Workout of the Day-crossfit.com
With a continuously running clock, squat for 60 seconds. Subtract the number of squats completed from 60, and do that many pull-ups in minute two. In minute three, squat again, subtracting the number completed from 60. Do that number of push-ups in minute four. Minute five is squatting again, and minute six pull-ups. The pattern is squats, pull-ups, squats, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, etc. The goal is to stay within the workout's formula for as long as possible. Don't do more than 60 squats in any round. In any case, stay moving for at least 12 minutes.

The Argument Against Cereal Grains
What is a cereal grain?Cereal grains are seeds of monocot grasses that have been artificially selected by humans to serve as food. The ones that cause the most trouble, and constitute the biggest part of European and North American diets, are the gluten grains Wheat, Barley and Rye. I use the term gluten grains to signify primarily wheat barley and rye, but spelt, triticale and other less common grains, and some argue, oats are also gluten containing. One factor complicating gluten grain avoidance is the fact that non- gluten grains can often be contaminated by being processed on the same equipment as gluten grains.

Hi hi, St. John here! Lemme get personal with you- After the holidays, I’m losing weight, working out, and confident that LaLanne Fitness powered by CrossFit will help me achieve my 2010 goals! I had my first workout with LaLanne Fitness powered by CrossFit. This was my orientation to get to know the program. I started with the BASELINE workout and it kicked my ass LOL!!!! What a great reality check I did.
BASELINE Workout
500x meters rowing
40x squats
30x sit ups
20x push ups
10x pull ups
The workout was timed- I finished around 10 minutes. Now I can do the same workout again at a later time and see how much I improved. The work out was intense, but it only took me 1/6th of the time I usually dedicate to working out….. and I was working out many parts of my body (not just one or two). My next workout is this weekend—tell you about it soon!!! - Saint

COACHING the GROUP requires a skill set that comes only through trial and error... "experience." Coaching CrossFit to individuals at all levels of fitness and skill is an ART. The process of understanding and teaching this method of fitness has been an inspiring journey. Everyday I wake up thinking about how I can make each class and this entire program better. Our most faithful and loyal students understand the challenges I face as a coach, a leader and a mentor and I am fortunate to have their support. To my lovey wife and partner, Maribel and fellow coaches, Scott, Mike, and Natalie... THANK YOU ALL. Not only am I grateful to all of these amazing people and every student in our community, I'm fortunate to have new, rewarding and uplifting experiences every day. To all that believe in me and what I stand for... THANK YOU!



CrossFit has helped me change the lives many, including my own!
