If you’re an athlete, and participate in a sport, at some point you’re going to fall. This week we’ll be working on throwing ourselves at the ground, and coming up unscathed. Practicing going to ground is great for improving coordination and balance, as well as further developing your proprioception and kinesthetic sense. We’ll be moving through the progression of forward rolls, crane poses, and headstands. Hitting the deck, and bettering our sense of our bodies in space.

Dude, how is that Hasselhoff? I just finished Fran, lay off.
Hahaha you didn’t have time to do laundry between Fri a/m classes and then? Good stuff.
25:15 with (mostly) singles on the rope and a purple band on the pull-ups. I got off to a horrible start on the rope and spent forever on the pullup bar, but this was a great WOD to start the week.
I don’t think anyone spent more time on the pull up bar than I did haha please tell me you did your burpees today so that you don’t have to do more make ups? 448 is ridiculous!
WOD- 19:34 Rx
Today’s 67 were included in the weekend’s 448, so I’m caught up…33 days to go!
i think a party is totally necessary on day 100.
YES! I am off to do my 67!
WOD – 13:49RX
and an award for best outfit
Things I learned today:
1. Headstands make my eyes bloodshot, and that sort of hurts. As does sweat in your eyes during walking lunges.
2. I’m worse at double unders than I thought. It was awful- killed my time.
WOD: 24:25 with all sorts of awful scaling and not fun-ness. At least the KB swings and sit-ups were Rx.
I can’t believe it. Just when I move back to Florida, you do something I am good at — FALLING. I miss you all!
15:34 Rx
Hit a wall during my situps, definitely gotta crank em out better next time. Good job to the 5oclock class!
Ring Dips – 9, 11, 8
