Posted on by

It’s going to be an awesome week here at CFP!!  Lots of fun things in store…

Monday – Get ready for a clean complex + some clean pulls to round off your weightlifting session.  The WOD will be short…& it will burn!  Thrusters & Burpees always burn!!

Tuesday – We’ll be working on Toes to Bar (TTB) progressions, including some conditioning work to strengthen our core.  This WOD will be a bit longer than Monday, a 12 min AMRAP.

**Start working on your calves, shins & ankles for the rest of the week, there’s a decent amount of running in the forecast!

Wednesday – Press day!  Performance athletes, have your percentages ready – 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%

Thursday – Every body loves back squat day!  Performance group – expect to go heavy for your last 2 sets of 3 – 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 90%.  Bring your rope for some DUs as well!

Friday – Oly day!  We have a fun little Power Snatch or Hang Power Snatch EMOM.  We’ll be starting light in our EMOM & increasing the weight throughout.  We’re looking for NO failed attempts, even with increased weight!!  Getting some good volume & training in.  Prepare yourself for a long, slow & steady 25 min Metcon.

Saturday – As always – feel free to bring a friend, family member, neighbor, anyone!  A fun Partner WOD is in store 🙂

If you’re looking for a good WOD Christmas morning (when we’re closed) before diving into your stocking or the plate Christmas cookies, just pop in quite possibly the most fun Christmas movie ever, Elf!

The writers over at He and She Eat Clean have come up with a great “at home” circuit workout to the movie Elf!  Too funny not to share!  If you last the whole movie, you’ll definitely have gotten in a great Christmas morning WOD!!

They have other fun workouts to the Grinch, a Christmas Tree workout & some great looking recipes!

Looks like you have 0 excuses for slacking over the Christmas holiday 😉

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

#fitspiration Monday

We were sitting on the couch Sunday morning and Brandon leaned over to show me this on Facebook…

Then we get to the box & I see I have a Facebook message from Jackie, sending me this exact picture!

What are they trying to tell me!?!

Hahaha, no, they were both joking!  I wasn’t offended in the least, I think it’s hilarious!  Jackie said “This is pretty much us!” and it definitely is!

I may not have tackled Double Unders yet, but I’m working on it!  Every day.  The only way to be good at something is to do it!  Over & over & over again.  Make it a priority!

You can’t tell me “being healthy” and “eating right” are your priorities when you don’t work out & eat those donuts in the break room.  You can’t tell me you want to be better at running when you skip all the WODs with running in them.  Actions speak louder, my friend!!

So, what is your priority!?  What are you working on!?  What are you going to be good at!?

I’m going to be really good at double unders…eventually!

The CFP blog has been slacking lately, so we’re trying to remedy that today with a little #fitspiration Monday for ya!!  It has a funny & a recipe!  Good stuff, right!?

This made me laugh out loud!  I can definitely relate!  I feel so silly in CF sometimes….totally missing that wallball, having my kip get out of control, missing that lift, whatever it is….I know I do not look rockstar-esque in every CF move.

But darn it if those pants that I haven’t worn all summer don’t fit better!  Am I right!?  Haha, it’s not about looking good while you do it, it’s about doing it to look good!!

Here’s another way to make your pants fit better…..guilt free pizza!

This is The Cavegirl Dish‘s Buffalo Chicken Pizza and, oh goodness, is this a staple in our house!  We (I) really like pizza, although we don’t really eat the regular kind anymore, so this recipe is a go to for those nights that you just really want some pizza!

Hop on over to the site for the full recipe!  Happy Monday!

Here are some funny CrossFit quotes & reads that have been floating around this week…

Very well said!!

“With [CrossFit’s] popularity, I’m starting to see more and more articles and resources popping up in crazy numbers on blogs, news sites, magazines, and newsfeeds. However, I’m also finding it harder and harder to distinguish between fact, opinion, and trolling when it comes to a lot of these pieces, especially when I consume most of my information in the madness that is the digital wild west.”

Read the above article here….and then share it with your friends who haven’t yet tried CrossFit!

“You want to know what babies suck at? Everything. …. Part of life is learning something new, sucking at it and getting better.”  “Don’t let your excuses get in the way of your success. Just go and do something, anything really except make excuses.”

So sarcastic, gotta love it!  Read this article here.
