Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have our second BRING A FRIEND DAY option!  This is a great day to encourage members to invite a friend or two to the gym!  The team option for the workout is in the logistics section. 

All athletes row and bike the same distance in this memorial workout. Choose distances for each movement that take 10 minutes or less to complete.

Scoring

Score: Time

Movements

Target Score: 20-30 Minutes 

Stimulus: Lactate Threshold [RPE 6-7]

All Movements: 10:00 or less to complete.

The One | Teaching Focus

Look for these things:

Row: Leg Drive - Emphasize the initiation of the rowing stroke with a powerful leg drive. Athletes should push through their legs before engaging their back and arms.

Bike: Posture and Alignment: Check that athletes maintain a neutral spine and proper posture while riding. The back should be straight, and the shoulders should be relaxed.

Run: Posture: Check for an upright posture with a slight forward lean from the ankles.  Avoid excessive forward bending at the waist or leaning back.

Strategies

The best way to optimize this workout is to work at a moderate intensity that requires focus but at which you know you can hold for the movements that are hardest for you. Then push hard on the movement(s) you are best at.

MINDSET

Dalai Lama 

"Genuine love should first be directed at oneself. If we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?"

Self-love is the foundation for loving others; you must care for yourself before you can truly care for others.
