I’m literally just walking in the door from the gym.  Here’s a little advice – give the All Access class a try.  It’s a straight cardio blast.  If you are looking to get more more, better lungs of ready for the Open, you should give this a go. All Access now in the mornings at 8:20 to 8:50a on Monday Tuesday and Thursday and the evenings on Monday and Wednesday at 7:30p to 8:05p.

All of our coaches have a wealth of knowledge underneath their fun spirited, muscly bodies and they are willing to share it with us. Welcome to Sarah’s Somethin’ Somethin’. Thanks Sarah!

A few weeks ago, I picked up couple of tips for taking long term care of the back.  I’ve noticed as my son get taller, I appear to be getting shorter.  On a good day, I’m 5’6″ and maybe, if I squint, a half.  When I started CrossFit, I was (a smidge) over 5’7″.  I have been relatively healthy over the years, but it might be possible that all the loading as actually made me shorter.  And I don’t have much more to give. I have been trying to take the pressure off my spine by doing two simple drills:  hanging from the bar or stretching on the GHD.  Quite simply, I will hang from the pull up bar for a total of 2 minutes following a session.  Or, I hop on the GHD, lie face down and just hang out for 2 minutes.  This lets my spine decompress after...
