It seems like things are going good and the world is loving CrossFit and then WHAM someone posts an article on how irresponsible CrossFit is or how dangerous it is or how it's a cult. I'm not sure if people are just insecure about the current program they are following or feel the need to be negative but it really bites for us that live and breathe CrossFit. We can get defensive and down right pissed off; and for a good reason- we love it! With every negative article written there are 100 more written praising CrossFit so I'm not sure if some of the nay Sayers think they are doing the world a favor by  writing the article that is going to destroy CrossFit and shut down more than 1000 affiliates world wide. It's not. I suggest we handle this just like we would handle any tough WOD; with integrity and grace! 

June is Athletic Therapy Month, to celebrate Jill will be offering FREE functional movement screens every Thursday! This 10 min test will help you understand some of the possible muscle imbalances in our bodies as well as give your coaches some insight to help you move better. There will be a sign up sheet by the fountain each week. Just write your name into a time slot to get your free functional movement screen! 

Sue will be doing some Yin yoga at 6 am tomorrow. It's an awesome way to start the day and balance out our training! Please bring a towel if you would like to participate! 

 I will be doing some lifting at noon tomorrow and then around for open gym from 4-6 tomorrow night if anyone wants to come in and work on skills or make up a WOD. 

Sign up for the summer games!

A few things; 
- There is a beginner weightlifting workshop and competition being held at Action Conditioning This Saturday. Details are on a poster hanging by the fountain. 

- The healthy livening challenge is starting next week and it would be great to put a team or three in. Teams are 5-10 people, lets get involved and represent CFPC 

- SUMMER GAMES. Why has have only 4 people from Pincher Creek signed up? I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. It's a pretty big deal that CrossFit has been included in the summer games, let alone at our home gym. We need some people to step up and represent CrossFit Pincher Creek.

Monday May 26 2014

What an awesome weekend at the CrossFit kids certification. I am always amazed at the vast amount of knowledge the instructors posses and are able to share with us. The weekend was all about grabbing kids while they are young and building on the primal movements  to lead to better functioning individuals- before we go and forget them! You will be happy to know that this is a de -loading week and a great time to try out some of the AWESOME games I learned this weekend and to come back to some of the foundational movements. I think we can all see from the regional results how important it is to master the CrossFit hierarchy- Nutrition- gymnastics- met con- weightlifting then sport. MANY big name athletes did not make the cut this year and I believe that it is because CrossFit did things differently this year- took it back to the basics -Gymnastics- after having my thruster ripped apart all weekend I know exactly what I will be working on- front squatting PVC!!
