The Pictures Tell the Story

Angie started training with ARCFit in June of this year, saying that she needed to get into “wedding shape”.  Well seven months have come and gone and the newlywed keeps getting fitter and stronger (not to mention she got her hubby to start training as well)!  Above is a photo of Angie doing jumping pull-ups at our old box and below is a pix of what she looks like today.  Jumping pull-ups are a thing of the past for her now, as she knocked out her first unassisted kipping pull-ups two weeks ago.  Not only that, but she has single handedly taken over the ARCFit New Year’s Challenge which consisted of completing either a burpee, pull-up or KB swing for each day starting back in mid-October.  It has since been renamed the “Angie’s New Year’s Challenge” because she is the only member who has stuck with it the entire time.  The Challenge ends on New Year’s Eve and Angie can take a break from all of those burpees she’s been doing the last few months. Angie is a testament to CrossFit and the philosophy of high intensity training over short intervals.  Combine that with proper nutrition and you start sporting guns like Angie’s.  Your hard work and dedication is paying off, keep it up girl!-CN

Guess who’s back?  That’s right, the number one b*tch!

“Fran”

21-15-9 reps of:

Thrusters

Pull-ups

********************************

PLEASE RECYCLE!

Ok peeps, here’s the deal.  If any of the trainers (or members for that matter) catch you not recycling your plastic water bottles in the recycle bin, it’s an automatic fine.  First time offenders will be required to bust out 25 burpees on the spot.  Repeat offenders will add 25 burpees on to each violation.  I’m tired of reaching into the trash and recycling YOUR water bottles.  Don’t be lazy, walk it over to the recycle bin!  Whew, I feel better now.-CN

  13. TY for the workout, ARCF. Fran is just about my favorite workout though I haven’t put that slow of a time at her in awhile (7:37) though I was figuring it was gonna be just under 7 but not broken which made it a trial.

    TY for making me get a lil pukie though I made it to the Jon in time though I was out of it for awhile after. It’s been a long time since that good ole feeling.

  17. YAY Angie! Great job on sticking to your challenge. Wish I could speak for everyone else. As a coach, I’m inspired by your focus, determination, and drive to live a healthier life. Good job again. See you and Brian in the box Monday. Aloha!
