Dream big

Sara's T offered some great inspiration to Saturday's group class. 

No matter how bizarre, stupid, misguided or insane our dreams are,

 use them to dream big and keep reaching for the stars!

Just a reminder that there will be two classes offered Monday, September 1st.  

9:00 am and 10:00 am only.  

Enjoy the break from all your labors!

Workout was:

Partner workout

medicine ball passes around the block

100 - ring push-ups

100 - ball slams

8x - bear crawl

8x - heavy overhead med ball carry

100 - jumping pull-ups

row 1000 meters

Divide the work equally between partners.  Only one person can work at a time.

Get some air

Thursday in class we focused on skills and didn't do anything for time.  Once a week we like to slow it down, work on technique and get a good amount of volume and strength in without the frenzied pace of a timed workout.

Set A

5 kb high pulls or snatches

5 get up sit ups

broad jump

rest 1 minute between sets

Set B

15 double kb swings

10 knees to elbows or ankles to bar

2 line drills

rest 1 minute between sets

Battling the rope

We unveiled a new exercise in group class today, the battling rope.  The idea is to swing the ropes up and down creating waves in the rope.  Everyone has been having a great time flinging them around.  The ropes can help develop grip strength, improve the ability to create and sustain power and increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity.
