Tadaaaahhhh!!!!

This seems like a task many of us can hardly even imagine dreaming about, much less actually performing! Lindsey, a PT client of mine, Spartan, and a recent Crossfit Sectionals competitor, is not only strong but limber. This picture was taken of Lind's messing around on the ropes in one of our workouts. She does aerial dance, which involves a ton of stretching and flexibility, as you can see!

This past weekend K Star came to our gym to coach a Cert over Mobility and biomechanics of the body. And if we thought we were flexible before, Kelly sure put us in our place. Because of our lack of flexibilty and mobility many of us live life with constant nagging pains which in turn lead to injury. This is something Central is trying to change, we want our clients to be healthy and prosperous, as well as strong and Sicfit!

If you would like more info on stretching technique and mobilty, tune into the crossfit.com main page for daily WOD's on stretching.....soon to come.

The Elite

I was privledged enough this weekend to be invited to San Diego for the Level 1 Trainers Summit. This involved hearing speakers such as Coach Greg Glassman, Kelly Starrett on Mobility, Dr. Nicholas Romanov on pose running, Brian Mackenzie on strength and endurance, Jeff Tucker on gymnastics, Louie Simmons on powerlifting, Jeff Martone on Kettlebells, and many others. It was two days of hanging out with elite athletes and phenomenal coaches. It made me realize even though you think you might be good at something, you will never be at the top of your game. There is always room to grow and learn and to continue to strive to be the best. Thankyou to everyone who made this weekend possible and for the experience that was made!
