I’m a big fan of minimalist approaches to fitness. Check out this video of "The Patch", an awesome tool for functional and athletic training. Many of the exercises performed here can be mimicked in a playground whenever you find yourself gym-less or in the mood for some fresh air and free movement.

1. Our beginners program just filled up! Coaches Allison, Jacinto and myself are very excited to take our new athletes through CrossFit South Brooklyn’s first Foundations Class. Please introduce yourself to your new teammates on Sunday morning.
2. Check out this article by Jon from AgainFaster (our primary equipment provider) about his experience with the POSE running method. Coach Allison was at the Cert as well and will be doing some Pose work with us in the near future. As it gets nicer out we will be taking some field trips to Prospect Park and the Red Hook fields for some outdoor CrossFitting.
3. Just in case anyone didn’t get the email last month, please send me a list of 1-2 songs which you enjoy working out to and I will add them to the WOD play list. Songs do not have to be Work/Family Safe however practice common sense when making your selections.
4. Our next addition will be another Saturday Group class. Please email me what times would be ideal for you to train and we will work around popular demand. (and the lyceum schedule) The new class will be added in 6-8 weeks. While it’s a little trickier to get more Sunday classes at the Lyceum, we’ll do our best to add a second group class on Sundays as well.
Can you find Coach Allison in the background??
