Huh!? This month we are testing
your ability to perform the 10 Physical Skills. If you remember from the On Ramp
one of the definitions of fitness is the 10 Physical Skills. They are endurance,
strength, coordination, flexibility, power, speed, balance, coordination,
accuracy, and agility. Mastering these skills is hard work and takes a
combination of training and practice.
First Annual CFM 10
Skills Challenge
So here are the details.
CrossFit Macomb is holding its first annual CrossFit Macomb 10 Skills Challenge
on Saturday, May 19th. This competition will bring the local CrossFit community
together for a day long competition that will test each individual on their
competency in the 10 physicals skills.
This is a team
challenge. The teams will consist of 4 athletes. Teams can include
athletes from different CF boxes. This event is geared toward expanding
everyone's ability in performing the 10 physical skills. So all skill
levels are welcomed and scaling will be available. We have change the
rules so that any combination of guys and girls can make up a team.
You can get involved in two
ways. (1) Get a team together and test your skills. (2) We are going to need
quite a few judges and other volunteers to help make this competition happen. If
you are interested in volunteering, we will have a sign up sheet in the
office.
There will be 4 WOD's for every team with a 5th winner's circle WOD to
determine the team that has mastered all 10 Skills. The first three WODs will be
announced two weeks before the Challenge. We will post video demonstration of
the standards for movements and expectations of the WODs. We will be
offereing individual prizes to the top three teams. Only Rx'd teams are
eligible for the prizes. Register by May 9th.
(Only the team captains
need to register)
A Great Big Thank
You!
I'd like to send out a great big
Thank You! to Shannon, Deb and the spotters for covering for Lisa and I while we
were on vacation. We had a great time on vacation and by the sounds of it we
weren't even missed. Just kidding. Thank you guys so much for volunteering your
time and being apart of CrossFit Macomb.
The May
Macombies
This month we are honoring a
great success story and someone that I am truly proud of. Stephanie (Sammy)
M started in July of 2011. She has made a dramatic noticeable change in her
life. She has lost 35 lbs and 6 inches around her waist. I joked with Sammy that
I notice these changes once her pink shorts weren't so tight anymore. Sammy
threw herself into CrossFit. She did her first competition with a make shift
team during the Battle of the Boxes in November. Her favorite WOD is Jack and
can now complete 7 rounds + 4 reps. Sammy was also one of the winners of the
Paleo Challenge we had during the first of the year.
Sammy had this to say about her
Macombie,
"I have to say that I absolutely love my CFM family! I would not be
where I am today without every one of you. The constant pushing, encouragement
and motivation has helped me every step of the way. I love it, live it and am
addicted! One of the most touching things I've heard lately is how I inspired
someone. I never thought of myself that way and it truely touched me when they
told me. It makes all the hard work worth even more."
Keep up the great work Sammy!
