Monday Motivation - What Are You Preparing For?
What are you preparing for (in life, at work, with your family, or maybe finances)?
At Blue Eagle, we are preparing for our Hero WOD on Memorial Day called "Murph." This workout includes running, pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats, followed by more running. You may notice our workouts in the past couple of weeks have involved these movements. We are preparing you, mentally and physically, for the workout.

Can I do CrossFit even if I am injured?
One of the common questions that we've gotten recently, in particular, has been, "Hey, I'm hurt. Should I still come and work out?" As you know, we have a wonderful, lovely athlete who broke her foot while surfing in Costa Rica, so she's now in a boot. What can she do, especially on a day like today which is deadlift day? The class is going to start with a run, deadlift, kettlebell swings, goblet squats, not really good for someone with a broken foot. So should she even bother coming?
World-Class Fitness in 100 Words
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J (clean and jerk), and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
