Tuesday 3/30

Congrats to Aimee for hitting the 1750 level of WODclub!

Every single workout written in her journal, too!

IN-GYM WORKOUT for Tuesday 3/30/2021

WARMUP

EMOM x 15
8-12 calorie row
5-8 dips (or bar muscle-up into your straight-bar dips)
8-12 kettlebell swings, any style
5-8 wall walks
8-12 pogo burpees

Adjust your numbers as needed and make sure you get some rest before rotating.

METCON

10 rounds for time:
10/15/20 calorie sprint
1:00 rest
7 power jerks, 35/55/75kg
1:00 rest

Today’s workout should allow you the opportunity for FULL-OUT SPRINTS each time. The first element would be on a machine like the rower or an air bike (I’d prefer the bike, but we only have three available) where you can go full send without worrying about technique. The second element requires strength and coordination with a barbell (or dumbbells), which should also be heavy but doable. You’d be reaching to finish the set without breaking. With all of the rests programmed in here this should take about 30 minutes.

Post the time for each round to your journal. Fastest time to the whiteboard!

Tasty Thursday

I was fortunate enough to receive this email from one of our own long-tenured athlete Sandi Pants:

Hi,

Going back to old times with a recipe exchange!  As the world is social distancing right now, many of us are experimenting in our kitchens to help pass the time.  So you have been invited to be a part of a Quarantine Cooking recipe exchange!  Yay!

Please send a recipe to the person whose name is in position #1 (even if you don’t know them) and it should be something quick, easy and without rare ingredients.  Actually, the best one is the one you know in your head and can type right now.  Don’t agonize over it… It is the recipe you make when you are short on time.

After you’ve sent your recipe to the person in position #1 below (and only to that person), copy this email into a new email, move my name to the top and put your name in position #2.  Only my and your name should show when you send your email. Send to 20 friends via BCC.

If you cannot do this within 5 days, let me know so it will be fair to those participating.  You should receive 36 recipes.  It’s fun to see where they come from!  Seldom does anyone drop out because we all need new ideas.  The turnaround is fast, as there are only 2 names on the list and you only have to do this once.

In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy, and STAY HOME.

Happy QuarantineCooking!

Hopefully it’ll get to YOU soon, but since I’m now part of that chain I need people to send this to so COMMENT down below and I’ll get you added to my recipe list!

Cardiovascular Endurance

Devin and Zheng at the 2019 Cascade Classic

Fitness, in the CrossFit philosophy, was always meant to challenge all physical skills:

cardiovascular endurance
strength
stamina
flexibility
power
speed
accuracy
agility
balance
coordination

Most seasoned CrossFitters tend to fall into only wanting to develop or play with strength, stamina, and power. This means your cardiovascular endurance isn’t challenged as often, leading to complaints about how bad your endurance is. Training is tolerance building! Show up and do the workouts you don’t want to do.

Like today.
