Haiti Disaster Support Fundraiser Workout

Instead of a regular workout, today we are having a fundraising workout in support of the Haiti disaster.  The workout is a surprise and has been influenced by a popular reality television program.  We will post an update after the event with the workout and hopefully some great photos.  Hope to see you there!

We CAN...

Because we can!  Sounds simple right…but this ability is truly a gift.

Today we take on Fight Gone Bad to raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer and the Wounded Warrior fund.  We are taking on a grueling workout for those that can’t.  We can, so we do.  Yes it’s fun, and a great community builder, to suffer and push through 3 rounds of intense movements, but there is a greater outcome of our efforts.  The money we raise will help someone somewhere suffering at this very moment in a very different way.  Our efforts are helping to make a difference.

This “because I can” isn’t unique to today.  Everyday we should DO because we can.  We are given one body for life, and it’s our responsibility to keep that body healthy and happy.  The choices we make in nutrition and exercise directly affect the happiness of our body.  We are given the power to be the best we can.

Some have this choice taken from them through illness or injury.  How can we not “DO,” when there are those out there that “CAN’T DO?”

Take care of your body as the incredible gift it is.

Good Luck to Team Toronto today at FGB!  Go DO your best!

*Also, good luck to our Aimee who is taking on FGB at CrossFit Vancouver (her new home!)

There are no regular classes today due to the Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser.  Come out and show your support.  The event begins at 10am and runs until all participants have completed their rounds.

It's all in your...LEGS!

Tomorrow is the real deal.  Fight Gone Bad…the official!  You’ve practiced, you’ve fund-raised, and hopefully today you rest!  Don’t take on anything too crazy today as you want to ensure you’re in fine form tomorrow.  Perhaps we’ll be seeing some PR’s?!

There is a common misconception that most of the movements in FGB are generated from the arms and shoulders.  If this is what you’re doing…stop now!  Although the weight may be moved by the upper body…remember the force is coming from below.

Your HIPS and LEGS are you’re drivers!  If you aren’t generating your power from here you are sabotaging yourself from a higher score.

Put your legs into it.

Good Luck Team Toronto!  Fight Hard!

Workout

Work your goats!  If you are participating in FGB tomorrow…don’t work them too hard!
