Elbows up!

Now, forget about the strength here (yeah, she’s cut up)…this is about Flexibility. Next time you’re at CF, grab a bar and try to achieve this position.… Continue reading »

Don’t go breakin’ my heart!

This Valentine’s Day, CF hopes you don’t suffer a broken heart, spurned by the one you love. Your dreams of commitment dashed against the rocks of unrequited passion….oh, sorry….

Oh, the controversy!

Doesn’t it make your head spin? No one, and I mean, no one can give you the straight goods on “stretching” (the hows and whens). One of the only solid findings is that stretching before exercise makes no difference in performance and may increase probability of injury (read here for some summaries of why).
