        I know I’m not Ken, but if your looking for some ideas?!?
        If there is a gym at the resort, you will probably have a few things you can use…
        How about a 22 calorie run/sprint on the treadmill?
        Bring your skipping rope with you and 22 double unders?
        You could find a “box” type object and do box jumps, sometimes they have the aerobics steps, you might be able to use something like that?

        That’s a good start Kelly, but I’m thinking because you have a twin brother you should change the 22 to 44 :) I miss you too :(

      Hi Neil,

      We have another shipment of calendars coming in this week. It’s a 12 month calender starting with the month of February and ending with January 2011. I know it’s not the conventional way but neither is CrossFit!LOL! Send me an e-mail with your shipping address and we can go from there.
      Cheers,

      Joanne

    agreed, but check your dates its not january anymore ;) . I saw the pic published on crossfit.com two days ago and something about it bugged me nonstop till I realized I went to school at the school across the road from those goal posts. http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/MittelholtzPullupKitchenerOntario.html

    About 2 weeks ago Karen came up as a benchmark, but our new box has low ceiling clearance so the alternate workout was 150 thrusters (men 75lbs, women 45lbs) for time. Do i need to mention it was most dreadful… but thanks to you lovely ladies @ up in Kitchener I will have new inspiration the next time wall balls come up!! Hey whats in your calendars and how do i get one. Keep up the good work

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.
