Friday evenings at 4pm in October. New stretching and flexibility class Free for all students.
In celebration of fitness legend Jack LaLanne’s 95th birthday, his grandnephew Chris LaLanne attempted a feat performed by his uncle more than 50 years ago. Chris, 34 challenged Jack’s world record of 1,000 push ups and 1,000 pull ups in one hour and 22 minutes – a feat performed last by Jack on his 45th birthday in 1959.
Chris LaLanne (who is the essential Fire breather) was able to complete 500 of each exercise before his hands were torn to shreds. Still an amazing accomplishment by itself. I have no doubt that each of you are able to accomplish 1000 of each, although we only have 1 hour of time for class. We will be doing the same workout but only as a group. We will pick teams and discuss strategy in class. Coach Tiffany and Coach Maxwell will also be holding a “Food as Fuel” seminar after class at 11:30-12:30. This is a basic class discussing the elements of a Zone diet, a Paleo diet and the fusion of both and how all these components effect your every day performance.

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.
