Note: In yesterday’s blog post we explained how Melissa came in fourth place at the competition, but won the Finals. The “Finals” was a fifth workout that only the top 5 athletes in each division got to compete in. Melissa came in first during the Women Scaled final which bumped her up from fifth place to fourth place. Sorry for the confusion.—George

The Most Awesome Explanation Ever Of What Happens When You Stop Going Outside “Need another reason to get up from your desk or turn off the television? Watch this amazing explanation and artistic visualization of what actually happens to your body when you get off your duff and get some sun (and what happens when you don’t.) It’ll have you changing your ways and getting out and about in no time.“—Liz Dwyer for Good.is
How High Can You Step?: A simple test checks your leg muscle function.
“The patient has to step up onto the device using one leg, without pushing upwards with the foot that’s still on the floor. The highest height you can reach gives a pretty good indicator of whether you’ll be able to get around and perform the tasks of day-to-day living. In their initial study of the device, the researchers found that middle-aged men who could step up at least 35 cm and middle-aged women who could step up at least 32 cm were generally without limitations in their daily lives.”—Alex Hutchinson for Runners World

Your shoulder is one of the most diverse joints in the human body. For true performance there has to be a balance of stability versus mobility. It means nothing in crossfit to be able to press your body weight and not be able to complete a full range pull-up or to have a perfect snatch with the PVC but can’t hold a 15# bar overhead. Because of this delicate balance, we see a lot of nagging injuries in the shoulders with no pinpointed trauma. This seminar is aimed to educate the crossfitter in the dynamics associated with the shoulder joint for increased controlled movement.
Seminar Highlights:
* Basic Shoulder Anatomy
* Basic Shoulder Kinesiology
* Mobilization and Stretching
* Strengthening and Biomechanics
* Q&A
