Crossfit Nittany Interview Report

The regular guy you see in the gym, whose level of fitness doesn’t directly impact his profession, may feel like it is not his place to embark upon a strength training program. However, strength training is just as suited to the person who wants to be able to carry a flowerpot from one end of their garden to the other as it is to the strongman who dreams of breaking the world record for furthest anvil toss. Of course, the strength training program of the former may not be quite as intense as that of the latter, but I think that’s part of the beauty of health and fitness. The gym is full of different people of different levels of fitness, all trying to better themselves at a rate which is comfortable for

I've always been the odd man out on any sports team who looked forward to conditioning at the end of practice and would hold my plank an extra few seconds until I really felt the pain. I loved pushing myself beyond my expected limits and the satisfaction of leaving the gym knowing I gave my full effort. Although the thought of taking a weight lifting class was extremely intimidating, I acknowledged my deep love for training and bettering myself.

Among these strengths, I have some weaknesses and challenges I will need to overcome. Foremost among these is the physical side of the Service Academy lifestyle. I lack upper body strength, and I seldom hold myself to any rigid or intense training regimen. Because of this, I will have to overcome the physical barriers presented by the candidate fitness assessment and daily physical training at an Academy. To prepare myself for this, I have begun working out almost daily at home, focusing on my own personal weaknesses and striving to overcome the challenges they

As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I

I wished to be fit and strong to enhance my performance during training for BJJ tournaments. This was one of the best decisions I've made so far. This class allowed me to learn about the anatomy of the human body and how joints, bones and muscle groups work together to perform a certain movement within body. CPT allows me to work with my own body to sculpted my physical appearance the way I wish it to be. I am not in it for the money or the looks I'm in it to help myself and mostly those who are struggling with self-hate and health issues because of their lack of physical activity. I want to motivate and enlighten people to know how important it is to take care of your

I interviewed Charlie Hart who is an Athletic Trainer at Marvin Ridge High School. This is his third year as an Athletic Trainer at the school, and he also teaches classes during the day there as well. During the interview, I gained lots of helpful insight about the Athletic Training Profession. I first met Charlie Hart because I had a semester internship with him during my senior year of high school. I really enjoyed the internship, and learned a lot about the Athletic Training profession.

To satisfy my curiosity and gain a broad understanding of athletic training, I chose to interview my boss, Pete Stevens. Pete is employed by Physiotherapy Associates, a nationwide corporation that specializes in physical/occupational therapy, athletic training, and fitness/sports training. He has worked there for three years. He is currently the Head

Not knowing what is going to happen is a scary thought. That could go with anything school, your job, or your life in general. The Reebok CrossFit games are all about the unexpected, the unknowable, and with that you have to train for anything and everything. Rich Froning is a four-time consecutive Reebok CrossFit champion, but during the writing of this book he's only talking about his first two, which was in 2011 and 2012. I got enjoyment out of reading this autobiography of Rich Froning’s experience at the Games; because it showed his development before CrossFit, it showed me what mental capability, you have to be at to even make it to the games, and finally I related to it due to my love for the sport.

First I went to Diesel CrossFit which was neat because I have never been to a CrossFit facility. I have never really cared much for CrossFit but it was interesting to observe what went on there and the different type of people who were taking the classes there. Next, I went to observe at Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department which reminded me of Navy command PT except with more structure. Then, I went to Training for Warriors where they have a different style class every day and clients can come in whenever they can that day. Lastly, I went to the Memorial Hospital Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic. There I got to see a lot of patients recovering from some sort of heart operation and those with pulmonary problems.

CrossFit is an intense exercise program that features high-intensity workouts. CrossFit athletes perform dynamic exercises like Olympic lifts and plyometric jumps. This workout program uses non-traditional equipment such as sand-bags, kettlebells, water-filled implements and suspension systems. Participants are challenged to do a certain number of repetitions in a workout in a specific time frame. These workouts are intense and involve very fast movements. Agility, flexibility, balance and power are all important concepts in CrossFit workouts. Due to the intensity and precise movements involved in a CrossFit workout, this type of exercise must be performed on a reliable and stable

When you commit to CrossFit, you will endure many intense workouts, and you will probably be working out multiple times a week. Additionally, you will have to change your eating habits, to see results. This is especially beneficial to students because it will put them on a schedule. College students today find it hard to manage their time. While adding another task to their schedule may seem like a chore, it can actually help them learn to manage their time.

I stop exercising six months ago and realized how much it impacts my day to day performance. When I used to work out I would just go to the gym and follow a strict schedule, doing the same exercises week after week. My schedule was as follows, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I would perform squats, bench presses, and bent over rows. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would do deadlifts, overhead press, dips, and pullups. After a while it gets very boring, and I stopped pushing myself to my limits. One of my friends had been telling me to try CrossFit and initially I was not sure I wanted to get into CrossFit, because all the people I have met that did CrossFit let it take over their lives. It is almost like a cult. On February 2,2018 I did my first WOD at Rocktown CrossFit in Harrisonburg Virginia. A WOD is an acronym for workout of the day. The workouts are usually only thirty minutes long, but we warm up as a group, so every time I go to the gym I am there for
