- Healthy exercise is built around pushing, pulling, using your hips, and using your abs and back together in the right way.
- Functional movement means multi-joint movement that generates power. Power starts in the core and flows to the extremities, and velocity increases towards extremities.
- We specialize in not specializing. This is general physical preparedness training.
- The first thing to learn is the difference between hip flexion and torso flexion.
- Core strength means the ability to maintain a rigid torso. This is required to pass the power from the core or hips outward to the extremities/load, and to avoid back injury.
- Strength comes from challenging and gradually overloading the body’s biggest, most multi-joint-connected muscle systems, such as those surrounding the hips or the shoulders.
- In order to build a strong core, the body has to support itself (not sit in a machine to “exercise”).
- “Everyone can do CrossFit, but CrossFit is not for everyone. People who thrive on CrossFit are committed to hard work, willing to try without fear of failure, and eager for a challenge.” -Rainier CrossFit
- Movement is exhilarating and adds joy to your day.
