How do you do "Penguins"?

1) Lay on back with knees bent and heels close to your rear

2) With a sideways motion slap each heel with your hands, one at a time

3) Slightly lift chest off ground

*This motion looks what a penguin would look like walking.

The Butter Fly Story

One day a man saw a butterfly shuddering on the sidewalk.

It was locked in a seemingly hopeless struggle to free itself form its now useless cocoon.

Feeling pity, the man took a pocket knife and carefully cut away the cocoon and set the butterfly free.

To his dismay, the butterfly lay on the sidewalk, convulsed weakly for awhile, then it died.

A biologist later told the man, “That was the worst thing you could have done!

A butterfly needs that struggle to develop the muscles to live and fly away.

By robbing him of the struggle you rendered him too weak to live.”

This was a refreshing story I had read before that gave me a quick analogy of how it is being a Coach.  Here at StoneWay Crossfit there are many times that a workout comes up and it is very difficult and sometimes what appears unbearing and the only thing we as Coaches want to do is lower the weight or lower the repetitions.  But as your Coaches it is our  job is to make sure you are successful and safe.  If we did lower the weight or lower the repetitions we would not be doing any services you or your fitness.  So when there is a workout that seems unbearing and you are unsure if you can do it, know that your Coaches are here for you to succeed and would not give you a workout prescription you could not complete.
