"Big box" fitness for Metcon








"no box" fitness for metcon.....now who is going to be fitter and has more fun?






"I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day.
Sergei Bubka

WO du jour: bands and joint mobility for 20 min. then 4 sets of 10 chin ups,30 pushups,40 situps, 50 squats.

set Gymboss timer to 30sec. work,30sec rest for GS snatches.
30 sets in 30 min. 16kg snatch with 12 reps average on each 30 sec. for a total of 360 reps.
Day 6 with 6 burpees.
concentrated on maintaining same speed and full extension of kettlebell, instead of the "hail Hitler" snatch with hand in front of head.

15 mile bike ride to stretch out legs after the snatches. Is that too much....NFW

I was riding my bike the other day and passed a small local town park on a great summer morning ,that was warm and clear. The park has two small lakes, and a paved path around the parameter for about a mile and haft. Its a great park to bike, run or walk off some lbs. You often see groups of people walking together for socialization. Now on the other side of the park is a small shopping center with a "big box gym" with members in the window on treadmills or elliptical machines running their little asses off. I can't understand why on such a nice day, with all the fresh air, you would want to be inside, listening to suck ass music, jogging on a machine, when you can be outside doing your thing; above all cost you nothing! I should have stopped and gone inside and told everyone to get outside on such a nice day! Its just a small part of the greening of America.

Have a great day suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
