It’s another fun-filled weekend for CFCC!  Our classes tomorrow are as follows: 9a regular WOD (Sammy), 10a Gymnastics, 11a CrossFit Endurance, 12p Jay’s First Kettlebell Class for CFCC!, and a 1p regular WOD (Liz).

If you’re wondering how to include all these classes into a healthy lifestyle my suggestion to you would be to pick the ones that are your weaknesses skill-wise and don’t do more than one metcon a day.  As Grog has stated, there’s more to come on how to make this work for you, but that’s a great place to start!  See y’all in the space!

Also, on a more general note, we’ve got 5 more slots available for $750.  A million thanks to those of you who responded so quickly.

Partner wod. Tag team/ relay style:  2 rounds, each for time, with a partner (first partner must complete cones then tag their teammate before they can start the same movement) .    50 feet between cones.  6 cone sprint.   2 cone single arm overhead kb walk (2/1.5.  1 cone each arm). 4 cone  Double kb walk (rack position, 2/1.5 each arm), 2 cone sandbag carry (anyhow, 120/90lbs), 6 cone sprint.  Total the time of both rounds to determine winning teams (lowest total time).  Any combo of sexes is fine.

Also, please note that the one and only JAY PEPITO will be coaching his first class ever for CFCC this Saturday at 12p.  I know how much you all miss kettlebellz.  Rise late and come on out to experience the thrill of all kinds of things you can do with a cannonball with a handle.

Here Drew is lined up for the strict press with no compromises down the kinetic chain. Way to go, Drew!

11 Jan

4 rounds for max reps: 1m r arm snatch, 1m l arm snatch, 1m box jumps, 1m rest.

Our very own Jen shows you how it’s done in the short clip below.  Jen’s a great example of someone who has benefited entirely by being dedicated to attending during our time in the racquetball court.  Her overall strength has gone through the roof and her confidence with kettlebells and other movements we have been focusing on in the last few months makes her a great companion for any workout.  There are a number of our members that serve as great sources of advice when you’re confused about a movement or something else Crossfit-ey.  What one piece of advice have you received from a fellow member that helped you?  Post to comments.
