It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

REST / RECOVERY

Back to Thursday = Rest Day...
The WOD's will now be Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri & Sat. / Thur & Sun are considered REST DAYS...

As always, you workout when you choose to! But the schedule will be as above...Those that are around for a Sat AM WOD...we will meet and greet!

With that in mind...What does a "REST DAY" mean to you?
Active Recovery, Sleep, Get Caught Up on Things, etc

It is all of the above...Each week the Rest Day or Days can be very different...You need to listen to your body.  Rest / Recovery / Regeneration is what most people lack in their routine.  If you are "just not feeling it" for a workout, you have two choices:
1) Grind it out and finish at a slower pace, less weight, etc
2) Be done for the day (not always a bad choice)

If it is purely a mental not feeling it either choice is ok!
If it is a degree of tightness, tense muscles, ache/pain that you cannot get going...then option #2 is needed
That is why REST DAYS should be a part of your routine...If you wait until you are overtrained or injured, it is too late!

NOW, you must remember that simply stringing 7 "Rest Days" together is not what we are looking for...that is called lazy (unless you are INJURED)!
