Body awareness? How much do you have? No, I don’t mean what you look like in the mirror. Body awareness is how well you can feel your body move and how you understand the movements your body makes. Think about your squat…are you going deep enough? How do you know? Can you feel it or do you need to look in the mirror? Our body awarness changes with new movements and skills but always increases with practice. For our kids, their bodies are constantly changing and are fairly new to them so body awareness is a constant challenge. Gymnastics is an integral part in the training of CrossFitters and requires not only body awarenss but total body control as well. Gaining good awarness and control of your body is critical in our development for proper movements throughout our lives and truly gaining confidence knowing that you can do anything!Today our CrossFit Scottsdale Kids get introduced to the rings to challenge their awareness and control of their body.

Okay everyone; take advantage of this because it will probably never happen again. This Sunday we are going to open up the gym from 7am-10am for people to come and work out. A film crew will be doing live weather shots throughout the morning to promote the 9/11 event and we would like people to be able to come and work out during that time. We will be organizing some mini WODs for people to do every ½ hour. There will be coaches here to give tips on movements that you may need help with, but this will not take the place of a skill lesson. Whether you are looking for that first muscle up, double under, kipping pull up, or you just want to work on your Olympic lifting, this is your chance! So come on in for an hour or three, WOD, work out, and practice, practice, practice!

How do you feel about running? Do you love running and want to keep getting better and faster? Do you hate running and find it frustrating? In either case, the only way to improve is to KEEP RUNNING. Nobody gets better at anything by NOT doing it. Every great athlete at one point was the new guy, learning, fumbling and failing just like the rest of us. People who have achieved "mastery" don't ever stop the work, though. They exercise their "show up, don't quit" attitude over and over. A great way to make the "work" interesting is to put some "skin in the game" and to do it with a group of like-minded people. Which leads me to...the CrossFit Scottsdale 5K Challenge. Are you in?? Cost is $25.00 per participant. Sign up by emailing infor@CrossFitScottsdale.com or signing up at the gym.
