Swingers!!

The ladies at 6:30PM LCRA get their swing on! They brave the cool night air three nights a week to spend some quality time with me and the trusty dumb bell and med ball. The dumb bell swing is a move that gets the whole body involved and works the core like you like it to be done. The swing is performed the same way as the kettle bell swing, so not having a kettle bell is no excuse to not performing the move.

What I Support

I know this has nothing to do with crossfit. I also know that a lot of people don't care about my political views. But in the misted of everything that is going on right now and all the frenzy going on about the new President elect, I had to post this. This is the man I supported during the primaries and I still support him today along with his movement Campaign For Liberty. I hope you will watch this and read the quotes and listen to Ron Pauls words and consider the times we live in and what it truly means to be free. To consider the true role of our government the way our founders intended and ponder, are we truly free from government? Is it the government's role to take care of us? Just something to think about.

Texas Tech WINS!!!

I can't help it!! This was just after replay declared Crabtree's touchdown was good!! This was one of the greatest football games I have ever been too. I just wanted to share with all you great Longhorn fans. GET YOUR GUNS!!!!

Success!!

Susannah who attends my 5:30AM crossfit class has had tremendous success with crossfit!! She follows the zone diet, uses Advocare supplements, takes advantage of all the free programs crossfit central offers to our clients and works her tail off!! I am so proud of her and I'm glad to be apart of her life and a small part of her success. Way to go Susannah!!

Time To Get Lean With Lean Turkey

That time of the year has come when we have party's to go to and lots of good food is around. Well Crossfit Central has come up with a way to combat that, with the Lean Turkey. What is it? Well, we have selected a group of current clients to compete on November 22 against the other coaches and there team for some wonderful prizes. We as coaches will encourage our teams to eat right workout hard and conduct some special workouts together to repair for the BIG competition. This is a way to encourage everyone to stay disciplined and have a goal to work towards during this crazy and hectic time, and hopefully look like Big Mike over to the left. Oh yea I can't wait!!

Boot Camp!!

Ya know , I've been thinking about why I love coaching boot camps for a while. It's not hard for me to know why, I just haven't written it down for others to see and read. Boot camps have helped me grow in so many way's. It is quite astounding. I remember the first time I went to a Crossfit Central boot camp to help Jeremy. I had no idea what to expect or what to do. I followed Jeremy around for about two months, learning the warm up, coaching cues and things like that. I probably wasn't ready to coach my own, but Jeremy insisted we needed an evening boot camp and I needed to start it.
So I met a young man by the name of Vic at Deep Eddie park and I started to put him through boot camp, just me and him. If it wasn't for UTB's he wouldn't have come. This was a little over two years ago. So, fast forward to now, I coach three boot camps four days a week with thirty people all over Austin, Tx. LCRA boot camp, Bridge Point boot camp and LCRA Corp. boot camp. But the whole point of me writing this is to share with you why I love coaching you guys.
For starters, I get to meet new people and have a positive influence in there lives. It's crazy to me that people look up to me and seek my guidance and opinion. And it's not just about coaching, but life and friendships. For any of you that have spent time away from crossfit with me and have gotten to know me must know that I am a political junky and readily share my opinions, and I do. I love to get to know everyone outside of just training and talking politics or sports. It is fun and it's all light hearted. I have developed a relationship with all of my boot campers and regularly talk with all of them ether on the phone or through email. I also know may of the boot campers have made friends with each other and regularly hang out out side of boot camp. And some of us have been known to go out and take advantage of some of the good watering holes around Austin. So aside from all the positives everyone gets from the boot camps, we develop friendships and learn how to push each other and encourage one another.
So, there are some of the reasons I enjoy coaching boot camps so much. I get to meet wonderful and inspiring people and get to see them change there lives and be apart of it. I hope for some of you sitting on the fence trying to decide if you should come to a boot camp take what I've said here and consider all the positive I just mentioned. It could very easily change your life and meeting you will most likely play a role in mine.

The New Month Is Here

The time is now to change your life, feel better and meet new people. I don't want to hear how it's to early, it's to hot, I don't have time, hog wash!! Boot camp IS a challenge, sometimes IT does hurt and yes it is hot but so what.
