TITANFIT: Wednesday 080116

What do you like to listen to while working out? The following link is an article in the NYT. In the article, they mention ’80s cardio playlist, which includes the short-shorts video classic “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham!

WE DO NOT, CAN NOT PLAY WHAM here, just so you know.

It is cold outside. That being the case, today we will row!

Aim for 2:00 pace for each row. During the "rest" complete 5 dead hang pull-ups and 10 ring push-ups. All in all, the workout should take about 50 minutes...

About Us

TITANFIT is a CrossFit affiliate. We are located on the Westside of Indianapolis, IN (Indy).

TITANFIT is not your run of the mill, ordinary training environment. We design workouts, coach, train and cheer you on to achieve better overall fitness. We define fitness as the pursuit of function and we measure performance - not anatomy. Simply put if you are exercising for “boy band” abs, we are not the facility for you.

If, however, you want/need to achieve real FITNESS, come experience training with us...Indy’s most hands-on training environment.

Why?

I have competed in a number of sports–football, track and field, biking, and power lifting to name a few. Like many, while competing and training for sports, I had my fair share of pains and injuries. I attributed those mounting pains and injuries to age and bad luck.

I have also wasted a great deal of time and energy doing un-necessary things, like 60 minute lifecycle sessions, leg extensions, calf raises (yet I still have VERY small calfs), bench press 3x per week, pec deck and the like.

I did all those things thinking I was making myself more fit - silly me. All those leg extensions gave me knee pain. All of the bench pressing helps when I need to push a car out of the snow, but has little real life applications and gave me sore shoulders. All of the slow motion, wasted time on the lifecycle made me less fit, yet the lifecycle monitor told me I was burning hundreds of calories.

In 2005, I saw this quote, "Nature does not care if you have big hulking biceps."

Shortly thereafter, I found CrossFit! What I’ve discovered, stumbled upon and want to share with you, is proper training is the key. Proper functional training has erased the pains that were caused by the combination of slow aerobics and bodybuilding training. Proper functional training is the ounce of prevention that is actually needed. Proper functional training has allowed me to become more fit in less than half the time I used to spend in those franchised "Fitness"-smoothie-making-spandex-ridden-"health"-clubs. Without CrossFit, I would still be in a fitness, lack of fitness, truth be told, rut.

Fitness is not available in pill form. You can not buy it from a late night infomercial or at a kiosk at the local mall. Fitness that lasts a life time and fitness that gives you a better quality of life, takes hard work! To get results come to try CrossFit at Indy’s most hands-on training environment.
