Whole Body Conditioning/GPP with kelly D

[WillBrink]

The only place in my gym with that much open space (outside one of the dance/pilates/yoga rooms) is the pool. The weight equipment and treadmills are packed like sardines.

Well, when that Gold's gym moved to this new location, they decided to dedicate that open space and green turf, to allow a lot of training not normally possible, such as what you see, sprints, etc.

That was a smart decision on their part, and other gyms would be smart to emulate it. All the equipment in that vid is owned by me personally however, so I can and will find a place to get 'er done, but the gym having that open space and turf, has helped a lot.

You don't need that kinda of big open space to do most of what I am doing (but yes, it's nice to have access to...), you just need to be creative and think out of the box on it.

It can be done....just sayin'

As they are playing to the Cross-Fit trend we are currently in. Ft. Benning recently remodeled one of their gyms (Audie Murphy) to cater to the Cross-Fit crowd. They converted the basketball court to it.

If Kelly D ever came to Ft. Benning to workout at Audie Murphy Gym at oh lets say around 0600; that gym would be the most popular gym in the whole Army. They would have to raise the FPCON level because the whole post would be there.

I'd say to cater toward the trend in cross training/functional stuff (a good thing in my view), of which CF is a part. I'm all for that general trend, which CF has attempted to stake the lions share of and act as if they invented cross training, but that's another topic that only goes south real fast.

Well, get the crew to put $$$ into the hat and pay our travel costs, and I'll bet you I can talk her into going.
