CSC Sweatiest Angel September 2016

Congratulations to Chris Brewer on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of September! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym.




If you ever happen to see Chris around the gym without a smile on his face, give it about 10 seconds.  Chris has come as far as anyone we have ever coached since the first day he set foot in CSC (he never lifted a weight before), and he has done it all with as much enjoyment as anyone we have ever seen.  He is one of our hardest workers and biggest cheerleaders for his teammates.  Congrats Chris!
 

How long have you been doing CrossFit?
One year and six months.

What do you do when you are not at CSC?

I’m an accountant for Tri-C and when I’m not there, I’m usually eating Mitchell’s Ice Cream. When I’m not eating Mitchell’s, I’m hanging out at home with my fiancĂ© (now husband) and our little animal family.

When did you realize CrossFit was for you?
When I had to use my emergency inhaler after my first on-ramp WOD consisting of air squats, burpees, and push-ups. I knew I needed more of that in my life.

What is your favorite WOD/movement?
A tie between Toes to Bar, Box Jumps, and Pull-ups.

What is your LEAST favorite WOD/movement?
Thrusters… ugh.

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

CrossFit competitions. A year and six months ago I had never touched a barbell in my life and now I enjoy spending the occasional Saturday competing.

What motivates you during a WOD?

When “My Boo” comes on the radio, or when my boo JB shares his “positive” words of motivation mid-workout.

What advice would you give someone just starting CrossFit?
Get to know the people you’re working out with. One of the best parts of CrossFit is the supportive community that a box offers, and CSC has an extremely friendly and awesome group of individuals.

Making Breakfast Easy

If you're anything like me, breakfast is an important start to your day, and a considerable amount of fuel. Making a solid morning meal has become a priority over the past couple years, but often requires a decent amount of cooking. I'm okay with cooking each morning and have become pretty efficient with the routine, but wish I could be a little more efficient on time. If the same thoughts go through your head, this post is for you. Below are 5 easy prep breakfast recipes that can either be made ahead of time or require very little work the morning of.
