WEDNESDAY 07/10/2024

As we enter a new week, let us remember consistency is the key to reaching out goals. Motivation comes and goes, but determination is a choice that we have to make every single day. Remember this month is our July push-up challenge, so don't forget to log your daily 25 push-ups every day in the "Be Better" track on the member app! Even with the busyness of summer, make sure getting in the gym is priority for your mental and physical health. Movement is power and has so many good benefits for you inside and out of the gym. Let's get after another week!

EVENTS:

Open Gym Times this Week | Thursday 6:30 pm, Saturday 10 am - 12 pm and Sunday 1-3 pm

Only one Saturday class @ 10 am.

Saturday July 20th- US National Whitewater Center Takeover 2 - 9 pm

Whiteboard of the Day

Mary is a classic benchmark that tests metabolic conditioning relative to a mix of moderate to high-level gymnastic skills.

If you can perform the movements Rx’d, but are unsure about the volume, consider still performing this one Rx’d or scaling the rep volume before changing the movements. AMRAPs allow you to test out new skills without the risk of running too long.

If needed, reduce reps so you can perform each movement in three sets or less.

Regardless of your ability, consider deliberately splitting the first few rounds up so you can maintain a consistent pace throughout.

Advanced athletes who have completed 15 or more rounds previously should consider strict handstand push-ups, weighted single-leg squats, and/or strict pull-ups in today’s variation.
