CSC Sweatiest Angel - May 2015

Congratulations - Katy Appleby

Join us in congratulating CrossFit Sixth City's Sweatiest Angel recipient for the month of June 2015 - Katy Appleby!

Sweatiest Angel Award

Each month CSC recognizes someone for their hard work. The Sweatiest Angel is not someone who works as hard as they can day in and day out, but also receptive to coaching, a great teammate and consistently focused on pursuing their goals.

Question + Answer

How many years have you been doing CrossFit?
Two years in August.

What do you do when you are not at CSC (hobbies, occupation, etc)?
My hobbies include: pretending to be a law student, copious hydration, trying to match my sunglasses to my outfit, and telling stories with too much detail.

When did you realize CrossFit was for you?

When I walked in on my first day of on-ramp and had the same shoes on as Stokes, after watching her bound a bunch of box jumps like she does, I knew I had to try and be just like her.

What is your favorite WOD/movement?

I love to hang out with my best friend Rusty the Kettlebell and do Oly with Coach J and his girls.

What is your LEAST favorite WOD/movement?

Thrusters and running. Just generally all things cardio. My motto is to pick up heavy things slowly and not very many times.

One thing you've done at CSC you never thought you would do?

Leave an entire body sweat mark that looked similar to a lobster, and learn how to Olympic weight lift.

What motivates you during a WOD?

I am hugely impacted by the music. Bad and Slow music = Bad and Slow CrossFit.

What advice would you give someone just starting CrossFit?

Don't get discouraged if you can't do something yet, focus on having good technique the weight will come. Have as much fun as possible and the members aren't scary, they were new once too.

CrossFit, The Newbie Mindset

Dear CrossFit beginners, this is what your coach wants you to know... Whether you are a new CrossFit athlete, someone interested in trying our style of fitness or someone on the fence, we want you to understand our mindset when it comes to training you and our expectations for you on day one. We will also address the common concerns we hear from beginners. I have to get into better shape before I start CrossFit. I feel bad saying this but sometimes this statement makes us laugh. Perhaps it is the frequency with which we hear it. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on a few guiding principles (constantly varied, functional movement, at high intensity) and created to improve overall health, wellness and fitness. It is a fitness program. Some other fitness programs include Zumba, boot camps, etc. I don't say this to be condescending but to make the point that you probably wouldn't think about getting into shape to do Zumba. Likely, one would make the as
