Hi CFers:
Corps Fitness and Flash Conditioning are holding Kettlebell Speed Camps in late March for athletes ages 14-18.

If you know any teens in your neighborhood (or otherwise), please pick up a flyer (or two) at the front desk.

Or if said teen uses the internet (with parental permission), please direct them to this link:

Also, there is video footage of the facility at www.flashconditioning.com for any athletes (or parents) who want to know what the place looks like.

Thanks.

What is "TABATA"???

With the inclusion of CrossFit into our programs, we've been exposed to many new things...one of them being Tabata. What does it mean and why is it great? Tabata provides short powerful bursts and requires maximum effort and requires little time. For those who've been exposed to this regimen will agree it is a challenging workout.
Take a look at the Article about Tabata and how it can help you when your time is limited.

2/23 Nutritional Seminar



Saturday morning welcomed Sherry Russell, certified dietician and friend, to speak about the importance of pre and post workout nutrition and hydration. Due to the intensity of what we do at Corps Fitness, taking care of yourself before and after a workout is critical to your performance. We all would like to thank Sherry for her time and insight!
