  • * June 9th and 10th – Beaver Creek Resort – The Tough Mudder! *

The competition will be fierce, but with CrossFit as the physical fitness foundation for our team, I’d say we’re a force to be reckoned with. We’ll post more details about the event and who from Modig is on the team as it gets closer, but mark it down on your calendars. Come support the Modig team!

  • CrossFitters Are Crazy!!

    Apparently the word on the street is that Crossfitters are crazy and you can get hurt doing Crossfit. The answer is maybe a little and there is risk in any endeavor. Let me explain a couple of things and hopefully I can help you to understand what Crossfit is about, not the stigma that seems to be attatched to it. Crossfitters are not crazy. They are hard working, dedicated and like to live on the edge a little. They are everyday people. Mothers and kids, doctors and dentists, police officers and nurses. They are you and they are people that… more

  • CrossFit Games 2013?

    It’s probably safe to say that if you’re a CrossFitter in Colorado or the surrounding states, unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve been one of those people talking about the 2012 CrossFit Games Southwest Regionals this weekend. And for good reason too. The growing popularity of CrossFit was no doubt evident at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Event Center. With standing room only, and 5 people deep at that for many of the heats, people came from all over to watch some of our region’s, and the country’s, best CrossFit athletes compete for their right to make it to the… more

  • It’s All About Mobility, People

    Just a reminder that we will continue to focus on the importance of mobility here at CrossFit Modig and its ability to reduce the propensity for injury and nagging aches and pains. We’ve talked a lot about MobilityWOD.com and Kelly Starrett – today’s post talks about ‘range of motion.’  Don’t forget to get out and buy 3 lacrosse balls and athletic tape, people… ******************************************************************************************************************* How Much ROM Do You Need, Really? Hey Mwodies, Today’s episode is a little homage to misplaced precision.  The question is, how much range of motion should you have?  Well it turns out this is a… more

  • Eating Clean – How Are You Doing?

    It’s been a few months since our 30 day eat clean challenge ended. How are you doing? Have you been able to find the balance that works best for you? We emphasize the paleo lifestyle in CrossFit because it’s a natural fit, but it’s also important to recognize what works best for you. Many CrossFitters stick to a strict paleo regime, but others find the 80/20 balance. This means that 80% of the time you are eating paleo and the other 20% you are not. The goal is to find the balance where you’re able to maintain your weight and continue to… more

  • FORM CORRECTION – The Pushup

    Happy Monday Modig. Hope everyone enjoyed a few days off…and if you had the chance to do Thursday’s WOD (the Filthy Fifty), there’s a good chance you needed it!  Without question, one of the most important elements to improvement in CrossFit is the ability to perform the exercises correctly. Doing a workout as prescribed is great, but not if your form suffers as a result. Typically you’ll find that much of the movements you utilize in CrossFit serve as the baseline for others…the deadlift is a perfect example, as is the pushup. The following is a recent post by Kelly… more
