For More

Saturday we will have our regular 9am class, and if you missed today's class you can do your open workout 14.2 tomorrow from 10am to 11am

Thursday

Just like last Thursday today will be a recovery/ skill day. Spend some time on a rower working out soreness you have gotten from the last couple tough work outs. Its a perfect time to work on any mobility issues you may have.

Like last Thursday we will hang out at 5:00 and watch Camille Leblanc-Bazinet vs. Talayna Fortunato live at the Open workout announcement and find out what 14.2 will have for us. This week we will schedule 14.2 on Friday for our wod. We will judge and cheer each other on just like last week. Friends and family are totally welcome. Saturday morning at 9 we will have our regular class, then we will offer a opportunity to make up 14.2 at 10:00. If you totally bomb your work out or figure out how to do a movement last min (like double unders) we may be able to do something Sunday afternoon or Monday at 3:30. Please be in contact with a trainer if you need to do this.

Aerobic Restoration
25-40 minutes of one of the following performed at 60-70% effort – easy, restorative pace:
* Row (focus on mechanics, smooth and efficient with a very low stroke per minute pace)
* Cycling (get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as you ride)
* Hike (nothing crazy here, find a nice easy slope and go for a walk outdoors)
NOTE ABOUT ACTIVE RECOVERY - The activity selected must be restorative for you. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill (like swimming or rowing), but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized at the end of the session, not depleted. I would also always prefer to see active recovery done as soon after rising as possible on the active recovery days. It’s an opportunity to start some blood flowing and aid your recovery.
B.
Mobility and Maintenance
* Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
* Choose 2-3 Lower Body Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.
* Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
C.
Inflammation Maintenance
* This could be a lot of things, but think in terms of compression, contrast baths, salt baths, castor oil packs, etc….
