Long Weekend Coming Up

WOD

20 min amrap
400 m run (row)
30 air squats

I know it was tough to be there this morning. It is the holidays, but I was happy to see y'all.

We are looking forward to an awesome year, and it would not be possible without y'all. We are really looking forward to the Fight Gone Bad Clock. I can't wait to be able to concentrate on y'alls form and technique instead of watching the stop watch.

Hey Chris, Fifty bucks:)

Christmas Party Pictures

The Buchanan family going all in:


Here is a picture of our Christmas Outfit Contest: Susan Buchanan and Chris Bruce




I have more pictures coming soon.
10 Rounds

200m Run
7 Thrusters

The trick with this one is that there will not always be a bar ready for you to do thrusters, so you will have to do burpees till a bar becomes available. First come first serve so bust your ass on the run.

Tuesday's WOD

30 Knees to Chest

20 Wall Balls

10 SDHP

Julie, thanks for bringing the Andrew and Sean. I hope they enjoyed themselves. I will be publishing photos of the Sunday Party. Sorry it has taken so long.

Y'all did a great job on the Tabata workout. Greg thanks for bringing Jacque. Hope she has fun working out at the box during the holidays. Courtney, McCoy did an awesome job. That little boy is a hard worker. We went over the air squat form and technique, because it is the basis for alot of our movements. It is important that the air squat is done correctly. Using proper form and technique will help eliminate knee pain.

Fight Gone Bad "FGB"

"FGB"

3 rounds
Continous clock,
one minute of work at each exercise,
one minute of rest after each round.

exercises:
Wall Ball (20 lb men, 14 lb women)
Sumo DeadLift High Pull (75 lb men, 55 lb women)
Box Jump 20"
Push Press (75 lb men, 55 lb women)
Row number of calories burned is your total on this one.

Been a little while since we did fight gone bad. Aaron, Chris, Carol, Laura and Courtney, y'all did a great job pushing through that WOD. It takes alot to get back into the the fight after that one minute rest. Knowing what you just did and that you are going to do the same thing two more times, alot of people would just quit. But not the crossfitters. I know it is hard to keep going, but that is what this workout is all about. Pushing ourselves past the comfort levels.

Welcome

Would like to send out a special welcome to Sylvia Black she is our newest athlete. Thanks for choosing us and welcome to the Hill Country CrossFit family.

WOD

4 rounds

500m row
8 clapping push ups
12 abmat back ext.

Good work today gals.

Wednesday Night

Greg you did an excellent job last night. You have come along way with your form on the thrusters. I could tell you were really pushing yourself past that comfort level and it showed. So how do you feel about mountain climbers and hollow rocks? Did they kick your butt?

Brent and I also want to hear back from our athletes. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. We want to meet every bodies needs and make them the best CrossFit athletes they can be. We think by adding some new times to the schedule will give y'all better opportunities to work on your fitness goals.

We know the holidays can be busy, and stressful. So when you are feeling the stress, check to see if there is a class that can help with that. Nothing takes away tension and stress like a WOD. If you happen to miss the morning, we would love to see you in the evening.

But most of all enjoy the holidays and time with your family.

Ken
