COUPLE OF NOTES

HELLLLOOOOO -

OK, so few things:

Paleo Challenge (new one) will start Monday the 5th of October - we will again run it for 90 days, change a few things up this time but still an awesome way to kick start the body and getting the most out of your health, your workouts, and fitness.

Dodgeball this weekend - contact me ASAP to let me know who is in. This will be so much fun!!!! We need at least 6, plus we need a few subs (Evan and I have to leave at about 5 for Susanville).

New blog content starting in October - it will be a surprise everyday for the WOD. I will post the days workout at the end of the day with pictures and the whiteboard showing scores etc. I will be able to acknowledge new PR's etc. easier that way - and taking away the aspect of "cherry picking" your workouts. I know it is so easy to see burpees on the WOD, or running or what move you don't like and decide not to go - well no more. If you don't do the movements you don't like you wont get better (and we don't like them because they are hard, and not our best move) HAHA - allows you to listen to your body, and follow your workout plans rest days, be it 3 on 1 off or 5 and 2, or whatever. Allows me as a coach to ensure that you are coming in and working on the functional movements we need in our life.

Also - we have the CrossFit Running and Endurance Certification coming up in December - click on the link on this page and sign up for an amazing two days that will dramatically help you understand your running, and become a successful runner.

After Tuesday's nice strong Metcon, thought we would follow it up with a nice easy main site WOD...

"Griff"

2 rounds (If you were at 6.7, or 10 - just remember you love me)

800m run forwards
400m run backwards

Last done on 7-9-09

Nice and cool as compared to the last time - we will have new PR's for this one. :-)

Good day to YOU!!!!

We have a beautiful kettlebell workout today. Again Jason and I could not agree - he thinks 3 rounds is enough, I think it should be 5.....

So, we are leaving it up to you!

3 or 5 rounds (we have called this one Sam in the past - so she better be here and do it at 6 not 4:30)

5 windmills (to each side)
10 turkish get-ups (5 to each side)
15 v-twists
20 kettlebell swings

You want a weight that is challenging for all the movements - you may have 2 kettlebells what you can swing may not be what you can do a get-up with.

Monday 28, September 2009

Tabata Something Else:

6am class

Starting next week on Monday the 28th we will add a 6am class to the rotation.

Those of you who still have a few weeks of SST to make up due to schedule conflicts - you can make it up on those days as well.

Wednesday 2, September 2009

Today we are going to work on some strength lifts that compliment one another.

Snatch

3-3-3-3-3

Snatch grip deadlifts

3-3-3-3-3

Start with a few nice easy warm up reps, then start loading your bar up, progressing in weight up until your fifth set which should be very close to failure if not at failure.

We last did Snatch strength on 7-23-09 where we did 7 single reps - snatch grip deads we have not done as a strength building movement, but have had it in a few WOD'S.
