CrossFitting on your own

Posted in Crossfit Philosophy on February 26, 2009 by Fit 605 Inc

img_0678For those of you that have gone at CrossFit alone you know how hard it can be at times to stay motivated. The mental aspect of knowing you have a workout in front of you that’s going to push you to your limits can honestly be a little intimidating. Being able to push yourself to new heights on your own is a very rewarding experience. Doing it with others, I’m finding out adds a whole new aspect to it. If your out there CrossFitting on your own we’d love to hear from you. Share your workouts on our blog. Let us know how it’s going for you. You’ll find a ton of encouragment on here. Happy CrossFitting!

Team Atmosphere

For those of you that don’t know. Every Saturday this month we have done “Team/Partner” workouts. So much of CrossFit is working in a group. Working with a group enhances everything about a workout (epecially an intense one). There is something about working to your limit with other people together. The whole experience brings friends and strangers closer together and makes it a lot more fun.

WOD:

“Karen”
150 wallball shots for time

David working hard in his second WOD ever!

If you’ve ever checked out the “main page” or crossfit.com. You know that thier are an unbelievable amount of resources on there. Anything from excersises and videos to inspirational videos, the CrossFit Journal which has anything and everything that is CrossFit. Theirs also the affilliate blog. Which gives you an idea what other affilliates are up to around the country.
One of our members came to us with an idea at the am class. He suggested we do something like one of our competitors in town is like a challenge of some sort over a 3 month period. We love it when you come to us with ideas. Matter a fact we’re in the process of setting up a challenge which will include the affilliate in Pierre along with an aspiring affillite in Rapid City. Keep checking our website and blog for any updates. Oh yeah, keep the ideas coming!!

The Mental Game

Posted in Crossfit Philosophy on February 5, 2009 by Fit 605 Inc

img_0634The Hard Routine Anyone who has ever taken part in something that is new or challenging knows the mental side of things can be a lot harder than the physical. Matter of fact CrossFit will find out just how far a person is willing to push themselves physically and mentally. Mental toughness is what separates someone from getting that sub 4 minute or 3 minute Fran time. Obviously you have to be physically fit enough to perform. Pushing yourself as hard as you can or past that limit is what we’re striving for. Up above is a great article from the CrossFit Journal. Be sure to check it out. Just click on the links to take you there.

Fitness for Life

Now that's Intensity!!  You go Jess!

Now that's Intensity!! You go Jess!

At Crossfit Sioux Falls we’re all about fitness that carries over to daily life.  Everything we do is going to benefit you day to day.  Whether it be carrying groceries, picking your child up off the floor or shoveling snow.  What you walk away with here is the confidence knowing that what your doing is going to benefit you for the long haul.  I heard the phrase “we’re rear driven Ferrari’s”  meaning we strengthen from the hip griddle through the back and mid line.  Now tell me that’s not gonna help the elite athlete along with grandma’s.

WOD

5 rounds

30 Glute Ham situps
25 Back extensions
For Time

Have fun strengthening that “rear driven Ferrari”
