If You Want Something, Go Get It.

Rest Day 090708:
News and notes after the first week:

1. Crossfit HQ has asked us to join their family of affiliates. In no time we will be calling  ourselves Crossfit Select instead of CF Select. I want to thank everyone for all their support. Everyone has been great, keep up the hard work.

2. My first corporate account was attained. I will be running some lunch time classes at URBN INC.  HQ. They own Urban outfitters, Anthropologie, Terrian, and Free People. Classes start Sept 15th at the Naval Yard.

3. All in all it was a great first week and first step to achieving CF Select's vision.

Rest Day 090908:

This mornings weather report was pretty convincing. Its going to rain. A lot.
So what are you going to do all day if your stuck inside. First off please don't just sit around all day eating horribly and watching tv for hours. I however do like the idea of you watching penn state whoop on oregon state at 330. 

Things to do all day:
Teach your kids a new skill like a handstand.
Go to the store and stock up on food, etc.
Knock out some tasks you have been avoiding for weeks.
Play a game.
Read a book.
Find some new music to listen to. try pandora.com
Educate yourself about crossfit and your diet.  Use my links!
Drink lots of water, stretch, or do yoga.
Go for a run in the pouring rain.
News and information post tomorrow.
Have fun and enjoy the rain!

"JOE, YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE!!!"

The above picture is of Ellen Lee, 64 years young. Ellen came to me about 10 weeks ago. She has a torn meniscus, a chronic lower back, and recently beat cancer. She had become inactive and her weight started to increase. After a short 10 weeks she has lost 14 pounds and inches on her waist. She also had high blood pressure and 37% clogged  arteries. Thankfully, the blood pressure is going down and the arteries no longer have any plaque. She is a prime example of what happens when your consistent and dedicated with your diet and Crossfit! Keep up the great work Ellen, your an inspiration to all!!!

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, , 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 . - - Coach Greg Glassman, Crossfit Founder.
