Crossfit Central hosted another free UTB (under the bridge) workout this weekend. Once again workout enthusiasts came out bright and early to fill the grounds at Townlake.
Ranging from "super fit" to the "just getting started", everyone worked hard and safe. The Coaches make sure to demonstrate each movement with precise detail, while giving verbal instruction before starting these workouts. This maximizes everyones safety, and most of all allows for everyone to have fun. If you are unable to perform a movement as prescribed everything can be modified to suit your current ability. So if you are new to exercising, or a seasoned pro come out and take part in the community driven workout. The next one will be September 20th. For more information check the Crossfit Central website leading up to the workout.
To achieve any goal, one must start somewhere. While perusing Crossfit HQ's website sometime late last year, I suddenly became inspired. The WOD was "Filthy 50", and I knew immediately that was going to be the first workout I would do once I recovered from my herniated disc. January 29, 2007 was my initiation into the community of Crossfit; time: 39'47. I was sore for the next 3 weeks. Was it smart to do a workout that intense immediately after recovering from my disc injury? Maybe not, but I had to start somewhere.
What it's led too....
Re-enforcing my beliefs that there is always more than what is in front of your face. It reminded me to never be content, or complacent when it comes to me being in the know. And lastly, an internship at Crossfit Central where I continually seek more answers, and try to absorb as much knowledge as I can from some top notch coaches!
