Make-Up and Skills Day-Measure Fitness

Quote of the Day:
"Does your workout make you nervous?…It should"
(Leila and Ryan doing burpees as a couple)



Rest/Make-Up/Skills Day

Get yourself caught up or challenge a weakness
or reach in the "Hopper" (i.e. coaches choice!)

by Tony Budding

The question of defining fitness has been a challenge for the fitness industry since its inception. All the
established certifying agencies have so far failed to produce a clear working definition.

Skills Day

Quote of the Day:
You never will be the person you can be if pressure, tension and discipline are taken out of your life.
~ by James G. Bilkey ~


Rest/Make-up/Skills Day
 
Today is designed to allow you to make up any day you weren't able to make it in or simply to work on a weakness you have.  The more we practice the better we become.

Weakness Bias Training

by Dan Williams

Dan Williams proposes CrossFit athletes are only as strong as their weakest links.
He proposes a way to train these weaknesses to produce better all-around athletes.  This is why we have started programming "Skills Days" in our box.  If we continue to over look our weakness's and never practice them, then we are taking away part of the CrossFit methodology.

Mystery WOD Recap!

The "Mystery WOD" was definitely a mystery.  What we did today was we started our workout at the Lab with 150 Kettlebell swings/team, then each team ran up to the "Troll" where Coach Corey had each team perform 150 box jumps/team + 10 stair climbs + 3 hills run, then he sent the group down to me (Coach Scott).  Once everyone from each team was present each team performed 150 plate cleans + 150 OH Lunges (#25/10) and after they were done each team finished at the Fitness Lab.
