CrossFit Next Level Performance Invitational10-Apr-2010
The Next Level Invitational will be held at El Toro High School. Address: 25255 To..
Home
Next Level Performance is located in Lake Forest, CA. We use many of the CrossFit philosophies to develop true fitness. We are an athletic development and conditioning facility training anyone searching for more out of their fitness program. We use kettlebells, olympic lifting, running, dumbbells, rowing and bodyweight movements to help develop your athletic potential and give you results. Our workouts are constantly varied, involving functional movements and executed at a high intensity. The result is a stimulus that is broad, general, and inclusive. We seek to create universal athletes capable of performing many tasks well. One of our baseline principles is that routines are our enemy and machines are for assembly lines.
Our functional movements are truly just that....functional. The basic movement you do or should do on a daily basis are incorporated in the program. They involve multi-joint and multi-muscle which create a neuro-endocrine response. This response enhances the benefits of the training. Each movement is safe, effective, and they radiate from core to extremity. Once our athletes can perform each movement safely, then and only then are they ready for the high intensity.
What does high intensity mean to you?
Every one's intensity will differ depending on fitness level and goals desired. Generally,we define intensity as being are able to move large objects, over long distances, and quickly. Intensity is Power. (I= Power= Force x Distance/ Time)
Our method of training creates results that are measurable, observable, and repeatable. We strive to always improve our program based on the feedback and results it creates. We are an evidence based fitness program that is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed.
Welcome!

Check out the Forging Elite Mindsets Blog. Rachael gives your some more jewels for your mental training program. Your mind is your most powerful muscle and if you do not train it properly it will not develop to it's full potential. When you put negative thoughts into your mind during the workout it is similiar to not doing the full range of motion. Your mental strength is tested every workout and it is during these moments where you either push harder or you give in. We all have to push harder. You will be surprised by the results that come from mental focus and toughness.

Handstands are a skill that need to be practiced everyday. The act of inverting your body is very unfamiliar for most people. Many people wonder why we do handstands and handstand pushups in CrossFit. They are a great way to make you focus on body position & alignment, wrist flexibility & strength and core strength. be sure to work on them. Especially anyone who is thinking about competing in CrossFit. This movement will either make or break your competition.

When to eat, what to eat, why does my poop look like that? These are all questions you should know the answers to. To help educate ourselves we will be showing a series of videos on Nutrition at the gym. We will start next Thursday March 18th @ 7:30pm. We just got dunked and if you entered the paleo challenge or if performance gains are important to you then you need to be educated. Just because you think you know how and what to eat does not mean the lessons stops there. We need to understand the dynamics of how the body processes, uses and eliminates the food you consume. This is Free of charge but full of vital information. Attend if you want RESULTS!!!!

"Today is another great opportunity to train hard and have control over the results. Many of us love the idea of working out hard but when we see a "hard" or "challenging" workout we get intimidated. Why not welcome the opportunity and use this as a chance to push yourself past your perceived limitations." -L
