Onwards and Upwards

The classes are huge. It was good to see such a good turnout in class. Everyone brought that fire that we've grown accustomed to.

This week will have no supplementary workouts as we will have to acclimate a bit to the schedule and the programmed workload. For now, 3 days of high-intensity training will suffice and will also demand maximal recovery time from the body. So please be sure to listen to your body and act accordingly. If you were planning on doing some extra training for any reason and you feel crummy, please rest; you will only benefit from a little extra rest. Rest is when we get strong.

Also, please arrive to class ON TIME. We will start class promptly to accommodate for the larger sizes and we cannot hold up large groups of people because one person is late. Please let us know well ahead of time if you have some sort of issues that may prevent you from arriving on time. We'll do our best to help you but the 3-burpee rule still applies and will be enforced.

We encourage you all to use the comment board to not only post your performance and progress, but also to provide feedback and to stimulate productive discussion.

Thanks you all for your dedication to being WELL. Please check in often as we will post relevant information as frequently as we can. We will be using this blogspot site as our source of communication with all non-onramp participants of BHIP.

  1. Thanks for the post. It was definitely an adjustment being part of the larger group as we had been spoiled with having Liz and Dave all to ourselves these past few weeks. It was good though to see so many people up for the challenge. Our continuation group from the first round of BHIP still work out five days a week. We met again today at 6:15am and at the suggestion of one of our comrades we did 100 jumping jacks to start and end, 10 broad jumps, 10 push ups 10X. I was still sweating after the shower.

  2. For those who are interested, a few of us are showing up at Drake on our off days (Tues & Thurs). All are welcome to join us. Tuesday, we did a circuit of Stadiums. One flight up and down, then 10 push-up's and 10 sit-up's, all the way to one end of the stadium. Hopefully we'll see some of you tomorrow, bring workout suggestions.
