One of the things that are important to avoiding injury, reducing recovery time, and being able to hit the workout at high intensity is a nice solid warmup.

Just like Kelly Starett from the recent Crossfit Journal article, I often see people going after heavy weights or high reps only after partially getting thru the warmup.  This is asking for problems.

One thing that is going to really help us at the new box is having lots of space to do the warmup - get ready for some sick group warmups geared to match the WOD's.

In the meantime, try to hit your warmup hard.

By the way, here are components of a good warmup: (April 2003 CFJ)
  • Elevates body temperature
  •  Elevates rardiorespiratory rate
  • Incorporates Stretching
  • Develops critical functions/ movements
  • Works whole body
  • Prepares for rigorous athletic movements

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
