This past weekend I was one of 54 crossfit enthusiasts to participate in the Level 1 Crossfit certification seminar held at the Oakland Fire Tower. The seminar was lead by Crossfit CEO and founder Greg Glassman, Nicole Carol and Dave Castro with the assistance of Northern California Crossfit Trainers Jolie Gentry, Robb Wolf, Rob MIller, Adrien Bozman and or very own Nicole Okumo and Mike MInium. The crew did an OUTSTANDING job of leading us in this seminar, I couldn't have asked for better instructors. Instead of rabbling on and on about the seminar, I'll break it down like this:

The Good:

*A great opportunity to meet/interact with the larger Crossfit Community.
*It provided me with the knowledge and tools that are essential for safe, effecient CF training.
*Learned the correct technique and form used to perform the nine fundamental movements that are at the core of CF workouts and in all functional movements in life.
*Exposed me to a new definition of fitness.

The Bad:

-Lack of instruction on coaching.
-Not enough emphasis on nutrition.
-Not enough lecture on programing.
-Not enough time for questions at the end of the nutrition and programing lectures.

The Ugly:
The look on my face during Fight Gone Bad.
