CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE

Lisa often refers to the gym as the “adult playground”.  Much of the equipment does resemble the things you’d find on the best jungle gyms out there and our community is made, quite often, of people who never “out grew” the playground.

So when Corryn finished her workout yesterday I asked her how she was feeling.  She had one of the best replies we’ve ever heard from someone who’s a few birthdays past her 21st: “Great“, she said, “I’m on the playground.”

Having fun while getting stronger!  What’s better than that?

THE ABMAT IS AWESOME-HERE’S WHY             “The AbMat, when placed under the lumbar spine with the higher portion towards your bum creates this beautiful environment for the abdominals to move through their full and available range of motion.”—Meghan Rovig for Breaking Muscle

SPRINTING FOR MUSCLE              “Sprinting is a good general test for hamstring strength, since the hamstrings are the dominant muscle group in sprinting. The specific joint angles that occur during a sprint mimic a reverse hyper, a staple supplemental exercise for people looking to get strong or big. Integrating some speed work into your training helps address weaknesses at the posterior chain and ensures that this area is contributing maximally during your lifts.“—Travis Hansen for TNation.com
