In a world where women are told what they can't do, we are here to do it better than you!!



The Elite Woman's Mission:

We are the women of Elite CrossFit. We are mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters. We are secretaries, CPA's, students, teachers, community leaders, professors, and coaches. We are a family of females, driven by the goal to be better human beings. We achieve this through fitness. We will lift, jump, run, swing, press, squat, throw, pull, snatch, clean, row, win, lose, and climb our way to the top! We will never give up. Ever. We are here to send a powerful message that beauty and confidence are found through strength. And we are strong. To all the ladies who are scared of a barbell, to those afraid to sweat, and to all the women who have sufficed to "girl pushups," we challenge you to take the leap; adequate is not our goal. Better is what we must be. We will push each other, compete, succeed, fail, and endure pain some men may not imagine. And we will do it everyday, so we are better than we were yesterday.

Which One?

Which one was rougher, the warm up or the WOD? Intensity is relative. The term "relative" means "dependant," on many factors: your age, your fitness level, eating habits, sleeping habits, your strengths or weaknesses, mental factor to push yourself, illness/injury...the list goes on and on. Perhaps in the warm up this morning you were fresh, rested, so you went "balls to the wall." It was hard for you. When the WOD came around, for whatever reason (insert reason from list above), the relative intensity was lower and the WOD was seemingly easier. I tell my athletes all the time, "the body will do it!" It is your mind who is in total control over how well and to what degree your body will do it. Pushing your limits and reaching outside your comfort zone, continuously, is the only proven way to form long-lasting results!! Either that....or the warm up was too hard. (which I have thought of too!) great job!! Enjoy the weekend.
