Posted in In the News on May 13, 2009 by Crossfit Sioux Falls
Great Form Hali!

Great Form Hali!

We are excited to announce our 1st Challenge at CrossFit Sioux Falls. We all know how popular the Biggest Loser is and the amazing results people achieve. Well we are doing the BIGGEST WINNER challenge.

And the Challenge you ask?…is the “Cindy” challenge.

“Cindy”
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

How the Challenge Works

1. GET REGISTERED – get your name on the list and pay the $20 entry (remember, $15 goes back in the “kitty” for prize money).
2. PRELIMS – Sat. May 30th set your baseline. Set your baseline “Cindy” rounds. This will be the time off of which we will calculate your improvement.
3. TRAIN – CrossFit for 8 weeks with the intention of improving your “Cindy” time.
4. FINALS – Sat. July 25th. Go for YOUR best “Cindy” time!

** PRIZES will be awarded for:
• Most improvement – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place in combined women’s and men’s divisions.
• Most Rounds – 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in M1 and W1 divisions.

Men’s Categories
M2: Green Band on Pullups, Pushups chest to floor no knees
M1: No bands on Pullups, Pushups chest to floor no knees
Women’s Categories
W2: Green Band on Pullups, Pushups on knees
W1: No bands on Pullups, Pushups chest to floor no knees

Rules:
– You must choose the category you are going to compete in and STAY in that category for the finals. Rankings for TIME:
o There will be one master list ranking participants based on time
o Your TIME rank will be based on your performance within your category.
o Categories will be listed in the order M1, M2. This means that all M1 category finishers will be ranked above all the M2 category finishers.
o For example, if you compete in the M2 category, the best ranking you can have is one below the lowest in the M1 category. So if there are 6 people in the M1 category, your ranking, if you have the highest time in the M2 category, is #7.
– Rankings for IMPROVEMENT:
o There will be one master list ranking participants on percentage improvement.
o This list is NOT categorized. Your category has no bearing on where you finish on this list.

“Hansen”
5 Rounds
30 Kettlebell Swings
30 Burpees

What to Practice?….Double Unders

Posted in CrossFit Workouts on May 8, 2009 by Crossfit Sioux Falls

DSCF9593

People are always asking me, “What should I do on my off days?” At CrossFit our exercises are the best of the best. Not just anyone can do them which is why we get so fit:-) It takes practice and experience to master these exercises.

Today’s example is Double Unders;

Regular jump rope is one of the best cardiovascular and coordination exercises out there. But if you want 4 times the benefit and results its time to implement Double Unders. Do this:

1- Get a jump rope for home.
2- Watch this VIDEO and find Double-Unders (Brendan Gilliam demo)…[
3- Practice, practice, practice.

Today WOD

AMRAP in 20min

10 Deadlifts
10 Box Jumps
10 Wall Balls
10 Burpees

Post Rounds and enjoy your weekend!

Look for more activities on the horizon very soon.

Get your NEW “Success Journals”

Posted in Lifestyle, Members on May 1, 2009 by Crossfit Sioux Falls

success-journal

Journaling your workouts is one of the important habits to get into for yourself. It is the ultimate form of accountability.

Why do this? There are a ton of reasons. The main benefits include:

– Accurate tracking of progress through logging work out variables
– Effective and precise planing of future work outs (knowing how you performed previously will eliminate guesswork). It is 100% objective, no excuses, nothing wishy washy, just accurate data you can’t argue.
– Heightened motivation and intensity through striving to beat previous bests. (boy do we know about that…)
– Increased focus and efficiency through having a clear, written plan.

Your goals and results are at your fingertips.

Today’s WOD

AMRAP in 20min

50 Double unders/200 singles
20 Burpees
20 DB Thrusters
