The Work out of the Day (WOD).   
  
We tailor the workout of the day to the individual by scaling the load, reps, as well as the exercises.  We do encourage 100% effort for every workout.  We start each work out with a specific warm up, most commonly referred to as "everyone else's workout."  Then we begin the prescribed WOD.

Brian G. - We are thinking 'bout'cha and wondering how Boot Camp is going. Hope all is going exceptionally well! 
 
We've been hammering home the importance of the triple (ankles, knees, & hips) extension before the elbows bend using Medicine Ball cleans.
jwmbc.jpg mvmbc.jpg 
Jason is almost to full extension w/o elbows bent (just bring it in closer to the body). Mel is bending the elbows before much leg movement occurs - way too early.
ssmbc.jpg sbmbc.jpg khmbc.jpg
Sarah is almost fullly extended w/ little elbow bend, Kathy & Sue are bending elbows well before full extension. It is helpful to get a visual on what exactly one is doing.

What are the CrossFit Games?

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling three-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This year the final event wasn't announced until thirty seconds before "3-2-1-GO!" This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is 'unknown and unknowable' - one of the underpinnings of the CrossFit methodology.
