This week we will be finalising the teams for the United We Stand Games in Durban on 29 October. There is a big list so far with more guys than gals. If we do end up with an odd number of athletes we will be making up teams with the other odd numbers from the other gyms attending. So if you’re on the fence, get off it and join the crew going down!

‘Tabata Something Else’
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Squats

Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.

Score is the total reps from all 32 intervals to comments.

The CrossFit Games now features a growing masters division for athletes aged 45 and older. They perform all of the same movements that the ‘young ones’ do, however the workouts are scaled to their physiological and psychological needs. In CrossFit we believe that the needs of elite athletes and grandparents differ by degree, not by kind. So for the older crew hesitant to push harder or get involved in CrossFit events. . . .get over it because you can do it.
