We just kicked off our December Be Better Challenge this week- we are RUNNING! You add one minute of running each day in December (ex: day 1- 1 minute, day 2- 2 minutes, etc.) leading up to Christmas Day with 25 minutes of running. This will be a great challenge to keep you WARM this holiday season and build up some cardio capacity. Incorporating physical activity into your holiday routine can help offset some of the extra indulgence of Christmas treats this time of year. Whether it's a morning walk, a family hike, or a dance-off to your favorite Christmas tunes, find a way to stay active that feels fun and festive. Our running challenge this month is a great way to get some activity in each day. We can't wait to see you all in the gym this week!

December 14th: GenOne Volunteer Day with Ian Joyce - In this season of giving, we have an opportunity provided by one of our members, Ian Joyce, to partner with GenOne, an amazing nonprofit that partners with talented, first generation students from underserved communities, helping them successfully navigate into and through college. We need your muscles to help assist with breaking down old desks, building new ones, and some potential landscaping. Sign up sheets are on the whiteboard, so put your name down for a fun time of serving the community together!

Whiteboard of the Day

Stimulus is moderately high to moderate intensity. Athletes can start this workout fast and settle into a maintenance pace as wall walk volume increases.

Run: Whether you choose outside or Air Runner/TruForm, the pace should be a moderate recovery (70-75%). Encourage athletes to focus on a consistent breathing pattern.

Wall Walk: Avoid resting too long between reps until the round of 4 wall walks. Touch and go a few reps before getting a 3-5 second break at the bottom. The goal pace should be 4-6 reps every minute.
