Relentless Adventure Challenge

Saturday was the kick off for our 1st annual Relentless Adventure Challenge! The event was a LEVEL 10 experience for everyone involved!

A few things are certain - the participants WILL see results over the next 7 weeks - this is just the 1st of several Relentless Adventure Challenges - the coaches were all jealous we didn't get to participate on Saturday! It looked like a BLAST!

The calm before the storm.....


Carrie - Stephanie - Emily - and Jennifer. I get the pleasure of coaching 3 of these ladies at Jack and Adam's Relentless bootcamp!


The entire Relentless Adventure Challenge crew!

Thanksgiving Day Workouts

"I bet we'll have 20 people show up and 5 coaches".... famous last words spoken between Jeremy and I as we prepared for the Thanksgiving day Relentless boot camp. Wow- did you prove us wrong! We had over 50 people show up at 6am in the dark on a chilly Thanksgiving morning! I am constantly impressed with the determination and dedication of the CrossFit Central crew - coaches and clients alike!
Thank you all for making my Thanksgiving day full of something other than just turkey and stuffing!

Come back and visit us, Kelley!

Last week was Kelley's last day at my Jack and Adam's boot camp so we planned a special 'good-bye' workout for her!

As luck would have it, Kelley was in bed with a fever on her 'last day' but the Tue/Thur crew decided to do the workout in her honor.

So what was the WOD?

"KELLEY"

AMRAP in 10 min

19 ball slams

19 push press

19 SDHP

6 lunges

6 broad jumps

1 lap around the building

Angie and Steve on ball slams
Meetesh is knocking out those push press
Emily on Sumo Deadlift Highpull

My favorite - Neil showing his "love" for broad jumps!

Why this WOD?

10 min - for the "perfect 10" that she is in her little black dress

19 reps of things she LIKES - for her bday, June 19th

6 lunges for June and lunges b/c she hates them!

6 broad jumps for the 6 months she's been in my class

Thanks to everyone in the Jack and Adam's Tu/Th class for the action shots!

December programs just started and we still need YOU to fill Kelley's shoes! Join a Relentless boot camp today!

If you have some time to workout Wednesday morning at 9:30am, join us for a FREE Relentless Boot Camp workout at Town Lake - under the MoPac Bridge. Bring a friend and we'll see you there!

The Turkish Get Up

At first glace you may think - Funny Name! Awkward movement! What is this exercise even working??

The Turkish Get Up turns what looks like a simple task (getting up) into a fun challenge. The TGU is a great movement for improving coordination, flexibility, and strengthening your core- shoulders - and legs. In a nut shell, you name it and it's probably involved in this exercise.

The move is deceptively difficult so don't bite off more than you can chew while mastering this exercise. This week my classes were introduced to the Turkish Get Up (thanks, Coach Travis) with little or NO weight. I bet if you asked a few of them, they would agree that simply working with your body weight can be a challenge!

So, how do they Get Up in Turkey?

Read this to master the TGU

Watch this for more help.

Try this workout and post your time to my comments!
4 rounds:
10 Turkish Get Ups (5 on each side)
15 Burpees
20 Sit Ups
....3-2-1 GO.....

Livestrong Challenge - CrossFit Central Style

This weekend is the annual Livestrong Challenge in Austin! The challenge is Livestrong's signature fundraising event and as Willy (pictured above) put it "it's only our busiest week of the year". Most of the employees in the LAF Boot Camp will be too busy behind the scenes and putting on the show this weekend to actually participate in any of the events. So, Crystal and I brought the Livestrong Challenge (Double C's style of course!) to the class a bit early!

The participants for weekend's events will choose to complete a 5k run, 10mile, 20mile, 45mile, 64mile, OR 90mile bike ride.
In honor of these events, here is what the LAF crew today chose* the following workout:

5 paint brushes
run lap
10 DB push press
run lap
20 table tops
run lap
45 sprawls
run lap
65 overhead squats (team effort)
run lap
90 DB swings (team effort)
run lap

*I had 12 exercises for them to pull from a bag at random and the workout above reflects the movements pulled for the bag of choices

Congratulations to everyone who completed this challenge today and GOOD LUCK to everyone participating in the Livestrong Challenge this weekend.

Thursday: 3 x 800m

Where are you in the Sprint to FGB???

Send me YOUR message!

I love my job - I love helping people - I love seeing people change their lives! One of my favorite things is to receive texts, emails, phone calls asking:

• what extra workout can I do?


• what can I order at Maudies?


• what is my plan to make it thru the holiday weekend - lake, beer, bbq!~?

This is one I received last night at 10:38pm:

"I had pizza and beer tonight. And I feel like S*#T!"

This is the truest sign that YOU have made the change. You know how great good foot makes you feel. You are a new person!

Send me your questions - tell me your stories!
