Today I spent the day in NYC. We went and saw The Bodies exhibit down at the South Street Sea Port. The human body is absolutely amazing, words cant describe how unbelievable our body is set ,and the millions of blood vessels and veins we have. They had bodies put into positions of movement and showed exactly what muscles fired what ones elongated what tendons held things together what bones gave play etc. It was unbelievable how within one movement every muscle from the tip of your toe to the top of your head all worked together to perform the movement. The exhibit really made you have a ton of respect and awe for how we move. When doing CrossFit workouts our bodies perform a tremendous amount of work to fire off each and every movement. Did you know every single drop of blood in our body passes through our hearts every minute? WOW!

Our workout was a Turkish Get Up day. If you haven’t been doing The Turkish Get Up , you need to start yesterday.  Everyone knows how much i stand behind this movement.  If you plan on coming to CrossFit IGNITE you will be performing this movement in one shape or form in every workout.  Read this short article on the Get Up.  Tina and I both “PR’d” yesterday on our Get Ups. I finally got the 96lber on both side with great form, and Tina crushed it by doing the 53lber both sides with impeccable form. She is doing more then half of what I’m doing! I gotta step it up!!
