LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

Today is the first day of the CrossFit open.  The open is a five week competition with one workout being posted each week.  The top teams will be selected to advance to the regional competition.  The first workout will be posted later in the day.  We will be completing this workout on Friday in the gym.  We have almost 40 people signed up for our team.  This is great to see.  Remember you still have until Sunday to register.

JUMP ROPE ORDER
A lot of members have been asking about jump ropes so we have decided to do a bulk order. We will be ordering from RX Jump ropes – www.rxjumpropes.com. These are the best jump ropes we have found and hold up well to the day to day beating of a CrossFit workout. A jump rope is a piece of equipment that is specific to each person which is why we are having each member purchase their own versus the gym buying a bunch of generic sizes that won’t get used and will hinder your ability to perform batter. This website offers different style handles, different style cables and are cut specifically for your size. We will have an order form at the front desk. Please choose what color handles you want, what style cable you would like, and the length of rope. The cost is $35 for their solid series and $45 for their tactical series. Please go to their website so you can read the description of each cable and see what level would mach your double under abilities. Below is a video of how to properly measure a jump rope.
