CONDITIONING for Thursday 9/23/2021

READ: How to Get the Most Out of Your Exercise Time – Vox

New beverage lineup for 2021

We expanded our drink offerings in the gym to cover the needs of our athletes for pre-workout (before), intra-workout (during), and post-workout (after). Most of the beverages we carry can be had at any time of the day- just be mindful if it contains caffeine.

To celebrate the expanded options we’re now selling each can for $3 each! Simply go up to the fridge, sanitize your hands, grab your preferred option, then write your selection down on the charge sheet!

Before we begin discussing these supplements remember that none of these things provide you any benefit whatsoever if you don’t have a good foundation of nutrition based on quality proteins and plants, adequate hydration, and good amount of sleep.

TL

Have you played on one of the slack lines yet?

In the form of fitness that we try to build using the CrossFit methodology, we want to improve on ten general physical skills:

– Strength
– Cardiovascular Endurance
– Flexibility
– Stamina
– Power
– Speed
– Accuracy
– Agility
– Balance
– Coordination

Balance is important as it demonstrates the control in the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base. This is obviously important as we grow older, but it improves function and athleticism in sports and activities as well. Slack lining isn’t just for college kids! Try it out and feel the deep burn in the hips!

Thrusters are coming. Every last workout of The CrossFit Games Open has ALWAYS included thrusters.

The question is what will it paired with? A lot of people are guessing double unders. I think it’ll be a couplet of doable work- the difference will be who wants it more. Who gets into the pain cave and thrives in there.

Any thoughts?
