Finally got a concept 2 rower! They’re pricey but arguably one of the most effective pieces of “cardio” equipment available. Each stroke is a symphony of postural strength, aggressive ankle, knee, and hip extension combined with a long, strong pull of the arms. It works major motor recruitment patterns, coordination, endurance, and when done in short durations builds strength, anaerobic capacity, and metabolic conditioning. Quite simply, rowing is the shit!
Also, we’ve got 3 new members. Pru and her husband Bob, who both have huge potential. Bob is a strong guy and Pru is freakishly coordinated. She grasps difficult, compound movements quickly and with little effort. I think she was a crossfitter in a previous life. And then Barb, who has the legs of a horse, which is probably because she rides them 8 days a week. Welcome guys, keep up the hard work.

Friday and Saturday I’ll be at a USA Weightlifting Certification so unless you’re an early riser (5 or 6am) I’ll be unavailable. I’m excited for the cert, always fun gathering with like minded people. I expect to learn lots and pass it on to my lucky clients. Everything will be back on track sunday. Have a great weekend.

Had an awesome time at the Crossfit Games Northeast Qualifiers this weekend. I was only able to be there for day one of two and it still was too much to take in. With almost 250 athletes trying to earn one of only 10 qualifying spots the competition was fierce. With so much on the line one might think the air would be tense, but I’ve discovered time after time that Crossfit brings out the best in people. Competitors were cheering each other on with the same intensity they brought to their workouts. It was motivating to witness and makes me even more excited for this years Crossfit Games.
Let me start by saying I’m a trainer… not a computer guy.
I do however posses a basic understanding of computer related devices like ipods, a few high speed baby toys, and I once successfully programmed the thermostat. These small victories only serve to fuel my ego and lead me to take on bigger, more complicated projects. Like website design.
Long story short, I broke it. It being the whole site.
So I’m starting over with a few lessons under my belt.
- Start simple.
- Customer Support is your friend
- google google google
- When it doubt, don’t
Stay tuned
