YOGA

We all know how important stretching and mobility is to keep your body tuned up for maximum performance. Many of you have been taking Tim's Mobility Class Monday, Tuesday and Friday, THIS WEEK ONLY at 5:30PM on 5/2 we are having a special guest---Yoga teacher Tori is back.

Join Tori for a special 60 minute vinyasa yoga classes. This class will connect breath with movement increasing physical awareness, flexibility, static core strength and your body's ability to release toxins.

 A vinyasa yoga class is also a great way to not only relieve physical tensions from everyday "wear and tear" and sore muscles but can also alleviate stress and mental tension. Some yoga experience is helpful but not necessary. All you really need is a mat, a water and breath.   Please bring your own Yoga mat.  This counts as a regular class for members or a $15 drop in for NON- Members bring a friend.

Take 20 Minutes to get to your 1RM Split Jerk

then...

AMRAP in 7 Minutes

25 Double Unders

2 Bar Muscle Ups

Coaches Notes:

 The AMRAP is meant to be FAST, if 25 DU's will take you over a minute, consider scaling back to less reps to have a faster cycle time (i.e 15 reps or use attempts).  Bar Muscle Ups can be scaled from a box to a high bar or a racked bar closer to the ground.
