How to Do CrossFit Exercise
How to Do the Cross Fit Exercise
By eHow Sports & Fitness Editor
Cross fit is one of the newest and hottest advances in exercise science. Based on years of fitness research, cross fit uses multiple functional exercises done at a rapid pace to push you to new levels of functional fitness. Follow these steps to begin doing your own cross fit program.
Step1-Familiarize yourself with the cross fit philosophy. Cross fit is about functional fitness. As such it adapts principles from multiple fitness and nutrition disciplines to build its program. Get familiar with cross fit by exploring the official cross fit website, Crossfit.com, and by asking questions on the Crossfit.com forum or speaking with your trainer (see Resources below).
Step2-Begin with what you know. The beauty of cross fit is its simplicity. This means that you can begin with virtually any set of exercises, even ones as basic as running, push-ups and sit-ups. Take one of the major cross fit techniques, such as high intensity interval training, and apply it to the set of exercises you are most familiar with.
Step3-Start using unfamiliar motions and equipment. Many people get intimidated by cross fit's focus on barbell deadlifts, cleans and advanced pull-ups. However, all of these exercises are very doable and do not take expert knowledge, but just patience and a good teacher. Choose one of the more advanced, intense exercises, such as the deadlift, and work it into your routine. Then pick a few others so you reach a more advanced level.
Step4-Work for time. The next addition to getting the swing of cross fit is a time objective. Part of the cross fit philosophy is that speed increases intensity, and intensity increases fitness. So, start clocking each of your exercise sets and circuits and attempt to break your own records each time. Alternatively, you can attempt the Crossfit.com "workout of the day" and compare your time with that of other cross-fitters.

Lord of the Rings
It is with a great sense of accomplishment that I can proudly state that all participants of my Strentgh Based Gymnastic Rings Workshop expanded their vocabulary of movement and learned new ways to think, move, and train on the rings!
Special thanks to Chris Hartwell, a friend and fellow coach at CrossFit Central who helped tremendously in several of the recent workshops.
Thanks to all who have attended any and all of my workshops!

There have been a handful of people who contacted me telling me how they wished they could attend this workshop but the time/date conflicted with their schedule. So I am offering this ring workshop again this Saturday from 12-2pm. Contact me at randalsetzler@crossfitcentral.com or 512-921-7563 to reserve your spot!

Resistance Band Training
The Lamar Bootcamp meets Tues/Thus from 5:30-6:30am and they always work hard!
Today we tried out some fitness bands (like the ones used for assisted pullups) but instead decided to try them out for developing break away speed, cardio, and strength. The verdict is in and it looks like thumbs up across the board. Feel free to come check out the bootcamp and see what we do. We'll even let you try it out for free!
