Man your sweaty stations!

Man your sweaty stations!

Gio

Every single time I tell people to man their stations the tendency is to look as lost as possible as if I’d asked them to look for the corner in a square room! It never fails, that after description of exercises, movement standards, and walk through I would often ask the crew do you have any questions?

All would shake their collective heads and reply No. once the proverbial 3,2,1- Go is announced they start with the questions! Okay, what gives?!

This day you’re in the volleyball court at Mayfair Park so make sure you bring change of socks, and shoes.

Breaking out a sled for today!

Man, I’m excited to pull this tool out just as summer is coming to an end. No, not a party pooper however it will give you an insight to what the fall and winter WOD’s will have as a tool for you to use.

Yes, this brings another level of Fun (torture to some) for all to enjoy. Having said that here we’ll be able to eek out some pretty decent evaluations as to how your hips are doing. What? You see there are times we don’t notice that one leg / hip is kipping or being used more than the other and the energy expenditure is higher so you end up a bit lopsided because of it.

Although you’re working out, I’ll be checking you out while you do the sled pull for that allotted distance so we’ll have a dual function with a good tool.

Training with kettlebells (kb) for any period of time you’ll always hear from your experienced lifters to control your kb from start to finish. Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard it all haven’t you?

Well, the crux is that from start to finish you should be breathing, splinting, swinging, stopping, breathing some more then lowering and Not Dumping your kb just because it’s your last rep.

Will you hurt yourself? Honestly there is a chance once it bounces around it may hit another object than hit you however it may bounce back and smack you really good. So, the other objects maybe another human being in the area so it’s good practice to control it, and not take that chance. I’ve heard some really stupid statements from former clients -“as long as it’s not me I don’t care..”, “well I’ve been lucky this longs so what?”, “you didn’t t tell me at the start of the WOD I couldn’t dump it!”

Really? I sometime daydream of every time they dump it bounces back just close enough to scare the crap out of them. My biggest peeve folks, it truly is. Respect the equipment. Take care of your tools.
