We do crossfit. Meaning we do exercise that uses our bodies instead of machines. We do those exercises at high intensity, as hard as possible, and it changes daily to keep your body growing. 

Simple, hard, and effective are the three principles that guide the decisions made. Variety for the sake of variety is not. And the program is modified to each and every individual, individually.

We use crossfit to better the lives of the people of Elk Grove. To make better humans, better parents, and stronger community And much less worried about being good at the sport of CrossFit.

 

Here is what is happening this week with options for in gym workouts and at home workouts.

Max American KB Swings 53/35lb.

 

*Tad bit longer cal than normal for this piece. If you can not finish that in 1 minute or less, scale it to 15/12, but you should all be fine.

 

*You have 2 ways to attack this:

1.) Make them little sprints and get a 20-30sec. rest at the end of each
