This week's work..

Working on handstand push-ups..how else would you bond with your mom? 

Monday and Tuesday's classes have been great. The block program is up and running and it's great to see the names and goals scribbled all over the walls. Now it's time to start knocking them out...speaking of goals. The below snippet is from HYPERFIT USA...please click HERE to read the post in its entirety..

People come into the gym with goals - lose weight, get stronger, be fitter or combat boredom. These goals are so simple to accomplish that it is almost laughable. Ready for the secret sauce? Shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone: stop eating processed carbs/sugars and come to the gym at least 3 times per week and work hard.  Magic! At a minimum, 99% of people’s fitness and health goals can be accomplished like this. Seriously. Three hours per week and stay out of the drive through. When grocery shopping, if it doesn't go bad in a few days, don't buy it. If your goal is to lose weight and be healthier - but you can't control your food cravings and can't get to the gym - then it isn't really a goal, it is a wish

So far this week we've got in a great conditioning workout on Monday and put in some strength work today..

That's what friends are for...Primetime and the Burpee Machine or for my Spanish speaking friends                                      "la maquina de Burpeos" 

Tomorrow we will spend a lot of time working on people's goals as we taper down somewhat in preparation for Thursday's inaugural "SISSY TEST".....it will be one helluva challenge workout!
