Also, sign-up to workout on Thursday Night Lights. The sheet is on the front desk. It’s a great chance to workout at night in a high energy environment. Challenge a friend if you want to make it fun. It’s all in the spirit of the games!
Our final total for the 24 hour event was $1,945 raised! This weekend the 48 hour dance marathon is also going on, and our total will go to that total raised. Thank you all who participated and donated to such a great cause (www.thon.org and www.fourdiamonds.org)
As we roll into Open season, our programming will shift a bit to allow us to best perform on those workouts on Friday. You’ll notice our weeks will look like this a bit:
- Monday – Training, and a chance to re-test The Open workout from previous week
- Tuesday – Training
- Wednesday – Training, but a little lighter than Monday and Tuesday
- Thursday – active recovery
- Friday – Game Day!
- Saturday – Skill refinement in a team atmosphere
- Sunday – Still an endurance focused day
Also, as a coaching team, we have discussed and are going to lead into more traditional CrossFit programming in the near future. What that means is using the programming from CrossFit.com, which has a proven track record of 10 years. This will be a great assessment of where we are at, a true return to CrossFit essentials, and provide us as coaches areas to focus on for you as we move through the year. We’ll then have a test week of some basic lifts and benchmarks to again assess each of you as athletes, and where we can shift our programming focus within that the for the betterment of the box. Some of the weights will be challenging, the movements may seem out of your reach (handstand walks for example for me), but we’ll provide scaling options, learning opportunities, and progressions to create a desired stimulus for each of you. I’m very excited about it, and I think you’ll all like the challenge and constantly varied aspects of it.
