MOBILITY AT 5:30 pm tonight and Barbell Club at 6:30 pm!
A word from our in house Physical Therapist Melissa: Why should we do mobility? Can’t we just lift heavy weights? The fact of the matter is that we ask A LOT of our bodies everyday. And sometimes muscles get bound down and tight as a result. We need to take the time to mobilize to allow our bodies to move better as a unit (remember that song that you learned as a kid? “the foot bone’s connected to leg bone, the leg bone’s connected to the thigh bone”, etc. Well, it’s true!). We also need proper movement to prevent injury.  If you have a hard time getting below parallel for a squat, or getting full shoulder elevation for a shoulder to overhead THIS IS FOR YOU! This week will we hitting up those hips after lots of squats and digging in those shoulder blade areas for better shoulder mobility. 
The feedback we got with our mobility class prompted us to make a few changes.  #1 Today will be the last time mobility is at 5:30 pm.  Next week it will take place at the same time as barbell club at 6:30 pm(starts in March).  We will also be posting exactly what YOU will be MOBILIZING!  See above in bold for what Melissa will be taking you through today!

We have 60 people signed up for the CrossFit Open on team CFH! That means $600 is going to BARCS! Thanks for continuing to support us on ventures like this!

If you have not signed up for the CrossFit Open yet, there is still time…this is my last post to try and convince you!

Participating in the CrossFit open is not about being competitive, yelling and screaming at people to go faster and seeing who is the best of the best.  Every week we will create a fun, supportive environment for you to push harder then you ever thought.   Last year some athletes got their first double under and others put together 10 chest to bar pullups, we yelled and cheered just as loud no matter the accomplishment.  I have done every single CrossFit Open workout since 2011, I have never won any prize or finished in the top 10, but each and every year I discover something new about myself as an athlete.  Between the environment and the support system to push harder it makes for a fun, supportive, amazing experience!
