The Revolution Has Begun
The Riverdale Strength & Fitness Club is a community of individuals who share the common goal of becoming stronger and fitter day by day.
We are not a health club and we are not a social club. Our workouts aren't fashion shows in a big room full of spandex, expensive machines, televisions, mirrors and cold stares. In our world, everyone knows your name, and every day you are given a personal invitation to take another step closer to maximizing your human potential. We are located anywhere there is a challenge to be found. Where we train is of no consequence, how we train is.
Our goal is achieving true fitness, not the appearance of fitness. What good are those pretty "beach muscles" if you don't have the basic physical skills to save your own life or the life of a loved one if need be? Inspired by the CrossFit methodology of constantly varied functional exercises executed at high intensity, our program is guaranteed to spark changes within yourself that you may have never imagined were possible.
Olympic bars, gymnastics rings, kettlebells, medicine balls, pull-up bars, sandbags, stones, logs, kegs, tires, axles, yokes, jump ropes, climbing ropes and the four limbs attached to your body are the tools of our trade. You are the only machine you need.
We lift heavy and move fast, correctly. We measure progress through improvements in physical performance, not by numbers on a scale. We eliminate distractions, foster motivation, and continuously move forward...never backward. We fuse strength training and cardiovascular conditioning in as many combinations as logically possible. We work hard. We play hard. We will make you better and more efficient human being in every way, shape, and form.
All you have to do is make a choice...
Join us or step aside.
We believe that fitness is a state of mind and a way of being. It is the physical manifestation of confidence, courage, dedication, discipline, faith, integrity, strength, power, pride, and responsibility. The body is a tool for greater purpose, and training is the means to an increase in the quality of life through movement. Our main objective is to strengthen the spirit and sharpen the mind through pushing the limits of the body.

I just want to verify that I'm doing this right - this should result in 300 double unders and 300 situps total, right? 50 each, 40 each...10 each, back up to the top with 50 each again?
Thanks.
David
That is correct David. Basically you're doing "Annie" twice. =)
Interesting that on the "What it Takes" article she says it doesn't take 1 month or 2 to put on weight, so don't expect it to come off in a short time.
Hmmmmm, I think it's well known that it's so much EASIER to pack on the pounds than it is to take it off; and YES you can pack on quite a few pounds in a month or two if your eating habits are extremely poor. Reference "Supersize Me".
Now if it's just a matter of a slow weight gain, like 2 to 4 pounds a year then in 10 years you are 20 to 40 pounds overweight, then I can understand her logic.
Andrea, but how many people actually go to that extreme and do what that guy did in the movie? Not very many. Most people gain weight over an extended period of time.
True Will,
But aside from eating McDonalds, every single day. If a person eats "out" all the time it is possible. Also a good majority of people that go on cruises usually come back a few pounds heavier in a matter of 7 days because they take advantage of the all you can eat buffets. It CAN happen. (Side Note: If you go on a cruise ship and eat in their elegant dining resturants where they serve 5 course meals, weight gain will NOT happen because their portions are appropriate and of course if you keep up your exercise regime during the cruise, weight gain will NOT happen)
What I'm saying Will, is that it's easy to gain 5 to 6 pounds in a month, than it is to lose 5 to 6 month.
Not if your metabolism is on point and you remain active (you won't gain the weight period!)... The period where things like that occur are generally prior to the time you make your lifestyle change. Perfect example, you've been on vacatation...but when's the last time you gained 5lbs in a month?
I can (and have) put on five pounds in two weeks, not once but on several occasions. This was while I was on a regular exercise program. After the age of 40 or so, it's real easy to do this and I have friends of similar age who've experienced the same thing. As for younger people, I agree with Will. It's difficult because of the metabolism.
