This is how we do it

By now you've probably heard of CrossFit. If you haven't, then now is the time to crawl out from under the rock where you are hiding! :-) It started as small garage type gyms and seems to have spread like wildfire. CrossFit gyms are popping up everywhere. The workouts incorporate movements that would be used in everyday life with the idea to be metabolic and strength challenging, giving you the strength and endurance to be ready for anything. Military and Police Academies have started incorporating the plans into their training and now, so have I. Deneal and I joined a gym in little Lake O back in November and we fell in love! The workouts that are crazy hard, but so fun I never want them to end. I could stay at this gym all day! (Literally, sometimes I think they wonder if I am every going to leave.) Since we've joined the fun, we have had the awesome opportunity to watch it double in space and clients. We work out with and are trained by such amazing athletes. SO. MUCH. FUN.

A few weeks ago our gym moved into a new larger space. For the open house our trainer, Cody, put together this video of it all from the beginning. I must say it is kind of inspiring, I watch these people come in every day, push themselves to their absolute limit and then ask for more. What a fun little CrossFit family.
My most very favorite thing about CrossFit is the gymnastic work and the HANDSTANDS! Which we don't have in the video, so I promise - pictures of handstands to come!
