My name is Kathy Childress and I am part owner of CrossFit Maximus in Lexington, KY. CrossFit is a method of training where we move as heavy a weight we can as fast as we can. There are days where we have workouts that are 5 minutes long and sometimes it takes an hour long depending on your fitness level. It’s kind of the wave of the future. You constantly hear buzz about functional fitness and integral training; well CrossFit has meshed all of that together and have put together these workouts which we call WODs.(Workout of the Day) Each member comes into the gym with pre-planned programs ready for them at the beginning of the day. They don’t have to think about what they have to do that day or what muscle work they need to train, you work every muscle group on your body everyday at the gym.

It’s actually addicting and they enjoy it because they can get in and out quickly so there is not a whole lot of waisted time. There’s no mirrors, neon or any of the flashy gimmicks to distract you from your workout. You go in, you work and you go home.

The beauty of CrossFit even though it might seem a little intimidating is the fact that it can be tailored to fit everybody’s needs. If you do have knee issues and back issues, the workouts can be scaled to fit your personal needs. We write out the workouts for you, which we call prescriptions, in order to perscribe modifications and alternatives to exercises that might not fit for someone that might have a back injury, a bad back or other types of injuries. If we do something that day which for example requires a lot of back work, then we are able to give each individual something else to do that can fit into their activities.

We’ve had people loosing anywhere from 5 pounds to 65 pounds from the time that we’ve been open. We have several clients that have had great success. On top of that, not just the weight loss, we have so many people that start out on medications such as high blood pressure medications and because of the interval training with high intensity, the scientific facts kick in and people are coming off their medications, they feel better, their daily activities are getting easier and getting stronger. Everything is functional so, for women getting groceries out of the car, picking up your kids on a daily basis; we mimic those important daily activities in the gym.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog!  My name is Dr. Jenny Miller, DMD.   I am a Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentist.  When I’m not participating in life changing dentistry, I devotes most of my time to my children, Layne, Emily and Evan. As evidenced from the moment you enter Hamburg Expressions and my home, I love interior design and decorating. I have developed a true love and appreciation for photography which keeps me busy in my free time. I also enjoy kickboxing, volunteering with church youth groups, donating time to the homeless and working on the family small farm.

I made this blog as a way to keep my clients and residents of Kentucky, connected to the ever changing landscape of dentistry.  I hope this becomes a resource to you when you have questions or are looking to get more information.
