A few things...and a quick note on "Toning"
To be serious about strength training you should eliminate the word "tone" from your vocabulary. Lifting a tiny weight for a hundred reps is a waste of time and never really stresses your muscles enough to make them much stronger. There is no such thing as "toning". There is muscle mass, strength gain and fat loss...that's it! In technical terms, "tone" refers to the ability of the central nervous system to provide passive muscular resistance to being stretched. What you probably think of as toned are merely muscles not hidden by a lot of body fat!! So in other words don't waste your time on little weights, go ahead step it up...the harder it is the stronger you get!

2. What class are you coming to on Friday? Do you all have off? Is anyone still in for the 6AM or 7AM or are you sleeping in....Just wanted to get an idea.

    I'll be coming for the noon class on friday and most likely saturday around the same time perhaps.

    I don't want to tone but I want to have the body of a dancer. J/K

    No class for me on Friday - I'm doing a long run around 8:30am if anyone wants in.

    I'll be there Saturday, probably not for the rowing WOD but hopefully for the other 3. And definately for the Whole Foods! Woo woo!

    Aimee -
    We will be out of town this weekend, so I won't be at the Friday AM class or Saturday. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

    Likely 11 AM for Jeff and I on Friday and definitely at least one of the WODs on Saturday. We're in for the party as well!

    PS -- We could also make the 12 PM class on Friday so if there are no other takers for 11 AM, Aimee, please go ahead and schedule what works best for you and the others. We're flexible!

    My goal is to do a Team WOD on Friday, so after tonight's poll, I think we are going to do a 7:00AM and 12:00PM class on Friday!!!
