What is a baby boomer?

People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

20090402 – Did some rowing today

Had a good nights sleep and headed for 6A Crossfit in light snow, temp 17 Degrees.

Tomas, Matt, Angie, Terrie with Brian and Jerry coaching.

Terrie had been with us several months ago and is now back.

Having two Terry’s in class created the expected amount of confusion but we coped with it.

I have adopted a new strategy for the 3000 KB Clean Challenge. I just keep doing them all through class. I got 150 done before class and as we transitioned from one activity to another I tried to get in another 30, 40 or 50. That kept me moving for much more of the hour and I was able to get a total of 250 done. This strategy is going to be the key to success and make better use of my time.

Today Jerry called me on my hip pop so I am paying more attention to that and working to make sure I don’t slip into doing curls but use good clean technique. Thanks Jerry for your relentless attention to my technique.

For our skill today we worked on rowing. I was really surprised when Brian could not come up with much to correct on my technique. Maybe all the other sessions have finally sunk in.

Today’s workout was exhausting. As usual, I did box steps rather than box jumps.

Because Team Two had only two members what ever score was earned for box or push (depending upon which was done) was applied to the other movement. For example, if 50 Box Jumps were done the team was given credit for 50 Push Ups for that round.

This was kind of complicated by having uneven teams but bottom line, everyone kept moving hard for almost 9 minutes.

Received this ad in my email from http://www.kettlebellinc.com . Although Berry is not my color this is a good example of how Kettlebells are going mainstream and no longer something hidden in the back of the gym. I am not taking shots at these Kettlebells. If painting them Berry gets people to use them then I am all for it.
