We have three events this week designed to keep you fresh, sprite-like and kick a**. Keep learning. Keep experimenting. Keep playing.
The first event is our Wednesday night Chris Gartrell Mobility hour from 5:30 to 6:30pm. These are the tricks of the trade that allow us all to stay in the gym until we can’t remember where the gym is anymore! Don’t turn into one of those lifters who has to drape their arms over the barbell because your shoulders are too jacked to hold onto it properly. Fight the power, while increasing the power! Stay mobile and useful.
The second event is our lecture on eating well. Last night the Primal Plan crew got a little primer on the thyroid/fat-soluble vitamins/bone health connection, but they are kind of advanced at this point. This Wednesday at 6pm we will toss around the basic foundation of a clean, yet nourishing diet. Your body simply cannot maintain it’s youthful rambunctiousness on spinach and chicken breasts. Get the whole picture. Free and open to the public.
The third event is a little workshop on Saturday designed to take you seriously out of your rut. Don’t leave all the fun stuff to the kids. Chris Pinedo (someone teach me how to make the tilda over the n on my computer because he has one in his name) will share with you his secrets to balancing upside down and other cool stuff. Chris is a gymnastics coach and breakdancer (and teacher of breakdancing). He can do amazing things with his body and because he teaches movement all day, every day, he can break it down for you (hahaha, pun) too! This Saturday, Feb 25th from 11:30 to 1:00pm Chris will be in the gym to help you all with your CrossFit-related gymnastics movements. We will have a sign up sheet in the gym for Chris. This workshop is free, but space will be limited. It makes sense for you to attend Chris’ workshop if you are comfortable kicking up into handstands and playing around and falling. If you aren’t quite there yet, head over to Open Gym, and do your thing, then stick around to watch. It is magical. 50m handstand walk in the Open Sectionals? Done. You can read more about Chris and his students and their current project right here: imnotyoursteppingstone. The videos are of Chris and his project from last year.
