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.
At 8:30 this morning, another free UTB workout was put on by Crossfit Central. 80+ people from all walks of life, and all different athletic abilities came together for an hour and did a workout at Town Lake. Take a look at this photo of a local 9 year old going through the shrug/high elbow portion of the Burgener warm up. This is a progressed warm up the gets you ready to perform an Olympic movement called the snatch. After a warmup, the workout group performed a series of functional movements, geared at teaching the body how to move. The final event consisted of a relay run, where all had fun.Photos from the UTB workout

Whether it was a newbie performing the movements scaled to their ability, or a season vet doing the WOD as rx'd, everybodies hands were full with this one! Click here to see more pics from the workout. Someone met pukie, someone ripped their hands...no one gave a sub par effort. Which brings me to my next thing: The Crossfit Community. The feeling one gets from being around a group of like-minded individuals ( the Crossfit community) is bar none, and should be experienced by everyone. People inspire each other with their efforts, and as a result enlighten others to this way of thinking. The end result is an increase in self motivation/self determination/self confindence/a slew of health benefits, and a new you.
