At LALANNE FITNESS, we are all students of CrossFit. We learn functional movements found in weight lifting, basic gymnastics and sprinting such as running, rowing and jumping. In class, each student receives personal coaching and learns how to perform the movements at a relatively high level of intensity. As your level of strength, fitness and intensity increase, so do the results! Every 'workout of the day' is an exciting, new set of physical challenges that is constantly varied. No routine, no boredom, no plateau's... just RESULTS!

This week I am thrilled to present Kelly as the LALANNE FITNESS, "Student Athlete of the Week". Kelly is a shining example of how CrossFit can change your life. She has lost 35 lbs. since she started here and has an amazing story! Her glowing smile and great personality is contagious. It has been a ton of fun coaching her over the last few months! If you're lucky, you'll see her in the next class!

Elite Fitness is an athletic ability or a 'ready' state in which one is capable of performing relatively well at any physical task thrown his way. Load a hopper with athletic tasks and the better athlete is able to do more of them better than the other guy. CrossFit is designed for this type of general physical preparation. Nature, on average, punishes the specialist. The more specialized you are the less cross-adapted you are likely to be in other measures of physical prowess. The CrossFit athlete is better able to deal with a variety of athletic demands than the athlete training with other fitness modalities.

At LALANNE FITNESS we train exclusively with Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns, which get the body (body weight exercises), or an external object (free weight exercises) moved, efficiently, effectively and quickly from one place to another. These movements are universal in that they are found everywhere, in everything we do from gardening to recreation and sports. Jumping, pushing, squatting, pulling, throwing, running, climbing... are movements that mimic what we do in life. As opposed to single-joint, isolation, machine based, body-building, rehab, 'health' club exercises, which are non-functional, segmented, artificial movements. These are not natural, thus inherently unsafe. Think about that one for a minute! Real world, athletic, powerful movements require a core to extremity connection. UMRP's are safe and in fact the safest type of exercises you can perform. They are the best rehab possible. The metabolic conditioning from high-intensity UMRP's is the very best 'cardio' available. The potential to increase work capacity is far greater than machine based 'cardio'. For example, instead of 20 minutes of circuit training on machines, try "Cindy"; as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of: 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats. Let me know if you felt a cardio workout? UMRP's are total body, compound, multi-joint, multi-muscle exercises. You can not break them down into separate (lateral raise, pec deck, leg curl) movements and get the same effect. Training in a segmented fashion develops a segmented capacity!
