What is CrossFit All About?

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

I ended up with 3:17

I took a few progress pictures. I have been hovering around 169-171 the last few weeks. Dan tested my body Fat Wednesday. 10.9% I think it is lower though, we will have to do it again.

Saturday 9/19/09

Today I tried something new. My brother in law is going to start personal training at a new gym called the Exercise Institute in Liberty Lake.

The workout uses the Nautilus equipment. It takes 15-20 minutes. You do about 7 exercises. You do each exercise VERY slow until failure for about 60-90 seconds.

The workout was hard and I will be pretty sore. I think 2 days a week could really help increse muscle size and strength.

We also played racquetball for about an hour.
