Last day of September.  But lots of new stuff going on!

Our Ignite Elementary School Challenge is now taking schools for October! It's totally free, gets the kids excited to try Ignite learning, and one school will WIN a visit from Coach Ty!  Get your kid's school on the roster!

Mike's EnduroWod blog goes password-protected tomorrow! If you're not in his endurance group….you won't get the amazing workouts, the chance to post, the training runs, the indoor rides, the knowledge….or the speed.

The NutriNinjas blog stays open to the public eye until December…..soak it up!

Tonight, a big batch of fresh-outta-the-box Barbell Bettys gets their wings at the Park!

Tomorrow, Ty will run a pilot Ignite group of six-year-olds downtown (don't tell them they'll be learning math on a PD Day!) Video will be available next week.  We'll all get to see how this operates! His outline:

5 minutes – warmup

5 minutes – left/right brain coordination and focusing drills

10 minutes – math, CrossFit-style

15 minutes – challenge

5 minutes – cooldown and demonstration of memory.

Ignite primes the brain to learn and remember. It's already working wonders for kids on the ADD/ADHD/Autism spectrum, and research has already demonstrated a 30% increase in school grades in studies in Illinois. It's amazing stuff.  Stay tuned.

Finally…..CrossFit and USA Weightlifting will stream the USAW Open LIVE, for FREE, starting Friday!  This is a landmark change in a sport that hasn't changed its format ONCE since the 1940s.  We'll post more history of the sport of Weightlifting (as opposed to Powerlifting) tomorrow.
