The two day Gymnastic certification presented by Jeff Tucker is to educate you in basic gymnastic movements which in turn will allow you to progress in your CrossFit workouts.  Such skills and drills, basic or otherwise, will allow you to develop strength moves and variations in your personal training.  All of these movements are based on form and the progression toward form with strength.  Small moves will bring great rewards – you don’t rush these movements, you LEARN them!

The CrossFit Nutrition Seminar is one day with Matt Lalonde and Bobbi Millsaps learning the art and science of performance nutrition. Matt and Bobbi are teaching the seminar under the guidance of Robb Wolf.  The day will include lecture and theory of performance eating, recovery and optimizing health and longevity. Significant emphasis will be placed on the PRACTICAL implementation of Paleo/Zone concepts. By the end of the day you and your clients will have no more excuses why you cannot feed and water yourself for optimum performance!

You then get to choose two days of outdoor winter adventure.  San Juan Mountain Guides,  will be leading you in your choice of two of the following: ice climbing, backcountry ski touring, snowshoeing, or crosscountry skiing.  Never been on vertical ice before?  Never been in the backcountry to ski or snowshoe before?  Remember one of the tenants of CrossFit.  Try new sports.

The Ouray Ice Park attracts visitors from all over the world.  Spend a day learning to ice climb or hone your skills on harder ice or mixed routes.  Or choose to venture into the high country around Ouray for a taste of backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, or crosscountry skiing.  All equipment needed for the adventure will be provided.

The location is Hypoxia CrossFit  in Ouray Colorado.  Ouray is known as the Switzerland of America.  The town sits nestled in a box canyon just below 8,000 feet in the heart of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado.  You will be guests of the Timber Ridge Lodge, at the north end of town.  The town of Ouray is less than one square mile, and has 900 year round residents.  This is a cozy location in a beautiful setting.

If you would like to stay and play beyond the certification dates, you can make arrangements with the Timber Ridge Lodge.  While in town, you can visit the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.  You can also enjoy front country skiing at Telluride, just an hour by car.

There is no 1:00 class this week, only 6:00 and 8:15.

p>We will resume the 5:30 class starting on 9/8.

Hypoxia is fortunate to be able to host two members of the 5.10 Parkour Team, Team Street Stunts.  Stay tuned for the date!
Even if you don’t want to be the next Jacki Chan, learning how to roll, fall and move your body through space efficiently and safely can keep you from getting injured and is just plain fun!

What is Parkour?  Parkour is an art of movement in which you train the body and mind to overcome obstacles. A parkour practitioner, called a traceur (male) or traceuse (female), uses their surroundings to improve their ability to move in space. By interacting with obstacles, be they urban architecture or the natural environment, the practitioner becomes more comfortable controlling his body and navigating any terrain.

Parkour is not acrobatics, tricking, stunts, recklessness, or jumping off high objects for no reason. It is not any movement or activity that doesn’t fit in the above description “What Parkour Is”. It is also not “What you make of it” … it is predefined and has a purpose, if something doesn’t suit that purpose, it is not Parkour.
