“First off, thanks Justin, Anne, and Nicolette for helping with such an amazing event! It may have been the most rewarding day of my coaching career!! The energy, attitudes, positivity, support, and complete dedication was unreal! 3 Ladies got muscle ups, a few kipping pull-ups, a ton of goals were set, and a community of Rx-Stars has been built! Women from all over Orange County attended with 6 different boxes being represented and every brought some insight and great feedback! I am stoked that OCC is offereing to host this great series and is really dedicated to helping all the ladies just Kick some serious butt!

Gymnastics and body control are a big part of the CrossFit programing. We all need work on our handstands and here is a perfect opportunity.

Check out this video of the handstand and some of its variations.

Just had a meeting with Scott Mackenzie who owns Bare Natural Foods and he brought by some samples of their new food. They have just contracted a great new chef and the food is insane. They will be offering Breakfast, Lunch, snack, and dinner options five days a week starting on August 3rd. I am strongly encourage you to check them out. The food I had was as good as any restaurant and whats better is its all Paleo and with mostly organic ingredients. Check out their site asap and get in an order.
