The Importance of a Proper Warm-Up
Why We Need To Warmup 1. A Warm-Up enables you to dial in your mind, put any other issues on hold and resolve to focus on the task at hand. We live in a world of constant stimulation and the amount of information our brains process each day is staggering. In an attempt to handle [...]Injury 101: When Are You Ready to Return?
When is it the right time to return fully from injury? PT Joshua Zavertnik offers a systematic approach to answering this question and trusting your body.
Conversations in Coaching: A Matter of Trust
Coaching and teaching are similar arts with similar responsibilities. But the student/athlete also has a responsibility to be an educated consumer.A picture is worth a thousand WODs: A “close crop” with Tammy St. Denis
By Tatum Vayavananda What do Crossfitters love more than going into a grueling WOD, head and heart-first, pitting their bodies against their minds, and competing against their doubts and fears? Photos of them doing it! Great Crossfit photos can capture the triumphant moments and reflect the tone, personality and passion …Why We Snatch
Last week, our Crossfit class introduced the snatch, which is lifting a weighted bar from the ground over your head in a violent but fluid motion. It is the one of two Olympic lifts that are practiced in Crossfit. Olympic weightlifters spend their entire careers working on this movement. For many decades, the snatch was …Are You An Animal? Part 2
Beast mode is back! After part 1, see it here, I received a couple of messages about how those movements are great for their youth programs or Physical Education classes, so I’m back with part 2 for some more ideas to turn your class/workout into an absolute zoo! As we talked about in part 1, [...]
Fats Before Carbs: The New Rule For Endurance Nutrition?
Before you binge out on pasta dinners and bagel breakfasts, you might want to take a serious look at what researchers are reporting about “carbo-loading” before a marathon or long endurance event. The days of high-carb diets may be over.3 reasons every Crossfitter should participate in the open
The 2013 Crossfit open was my first Crossfit completion and like many first timers it took some convincing from my affiliate’s owner to get me to take the leap. 1. Change the way you scale. The open offers no scaling options for newbie’s. Depending on your fitness level you may scale all your workouts with [...]For the Love of CrossFit
I can’t lie, sometimes I used to get annoyed with CrossFit posts… It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy people were getting great workouts… It was more like I kill it at the gym 5-6 days a week, I don’t tell everyone about it, why must you? My hoity-toity self found it annoying! I could never [...]Deck of Death
Today I did the hardest workout of my life. Today I did the Deck of Death. Get your mind right, Girl. You got this. 1 Deck of Cards vs. You. Your body, your mind and your damn near soul. Start the time. Flip a card. Crossfit peeps know what I am talking about. 10 burpees. [...]
The Power Snatch and Power Clean: When to Use Them
The power snatch and power clean both have a place in your programming, but they cannot replace the benefits of learning the full lifts.
Functional at 40: Why CrossFit Just Might Save Your Life
Time to get real here folks: at 40 you're probably half way done. My question to you is this: do you want the next 40 to be like the first 40?
Rick Scarpulla: Strengthen Your Mental Game
Your programming is incomplete if you are not including mental training. Rick Scarpulla says mental strength is the true king of strengths.Born Again: CrossFit, Sweat-Angels and Getting Real
by JOHNNY ROOKS America loves a good Rebirth Myth. We love the concept of rebooting ourselves, and apparently it’s a modern go-to strategy for Hollywood (Return to the Return of the Planet of the Apes, The Amazing Spiderman) and Corporate America (JCPenny, The GAP). But nowhere is our love for the lore of the mighty …The Sexiest Thing You’ll Ever Wear

Ask people what their motivation is for exercising and eating right, and you’ll get a lot of different answers: wanting to be healthy, live longer, be stronger, fit into a bathing suit, make an ex jealous, etc. Motivation is a personal ingredient to fitness. And whatever works for you is great. But when it comes [...]Time to get spicy.
If you’re anything like me you might just throw in a teaspoon of whatever spices you have knocking about in the cupboard to your dish in the hope that it will add some flavor. Well the brownie points go to us, that little sprinkle, all be it a last minute thought, can actually boost the [...]Cheating in Sports and The Prisoner’s Dilemma
2013 – Lance Armstrong is found guilty of doping and is stripped of 7 Tour de France Gold Medals. 2000 – the Spanish Paralympic Mens Basketball teams takes the Gold medal, only to be disqualified when it was revealed 10 of the 12 athletes suffered no intellectual disability whatsoever. 1988 – Canadian …
