Strength is a Skill

At the TKC/CrossFit Seguin we don't just workout. We build strength, conditioning, and skill. Olympic lifting, KB juggling, Muscle Ups, and Double-unders are very technical. They require time, practice, and instruction. Building skill when lifting will also prevent injury and improve coordination. Our members are constantly learning new skills to improve their strength and workout times.

If you're interested in seeing what CrossFit/TKC is all about join us for a FREE introductory class. The intro class is a instructional class designed to prepare you for group classes. You will learn how to properly use the Kettlebell. Our instructors have years of experience teaching Kettlebell techniques. Our gym is also the only recommended gym in Texas in the "Kettlebells for Dummies" book.

Strength and Conditioning In Seguin

So they say Kettlebell and CrossFit training is great for cardio(and we agree) but it doesn't build strength. Now watch TKC/CrossFit Seguin member Alvino Pull 455# on the Dead Lift at 165# Body Weight. That is definitely strength!

Following The Sheeple

For many of us changing to healthier life style can seem very difficult. While you may be very motivated as you plan out our new healthier life style that motivation will soon diminish as you are bombarded by T.V. commercial after T.V. commercial of fast food and enticing soft drinks. Of course our family, friends, and co workers will be more than happy to offer us some unhealthy alternatives. While all this can be irritating it is still YOUR choice. YOU as an individual have the power to chose.
It takes a strong mind and strong individual to break away from the Sheeple mentality.

At the TKC we advise everyone to read and research on their own about food and diet. Sure, we will always coach our TKC family on proper nutrition but we want them to get use to thinking for themselves! If we get use to just following what others say without question then we will always be one step behind. The CEO of a major corporation will never admit that their products could be bad for you! And why would they?

Whatever you decide to do in your life it it always YOUR choice. You don't have to follow the sheeple.

Warrior Diet Tip of the Week 4

Many of the foods we commonly eat could be holding back progress. Some of the foods and many byproducts of how we store food like plastic bottles for water or milk cause our body to convert these substances into estrogen and store them as fat as a defensive mechanism. He...re is a list of estrogenic foods and herbs that should be avoided.

Estrogenic foods
Foods• Soy products – soy milk, tofu, soy protein, isolate, soy isoflavones supplements• Conventional meats and poultry• Conventional dairy• Pesticide-treated produce• Pork products – meat and lard• Omega 6 oils – canola, mazola, rapeseed, corn, soy• Alfalfa sprouts• Plastic bottled water.
