Friday at the movies…
Posted on May 15th, 2009 by Jamee
I originally published this post last August… just some real life demos on how CrossFit prepares you for life and is used in other venues.
Parkour (aka PK) or l’art du déplacement (the art of movement) is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.
Founded by David Belle in 1988 in France, parkour focuses on practicing efficient movements to develop one’s body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles in an emergency. source: Wikipedia
American Parkour is the hub that connects the many parkour communitites across America into one. APK recommends CrossFit. Look under their fitness tab for their WODs.

I wasn’t going to post anything regarding the Virus outbreak as I feel we are all adults and know what to do and how not to spread flu — stay home until you feel better and most importantly wash your hands thoroughly. However, since I saw the post of CrossFit Unlimited’s site, I thought I would point to it for some further reminders.

Functional Movements
I’m sure you have heard this term before, but really what does it mean?!?!?! Just merely working out is not considered “Functional”. Think about the movements you do on a daily basis; picking up something from the floor SAFELY, “The Deadlift”! How about from the floor to the overhead position Clean & Jerk or Press?!?!? These are functional movements. They apply to our everyday lives and help us overall to become stronger. A bicep curl on the other hand, may give the appearance that it is doing something, when in fact it is only isolating that muscle.
Think Functional Movements!

Staying Hydrated
To minimize the debilitating effects of dehydration during exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends a series of steps. Staying hydrated during long bike rides, hikes and weight training workouts is crucial to higher peak performance and continued health. Below are some of their recommendations:
- Drink fluid early. Take in 16oz. of fluid 2 hours before you exercise.
- Drink fluid often. Take in about 5 to 8 oz. every 15 - 20 minutes; this gives your body a chance to absorb a constant flow of liquid.
- Keep water and any sports drinks (containing carbohydrates and electrolytes) within the 60 to 70 degree range for easier absorption.
- Drink after working out to compensate for the fluid your body losses during exercise.
TIPS & WARNINGS
- Try to drink liquids before you feel thirsty (at which point your body is about 2% dehydrated). For peak muscle performance and greater energy in your workouts, drink early and often.
- Drink enough liquid to replace the weight your body loses during a workout.
- As a general guideline, dink about 1 quart or liter per hour during warm-to-hot days.
