by pay I mean "work".. and by "work" I mean attitude. Some people just don't give a shit. It's pretty transparent too. Others are giving the workouts their all and are really getting a lot out of it. I know I've said this before, but it seems like we all need reminders some times. Some people have been coming regularly, or mostly regularly and on time. Others show up when it's convenient for them and they have nothing better to do, in like 4 week intervals. They'll come strolling in late and think nothing of it. That makes me feel like I failed. This program was designed to facilitate lifestyle-change, not just a good sweat. That's why we have these resources for you all. If you can't commit to a simple hour a day by consistently showing up on time and ready to TRAIN then there's really not much I can do for you. In fact, it's only taking away from people who HAVE been consistently coming. It sucks when we have to have people warming up at different intervals and then having to reteach things to people who have been missing for weeks and can't remember even the simple things, let alone the heavy-lifting stuff. So for those of you that have dedicated yourselves to getting better though training, THANK YOU!! You guys are leaders. To the rest, I apologize. Not much more to it than that.
I read a good piece of advice a long time ago: When life blows past you, YOU have to catch up. Seems pretty obvious but we all forget that sometimes.
Here's some workouts for those of you who like to breathe fire:
1.
2 x 12 minutes of running/swim/row/bike..
2 min rest between efforts
Record distances.

2.
20 minute AMRAP:
a.
5 pushups
10 situps
15 squat
Or
b.

Record option and total rounds.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWho knew that lifting weights could make you smart(er)! As I think about it though, it does take a lot of thought process to do the lifts correctly. hmmm

Good job today Kim, Tonya, Paul, Gustavo & Jolie!!
ReplyDelete#2 I got through 6.5 rounds of pullup/pushup/squat. Used the thinner blue band and kipped.. hand is kind of torn up at the moment. I was really working on my form in the squat focusing keeping my knees out. Need to do some adductor stretching ala KStar.

ReplyDeleteDid the 20 min AMRAP of pushups, situps and squats. Completed 18. Thanks again, Paul, for joining me on my last 3 (or was it 4?) rounds and pushing me through. I did not realize I could squat that quickly, but now I know. Huge assist!

Following a multi-stair warmup, I did a modified AMRAP of pushups, situps and squats. Modified because I forgot my watch....oops. I didn't count my rounds but kept going until I couldn't go anymore! I have no idea if I did 20 minutes' worth.
ReplyDelete2A -completed 12 rounds
ReplyDeletegot lower and faster on those squats...need to improve the situps though.
Tonya
Did 14 reps - good times, good company. The support system is awesome
ReplyDeleteok, rowing kicked my ass today. hamstrings are so tight. I forgot to record what I got the second round (first round digital display didn't work) something like 40m less than Jolie...
ReplyDeleteAnother good group today - BHIP dominated the rowers in the wooden center: Jolie, Bill & Gustavo!
Did WOD #1 today on the rower.
ReplyDeleteFirst round, ~2300 meters
Second round, ~2300 meters
I think I ended up with 4638, pretty evenly split. Glad the second round wasn't worse than the first, but still disappointed in the numbers - I should be easily hitting more than 200 m/min. Has a few adjustment problems along the way, but really I just need to work harder and be less sucky.
