I am home from the Level 1 Crossfit Certification in Ft. Worth (I’m in the middle in the black tank top.) It was a tough, informative weekend with some incredible trainers. Lisa Ray, Jon Gilson, Chuck Caldwell, Tony Budding, Dutch Lowy, and Major Andrew Thompson of Crossfit Quantico were all phenomenal teachers.
I felt like a pony among thoroughbreds, but it was an incredible experience. We were all instructed on the nine fundamental movements/ technique along with corrections for all of them. The pattern for the day was instruction, performance, repetition, correction, repetition, more correction. Tired? Lactic acid overload? Good, repetition, more correction. It’s amazing how heavy an 8 ounce pvc pipe can become after holding it over your head for two days. I needed a whole day to recover. We heard lectures on: What is Crossfit, What is Fitness, Nutrition, Glycemic Index, Sick-Wellness-Fitness Progression, The Nine Fundamental Movements, and Programming. I am on information overload. I loved the format of experiencial learning, and I’m really looking forward to my Crossfit Kids Certification later this month.
how cool that you are becoming Crossfit Kids certified! what a great thing!
That’s cool that you’re going to be a teacher for Crossfit. I’m getting obsessed with going to the gym these days too.
I’m addicted to this dancing class called Zumba and I have a personal trainer too. It’s so awesome! I’ve looked at your blog a few times. Your beautiful little boys are getting so big!
Cool…so are you going to start a crossfit class at church or home …I am still waiting to come into some money so I can start….you look great…but you always have…peace.
