Rick R. said...: My rest day was yesterday.
Today:
Squat #275 x 5
Burpees x 10
For 5 rounds: 9:20
I was happy with time considering that I am still somewhat of a deadlift sissy (relatively speaking to the average Titanfit stud).

I can make it this Saturday AM. Hope to see everyone there.

Anonymous said...: I liked the workout on the board in this picture so much that I did it this morning at Golds.

1/2 mile run
Then 21-15-9 of:
bench jumps
sit-ups
25 pd. dumbbell swings

The whole thing took me 10:47 which I feel like is a pretty solid time. Also, about halfway through my second set of dumbbell swings, the girl who was using one of the weight machines nearby looked at me with wide eyes and said "you're kickin' ass!" So, there's that.; September 10, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Rick R. said...: Megan,

Great time for that workout! Sounds like you were noticeably impressive - way to represent us. We will need to start calling you the Titanfit Terminator from here on out.

TitanFit said...: OK McKim-Berg, You need a whole bunch of TitanFit t-shirts for your morning WODs at golds; September 10, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Thanks Rick! I dunno that I'm quite worthy of the 'TitanFit Terminator' nickname, but we'll continue to see.

And Herb - I totally thought of that myself. I only have one of the blue ones and it's Jerry's reject, so I definitely need some of my own. I gotta represent! Also, I would have told her about TitanFit, but all I could manage to say when she said that was 'I'm tired!'; September 11, 2008 at 9:22 AM

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.
