Training With A Purpose

 My goal for this class is to improve health awareness and the level of fitness among our student body. The biggest misconception about fitness among our society today is that surgery, medication, and/or working out alone is the answer to improving your overall health and fitness. We will be working towards raising the level of our overall health and fitness by learning about personal discipline, nutrition, as well as training in and out of the weight room.

We are going to learn how a well balanced diet is essential in maintaining and improving health. This is after one year of doing Crossfit. It doesn’t matter how much you workout, if your nutrition is not dialed in you are going to expend a lot of time and effort and see minimal results

My expectations for you in this class is that you participate everyday. This in not just a weightlifting class. Your participation includes in class as well as at home.

Your training will include weightlifting and running. We will also practice different disciplines of lifting.

Concentric  Concentric movement of the muscle is what we typically focus on while weightlifting. It is when we shorten the muscle by lifting a weight. For example when doing bicep curls, concentric movement is when you curl the weight up from your side to your shoulder. Eccentric  Eccentric movement is the exact opposite. It is when we lengthen the muscle by returning it to the start position. An example of eccentric movement is when you return the weight from your shoulder to your side.
