I will be participating in the Columbus, Ohio Fit Club Games, August 5th, which is held right downtown in the park, pretty nifty setting http://ohiofitclub.com/fcgames/.
These community events are so much fun when the whole community comes together and spends an entire day together doing WOD’s (Workouts of the Day). It’s run pretty much run like any other CrossFit event but this will be an all day event with 4 WOD’s as opposed to an all weekend event.
These community events bring people from all walks of life. Anyone can sign up, just like you would at a race. You will find people from every fitness level, from beginners to elite.
Every year, there is always a memorable exercise that keeps people intrigued for the following year. Last year the challenge was the Curtis P marathon.
To execute a Curtis P requires 3 moves: a clean, a front left lunge and a front right lunge, followed by an over head press; these 3 moves = 1 repetition.
Curtis P’s are usually executed with a barbell. Here is an example of a Curtis P you can view on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLff8fhPIQg
Last year we did a ton of these! So I can only imagine what this year will bring!
I will be looking forward to this CrossFit event & representing PROLAB there!
