Welcome to Valley Crossfit!

MORE FITNESS FUN ON KAUAI!

Finishing a 55-minute Trail Run...

 

Exploring a cave...

 

Balancing on a fence at one of the Scenic Overlooks...

 

Beach Burpees!

 

Recognize this shirt, Shaul?!

 

Hiking the Napali Coast...

 

The view doesn't suck!

 

"Do not go near the water! Unseen currents have killed xxx visitors"

 

With a sign like that, I had to at LEAST get my feet a little wet!

 

Mostly I just messed around at the water's edge, doing Pullups...

 

...and Handstands...

 

I later found an ancient firepit to do Overhead Squats by....

 

At the bottom of the waterfall (two hour hike to get here, two hour hike to get back!)

THURSDAY CROSSFIT

THAT'S NOT SMART!

haha, well...

We're ALL big fans of Mark Rippetoe, author of Starting Strength...seriously, this is recommended reading for all of you!

Lately we've been getting a kick out of www.70sbig.com, the website/philosophy that mixes hardcore weight training with drinking whole milk and wearing kneesocks (yes, even if you're a guy!)

And many people got on the gossip mill when the article about Crossfit came out on www.greyskullelite.blogspot.com.

Well, here are Mark Rippetoe, Justin Lascek from 70sbig, John Sheaffer aka Johnny Pain from Greyskull Elite, and random backseat dude Josh in the VCF Smart Car...

That's over a half a ton of men in that little car!

WEDNESDAY CROSSFIT

So, we canceled the "Women's Only" classes, and here's why...

I felt like, that, for every one woman out there saying to herself, "I don't like working out around guys" there were three women who like working out in a coed environment because they feel like it pushes them more, and FIVE guys saying, "Gosh, if only there were more class times open for me!"

VOILA!

The solution was simple...make the Monday-Wednesday-Friday 9am classes Coed.

We're in our second week of it, and it's going fantastically fantastic!

Here are pictures of two women who didn't mind the transition, Tina (whose husband Chris is an avid Crossfitter!)...

  

...and Jen...

WHAT IS CROSSFIT?!

THE 2010 CROSSFIT GAMES ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

Unless you're one of a select few, you're probably thinking about Holiday Shopping, New Year's Resolutions, about how this year has gone by so quickly, etc...

You're probably not thinking, "I gotta get ready for the Sectionals!"

But yeah...the Sectionals, and then the Regionals, are right around the corner!!!

They're coming out with the 2010 Crossfit Games site any day now...check out www.crossfitgames.com for the latest...
