TITANFIT: Saturday 090110

Workout

Work on your weakness!

For me, today is Cleans. My squatting, pressing and MetCons have improved. My Olympic lifting has not. As such they will become a focus over the next few weeks to months.

What is your weakness? Today's session will be tailored to help you improve. YES, you. We all know TitanFit's brand of CrossFit is small group personalized training. Today it IS personalized training.

The fine folks of NPR have published a podcast with Mark Rippetoe (URL below). He discusses New years resolution workouts and what he feels are the best ways to get fit. Give it a listen. it is good for all to hear especially those that a new to "real" fitness as he refutes some of the commonly-held fitness myths people hear and take as "gospel" [e.g. ellipticals and LSD (long slow distance) training are great ways to get fit].

Thanks JB for the link.

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.
