 I think goofy fitness stuff is so funny. This cracked me up. You can buy one for only $70. Or just by a kettlebell for less. | |

______________________________________________________________ We are a CrossFit based training facility. The results we see from our programming are dramatic whether you are 75, 9 or somewhere in between. For details on our Programs go here. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen. CrossFit Redmond is for anyone who is willing to put in the work. Getting Started with CrossFit | ||

Just for the record. I'm tired of this and ready for warm spring weather. Just imagine the sweat angels come summer!  |

Megan after completing Cindy last week. We ran 10 people through Cindy on Tuesday and everyone who was repeating this great benchmark WOD increase by 4 or 5 rounds. This is great evidence of the hard work that has been put in over the past 6 weeks since we performed Cindy last. The most common fitness improvement we have seen is the increase in flexibility in the shoulders, from shoulder pass thrus and overhead lifts, and in the hips, from all those squats. How many of you know people in their 20's that are starting to have trouble bending over to pick something off the ground? I know a bunch of them. Until they realize the true effects of their "cardio workouts" and start deadlifting, cleaning and squating it will only get worse. If they have a cardio workout.  |

What a week! We learned the snatch using both the barbell and the dumbbell and then we added it to our WODs. I think all your work on the cleans made the snatch easier to learn, or maybe I am getting better and teaching new moves. I ramped up the workouts this week and you guys all answered the call. Great work. I hope you are noticing changes in your performacnes on the workout beucase the work you did this week wouldn't have happened a couple months ago. Watching full range of motion overhead squats was the highlight of the week. See you all next week for more. PS - I will be asking how your 100 burpees went. |

This was awesome. I was buying some dumbbells and asked the guy on the floor if they had any non-bouncing balls that could be slammed from above head to the floor repeatedly. I thought maybe they had something that would work (silly me). He crinkled up his face and asked me, "Why in the world would you do that?" I started laughing and told him I get that reaction alot to our methods. Some people just don't get it but at least they are hilarious.  |
