Hey all,
Today's ski conditioning was mostly a repeat of last night's event. Like last night it was full, so the Margarita Challenge was in effect. And like last night, close but no cigar. The box jumps really put the zap on a couple of people today. But with a little encouragement everyone got it in gear eventually. The "heavy" rope almost took out a couple of people. Watch out for that thing. It's heavy.
The Mystery Event today was a game of Hard & Fast. The idea with this one is to do one exercise to 93% of your max, and then switch to the other until your heart rate drops to 85%. Kind of an "active" recovery game of Peaks & Valleys. Flying Chickens made up the Fast portion, and sitting in Pike Position was the hard portion.
Much like with the overhead squats during the warmup, the pikes seem to require a little lesson in anatomy and the definition of certain words. For those of you who were in class, the "knee" is the joint between your ankle and your hip. And for our purposes "straight" means "not bent." That should help next time I say "Keep your knees straight!"
Life is full of lessons.
See you next time.
Coach CWall
