. We just wanted to get a message across that people should come in regardless of what wod is posted. Everything is scaleable.

Our 4pm class will NOT be cancelled afterall. We mentioned to a few members that it would be cancelled but for now we have decided to continue.

This is what a 7:10 2k row looks like!

Today’s WOD

5 km run

We want to give you guys a heads up to make sure you come prepared with proper shoes and clothing. For non-runners, the distance can be scaled.  The 5k run is one of our bench-mark wod’s so it will be timed.

Some good reminders:

Beliefs
1 Everything happens for a reason
2 No such thing as failure
3 Whatever happens take responsibility
4 You don’t need to know everything to use things and to do things
5 People are your greatest resource
6 Work is play
7 No success without commitment
 
5 keys to success
 
1 Learn to handle/control frustration – don’t sweat the small stuff & everything is small stuff
2 Learn to handle rejection – Learn to deal with someone saying “no”
3 Learn to handle financial pressure
4 Learn to handle complacency. Keep trying to grow and achieve. Never lose your drive. When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot. Judge yourself by your own goals and dreams, and not those of those around you.
5 Give more then you expect to receive. Make it a habit.

300 Burpees Down…4750 to go!

Just a reminder, this Saturday’s Olympic lifting class is canceled and the Free Trial CrossFit Beginners class is at 10am instead of 11am due to the Grand Opening.

Most of you are probably wondering why the wod hasn’t been posted over the last 2 days. We’ve noticed that some people will not come out if  we post a wod that they don’t like. We especially notice a poor turnout  when there’s lifting involved in the workouts. The aim of CrossFit is to create a well rounded athlete who is competent in all 10 domains of fitness so we want to make everyone of you strong in the areas where you are weak. We all have our weaknesses and that’s why we need to do the things we enjoy the least to make us well rounded.

World-Class Fitness in 100 words:

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, C&J, 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.
