Team Challenge

For a fun change of pace we did a team challenge today with the 12:00 crew. We had 5 groups of two go at it head to head.

The challenge was that two seperate workouts needed to be completed by each team for time. It didn't matter how they did it, or who did what just as long as both workouts were completed.

The workouts were:

A.) Todays WOD (7/20)

and

B.) Run 800m
20 Pull-ups
20 Box Jumps
20 Overhead Squats

CrossFit on the brain?

I know there are some lurkers out there. You know who you are. You check out the Workout Of The Day everyday and try to muster the inner athlete in you to come in and check it out. Maybe you are like so many others and say to yourself, "It looks awesome! When I 'get in shape' I'm gonna head into CrossFit MN and get a workout." We have heard it before! The only thing is, you don't need to be in shape to see the benefits from CrossFit. The scalability of the program allows you to build to your optimal level. The ONLY thing you need to do is to show up and be ready to sweat, laugh and enjoy the best workout on the planet. Leave the "getting in shape" part to us. We got it figured out.

Everyone has to start somewhere, or get back into it sometime.

Here is a great article written about our friends at CrossFit LA, otherwise known as Petranek Fitness. The author gives her firsthand account of the process. From introductory session to "drinking the kool-aid" and becoming a CrossFit regular.

I hope everyone enjoys this!!!

This week we will remember the CrossFit heroes

From CrossFit HQ


"Murph"




In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.' From here on it will be referred to as 'Murph' in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is

For time:

1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
