It makes me very happy that we can still connect in these strange new times.
WORKOUT for Saturday 3/21/2020
Tune into INSTAGRAM LIVE at 10am to watch Lauren and Nathan’s high intensity interval training class!

Endurance Track
5 sets: EASY PACE: 800m run/1000m row or ski/2km bike FAST PACE: 300m run/400m row or ski/.8km bike 3:00 rest
Today is about building better capacity around 20+ minutes of effort (think 5k time trial). You’ll choose your modality (run, row, ski, or bike) and have two different paces: easy and fast.
Begin with your easy pace that rolls into your fast pace. Record the time to completion, rest 3:00 then repeat for a total of 5 rounds.
You should be timing both of these efforts to see if they stay consistent or become faster as you go. Do not allow yourself to get slower in any of the efforts.
tabata intervals (:20 of work, :10 of rest, repeated for 8 rounds) – close-grip pushups – Cossack squats – v-ups – weighted lunges
Rest 1:00 between exercises. You can increase difficulty by upping it from 8 rounds to 12 rounds. Just go for max reps each and every round. Share total reps completed per exercise to comments!
One of the many ways gyms are adapting in these strange, strange times are by becoming virtual.
We had a great turnout for our Instagram and Facebook LIVE workout session at noon, and then again for our Wine Down Wednesday Mobility & Community Hour

Share score to comments. Post-workout will be washing your hands then 1:00/position of Hips of Glory + Pigeon Stretch + Seated Shoulder Extension.

What you’ll need in your kitchen: – a stove – a pan, preferably non-stick – spatula – bowl – fork or whisk
This will be streamed on Instagram Live, but in the future we’ll be using Zoom (so download that if you haven’t already!)
On Sunday night we were notified that Governor Inslee issued a mandate that we, as a fitness facility, had to cease operations as we knew it until March 31st.

Let’s be honest about the current state of affairs.
The coronavirus COVID-19 is real and will be in the news for a long time coming. Understanding this, we are doing our best to mitigate risks, and we are very aware of the necessary escalations that the state of Washington is implementing. We don’t expect anything extreme enough to happen to force us to close, but here’s our plan to maintain the health and wellness of our community:
What We Are Doing
We’ve refreshed all spray bottles with a Clorox Bleach solution to disinfect your equipment and things you’ve touched while you’re here. Our coaches and staff are also putting in extra duty to disinfect the gym during our non-class hours. If you have an allergy please be mindful of this. Once we are able to procure non-bleach disinfectants, we will make that switch.
Programming has been adjusted to limit how many pieces of equipment required for a workout. We’re able to limit transmission by reducing the amount of things you’re touching in your workouts. Don’t worry, we’re also making sure that it’s still fun and useful and stimulating.
We have more contingencies planned if this all gets worse, but our ultimate goal is to keep our membership safe while allowing them a place to maintain their health and fitness.
What You Can Do
WASH YOUR HANDS before and after your session here.
Wipe and disinfect every surface you use in the gym.
Do not come to the gym if you care for those who are most at-risk, including those older than 60+ years of age
Alternatives
I’ve made an workout BINGO sheet you can do at home our outside (because FCF loves bingo!) that will be up on the blog tomorrow (or in the gym on paper on Saturday).
Every :90 perform a lift successfully then add 1-5kg. – Start with an empty barbell and snatch for as long as possible. – Once you cannot snatch the weight, clean for as long as possible. – Once you cannot clean the weight, deadlift for as long as possible.
3-miss limit on each lift. Share heaviest load for the snatch, clean and deadlift to whiteboard.
