CrossFit CenTex athletes having fun, working towards a common goal and loving the results of the two combined.

What is this CrossFit stuff I have heard about, and is it for me ?

We say YES, CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program based upon functional movements. The very definition of functional means useful in daily activities. Improvements in strength, coordination, balance, cardio-respritory endurance and flexibility serve all of us well. At CrossFit CenTex our coaches teach mechanics first, then consistency followed by intensity. We fill our classes with athletes of all skill levels, from beginers to advanced. Each cheering the other on towards their goals.

Please feel free to join us, we love to share our community. Contact us at 870-0870 TODAY !

LAYIN IT ON THE LINE

I can’t make you a better athlete. I can’t make you skinny. Or fat. I can’t make you a better person. I can’t make you a better friend, a better lover, a better mother or a better father.

I can’t make you run or row or front squat or L-sit or do handstand push-ups.

I can’t make you do anything.

You are the person with the power. The person with the choices. The person who makes the decisions. Only you can make you do anything.

All I can do is provide expert instruction, an outstanding facility, a phenomenal community, and an accepting atmosphere where it’s safe to (mess) up and try again.

And results. Lots of results if you’re willing to work for them.

You have to decide if you’re ready to accept that challenge. You have to decide if you have a warrior’s soul, if you’re a CrossFitter.

I am a CrossFit coach. I am a CrossFit affiliate.

What are you?

CENTEX WOMEN ARE STRONG !

Thu, 12 Jan 12 00:00:00 -0600

CrossFit CenTex women.......doing what they always do....training heavy, training hard and LOVING the results.

Why Women Should Lift Weights

We know that increasing and maintaining adequate muscle mass is one of the best ways to keep body fat at bay and to improve overall fitness, particularly as we age. We also know that weight lifting is the best way to build muscle mass. Still, the number of women who actually participate in any formal or consistent weight training workout is still extremely low. Most women who exercise are spending most of their gym time on cardiovascular exercise. Whatever your reasons for avoiding the weights, if you are a woman, here are ten reasons why you need to take strength training seriously. continue reading at

20 Rep Squats!

Sun, 08 Jan 12 00:00:00 -0600

WHY?

It is a new challenge to your body and mind.

BODY: Added volume. It will stimulate muscle growth! More muscle means YOU ARE STRONGER!

MENTAL: There will be a time within the 20 reps where the weight on your back will feel heavier then it has ever felt before. Keep working with great technique. Remember to breath.

Oh, you will be sore. Make sure you EAT! Have something to start the recovery process. (ie: palm size of protein and a fist size of carb-dense veg.)

AND THE WINNER IS......
