***********************************************************************************************

I was browsing through the January posts the other day, and at the time, Andy and I were both injured (I had a torn bicep; he had broken ribs). We decided to make a series of videos on injury prevention. Who better to talk about preventing injuries than the two people who get hurt most often?? :)

Despite the fact that I can’t help but crack up when Andy is around because he is so funny, the videos have some good information on injury prevention, warm-up, stretching, etc. I thought I’d repost them today….read through the blog posts, and post your thoughts and questions to comments.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll see:

Day 1: WARM UP

Day 2: Breathing

Day 3: Stretching
(Be sure to watch the Platt kids in action in the background – this video is pretty funny because Andy and I had no idea what was happening behind us….)

Day 4: How to pick the correct weight to use in a WOD

Day 5: Common CF injuries and how to prevent them

What new videos would you like to see? Post thoughts to comments.

    CF7 — I have a nice L Couch and Ottoman + a Computer Desk and chair that I need to get rid of before I leave to go back to Chicago.

    The couch/ottoman and desk were purchased 1 year ago new, they’ve had use by me only, and are in great condition. If anyone is interested, or knows anyone interested in these things, please let me know, they can get a great deal! We can make a WOD out of it bringing them out of my apartment.

    Thanks for the help in advance :)
