Bet you didn't do Overhead Walking Lunges B.C.
Last week we talked about what your old workouts used to be B.C. (Before CrossFit).
Now tell us about the time you lost your CrossFit virginity.
-How did you hear about CrossFit?
-Who invited you?
-What was the WOD?
-How did you feel during and after?
-Get down and dirty with it…not literally:-0
This is going to be fun:-)
Wake up Everyone…it’s the middle of the month.
Where you at?
Are you on track?
Do you need to pump it up?
For those of you that missed out on posting your goals…what are you waiting for, BUCKLE DOWN, and lets get going. It is officially the 2nd half of the month. And like my high school bball coach always said, “The 2nd half of the game is where the Winners are made” So lets get it done…NOW!
Post your checkpoint status here or your fresh goals for the 2nd half of this month.
“Excellence is earned, not given” here is your chance to do it!
See you at the gym:-)
Rapid Strength increase = Rapid Fat Loss
Congratulations to Rob Siestema!
Rob has been a constant positive presence at CFSF since September. Annie and I talk a lot about when a particular person starts to hit their “stride” with CrossFit. By “Stride” we mean when you start ramping up your performance in WOD’s and your body begins to transform with fat loss and muscle increase (toning up!) Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes it takes a while. Bottom line when they hit their “stride” they are unstoppable!
Rob is starting to hit his stride…so watch out!
Rob you have the heart of a champion and we appreciate you!
Thank you for all you do.
A bunch of us were talking after class one day about what their workouts “used to” consist of. When I started to think about it and look at my old notes I really noticed how far I have come with my fitness and personal gains.
So what about you?
Whether you have been here 6 days, 6 weeks, or 6 months; “What Did Your Workouts Used Look Like?”
Tell us the difference that CrossFit has made not only in the gym with your physical benefits, but the results it has provided, the friends you have made and what you have learned about yourself.
Alright CFSF we have a Bitter/Sweet Situation:
Bitter: As most of you know we recently have lost Garrett Strating:-(
Sweet: While it sucks that we do not have the pleasure of having his awesome spirit, energy, work ethic and positivity around us any longer, it is great that he is moving up North and spreading the good word of CrossFit.
In my opinion there is no one better suited to create a very similar AWESOME CrossFit community that we have than Garrett. We will keep you updated with his status on the happenings of a future CrossFit Fargo/CrossFit 701…or whatever evolves up there in the arctic:-)
Garrett is officially linked to our blog roll on the right.

Go get em G! We are here to support you 100%.
This week’s Athlete of the Week goes to one of our longest, most consistent and toughest members we have…Lori Menke.
Lori’s personality and character embodies what CrossFit is all about. She comes into class everyday with a positive attitude, works HARD, and helps others. She is one of the 530am regular’s. So when you see her this week tell her how much we appreciate her and everything she brings to this community.
Thank you Lori. You are a true Champion!
CrossFit has observed that every quantifiable measure of health that typically declines with age is improved by exercise. Furthermore, these measures can be placed on a continuum that ranges from sickness to wellness to fitness. From this view fitness is seen to be a hedge against sickness. Blood pressure, body fat, bone density, triglycerides, “good” and “bad” cholesterol, flexibility, and muscle mass each follow this pattern. Done right, fitness provides a nice margin of protection against the ravages of time and disease. Fitness is and should be “super-wellness.” taken from crossfit.com
You can basically be bullet proof to diseases and sickness:-)
Thoughts?
Review the Sickness/Wellness/Fitness section on page 3 of What is Fitness? and watch the Three Dimensional Definition of Fitness and Health by Greg Glassman (2 parts).

“How often do you review your goals? Every year? Month? Week? If so, you may be ahead of most people. Even so, I recommend a more frequent review period that will seem like overkill for some people, but to me it’s the key to maintaining focus on your goals and actually making them a reality.The key habit […]” read more at reviewing goals from zenhabits.net
