6am, 7am, 12:30 regulars converged last week for a 7am class (from left to right - Eric, Shelley, Valla, Carolyn, Andrew, Matt.)
Today's WorkoutWe're working on developing a rock solid bottom of your squat in today's workout. This is not timed.
5 sets of 10 reps
Set 1: Super slow - 20 seconds round trip
Set 2: Bottom to bottom
Set 3: 10 second hold at bottom
Set 4: Eyes closed
Set 5: Easy down, explode up
* Choose a weight in each set that is your 10 rep max (10 RM) - meaning 10 is possible, but the eleventh is not.

Last week, Jade shared with us a bunch of things about self-defense at our seminar at Petranek Fitness. One of the most important things I took away from the seminar was to be both aware of my surroundings and environment (aka - not "HUA" - head up ass) and to be prepared to take the appropriate action - fight OR flight.
My mom sent me this article over the weekend - HUA in action! Check it out! World renown violinist Josh Bell recently spent 45 minutes playing in a subway station. Do you think anyone noticed or stopped to listen? CLICK HERE for the article in the Washington Post. It's amazing, but it actually takes practice and training to not be so preoccupied by your mind that you miss the opportunities life throws at you right in front of your eyes!
Today's Workout60 second sprint on the rowing ergometer
2 minues of easy rowing
repeat 15 times.
Set your computer up for the work/rest interval to keep track for you automatically. Set your mark on the first round for distance. Try to match this each successive interval. This workout will tax your anaerobic pathways while also giving you the aerobic benefit of a 45 minute workout.
