Kari Pearce, Samantha Grace, Different Fem Sports, Both Love CrossFit

There’s wonderful news.

Women participating in CrossFit is here to stay and the nicest part about it is that they are coming from all kinds of female sports disciplines.

Let’s meet two girls who have roots in gymnastics. One is very familiar to our female grappling world. The other is most likely new to us.

KARI PEARCE

Kari is really making her move in the CrossFit world and there is a very healthy buzz about her.

At excellesports.com when speaking about women to watch, regarding our new star they express, “Pearce was a collegiate athlete at Michigan for gymnastics, so you can be sure that her bodyweight movements are on point. She’s been to the Games before, and after a strong performance at the East Regional, she’s definitely one to keep your eye on.”

Kari has posted a number of her videos online and if you want to get a feel for her personality, while it’s still up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6wKgBzybW8

Now let’s meet her up close as she shares her bio with us at her Social Media page.

“I was a gymnast for 18 years and finished my career at the University of Michigan on the varsity gymnastics team. Upon finishing gymnastics, I found my love for health and fitness. A friend suggested personal training and I have not looked back since. I love what I do and really enjoy changing people’s lives for the better. Working out is a big part of my life and it should be a part of everyone’s. It helps you look better, feel better, and live healthier! Who wouldn’t want that?

I worked with a variety of Olympic sport athletes, including baseball, softball, gymnastics, and field hockey on their strength and conditioning programs. Each was tailored to the individual athlete for their sport and position. I helped them with correct form as well as program design and evaluation.

I taught young girls the sport of gymnastics in a positive environment. I helped to motivate them and promote respect among participants.”

Nice to meet you Kari!

SAMANTHA GRACE

Samantha is very familiar to us.

She has been grappling for years and her matches can be found at http://grapplingstars.com/

Here’s her article. Samantha Grace – A Wrestler Who Gives More Than Expected

Always friendly and a sexy dignified session host Samantha smiles, “My athletic  background:

I follow a strict O Lifting schedule of 3 days a week and I can lift and carry up to about 180 lbs. I do a weekly gymnastics but I also, add gymnastics to my regular CrossFit style work outs. Which often have elements of lifting as well. I do a gymnastics work out about twice a week and three CrossFit work outs a week. I often to more than one work out in a day. This is very important to me.

My professional wrestling background:

I’ve done a lot of model work however, I have always been an athlete first. I believe my athletic body made my modeling career possible.  My first scissor video was with scissor vixens in 2005. I loved working with them so much, dominating guys and squeezing them with my strong legs. I soon found myself working with grappling girls and bouttimewrestling, only a month after scissor vixens. I was hooked after my first shoot and started dominating boys in wrestling/ boxing sessions just a week after my first video went up!  I have worked with Sleeperkidsworld, Prostylefantansies, and Academy Wrestling; just to name a few companies I have worked with.

Sessions:

I am based out of the Westside of Los Angeles. I rent a ring in Canoga Park for more physical wrestling sessions. I prefer a ring for my and your safety. I also have a private play space out of Reseda. Both my ring and play space are very safe and discrete locations.”

As you can see, the world of female sports is emerging and converging.

8 Awesome CrossFit Workouts for Women to Keep Fit and Get Fit

By Chun H Jia

CrossFit is a popular type of fitness and workout strategy that includes several types of exercises such as weight lifting, running and jogging, calisthenics, gymnastics, ball training, and others. It is distinct from other exercise routines in a way that it is performed at a very high intensity within a limited amount of time.

CrossFit workouts are generally intended to improve and develop strength and conditioning. It is an ideal routine for women since it allows the enhancement of a wide variety of physical skills such as endurance, stamina, speed, balance, strength, and flexibility.

Since the focal point of CrossFit workouts is functional body movement, it is the perfect choice for women who are involved in physical activities and those who are always on the go.

With this strategy, you are met with everyday workout challenges that continually changes. The result would be that you’re likely to reach your highest fitness level in no time. Let’s have a look at eight CrossFit workouts for women to keep fit.

1. Combination of dead lift, squat, and push press

The initial stage of a CrossFit workout is the practicing the basics of squatting, push press, and dead lifts. A woman should be able to feel things out first before starting some heavy routines later. This can be done in a week.

2. Light and moderate weight for the early stages

The purpose of lifting weights is to develop strength as well as determine a good technique for the entire duration of the workouts. Remember a woman’s objective in CrossFit workouts is to be fit, not hurt herself.

3. Cindy workouts

Cindy is a routine composed of a combination of pull ups, pushups, and squats. Repeat a pattern of 10 pushups, 5 pull ups, and 15 squats in a 15-20 minute span. As one can see, everything starts with a light training and progress will be seen in no time.

4. Dead lift to fast run

The next ideal CrossFit for women is a pair of dead lift and running. What you need to do is perform five sets of dead lift. Each set must be with five repetitions as well. After that, you run 1.5-2.0 miles and record the duration of the entire routine.

5. Double under + sit-ups

Double under is an exercise done with the help of a jumping rope. What you do is jump with good enough elevation to enable the rope to go and pass under your feet twice. This can be pretty tough for women but it sure does develop reflexes. Combine this exercise with sit-ups right after.

6. Fast run coupled with pull-ups

Perform a repetitive routine of pull-ups (the maximum you can perform simultaneously) and then be able to run not more than 500 meters right after. Repeat and then determine if there is an increase or decrease in the number of pull-ups you can do right after every run.

7. Thrusters and pull-ups

The key in this routine is repetition. Start with similar number of thrusters and pull ups. For instance, begin with 20 and 20, and then repeat with lesser, say 15 and 15 and so on.

8. Burpee

Burpee is a term referring to a type of pushup that incorporates elevation or a jump. This is quite a tough routine for a woman but it can enhance endurance and the cardiovascular strength in general.

Remember that CrossFit workouts are performed in order to enhance the entirely of your body system. It is not limited to a certain area life developing large biceps or six-pack abs. This strategy is perfect for women who want to be fit and needs to be fit. And finally, they’re not as tough as they seem to be.
