CEREMONY YOGA X LCF
YOGA WAS SUPER FUN!
The idea of YIN yoga- being still and present was quite the treat. Our instructor Mary, Co-Owner of Ceremony Yoga led us through a relaxing, slow mobility session that was really nice! We had around 28 members join us for this free session and we packed the house (no shocker there! y’all always show up for our events!) We will host this again! Thanks Ceremony Yoga!
MY THOUGHTS ON THE CROSSFIT LEVEL 1
Short story, everyone should get the L-1.
We love CrossFit, right? The average time someone will do CrossFit for is currently 3-4 years (everyday CrossFit expands on this range).
SO! Hear me out, we workout 4-6 days a week for years, right?! Shouldn’t we know a little more about the sport outside of the wall of LCF and the GAMES?
We do CrossFit because we want to become the best version of ourselves as we can be. We change how we, sleep, eat, train, party, to become better. What we do not do, what CrossFit trying to change, is the idea that you can only get the L-1 if you plan to coach. I really think this should change too.
We should be learning about the sports methodology: why the programming might only be running for the day, or only a heavy day. Learn why we don’t program weightlifting and a metcon everyday.
Coaching is a part of the CrossFit methodology. So is working on all of the ten general physical skills.
