I finally took the plunge and spent the cash to get my CrossFit Level 1 Certification. I’ve been on the fence about the decision for a while, mainly because I had no idea as to what I would do with the certification once I got it.

So it's been a hectic last few weeks and I'm trying to get back to normal. Because life has been so busy I'm trying a new offline blogging program to make my life hopefully easier.

Mars Edit, a MAC based offline editor is the one I'm using for this post. I'm still on the fence whether or not I'll drop the cash to purchase it outright after my 30 day trial is over, only time will tell.

I’ve been waiting for the right moment to write about one of the coolest pieces of equipment I’ve come across in a while. Since the Open is near completion, and the Regional’s are right around the corner, I felt this was the perfect time. Like a medieval piece of torture equipment, re-designed for the modern era, The Flipper by Milo Fitness is designed to make any WOD a grueling test of you or your teams true fitness level.

The Flipper made quite a splash during the 2013 FTF Affiliate Challenge. With its unique design, varied functionality, and solid construction, it gathered a lot of interest as it sat there on the convention floor waiting for it’s chance to shine, and shine it did.  Teams, most who had never laid eyes on The Flipper prior to the comp, were in for a real treat.
