9/14 Whole Life Wednesday

Kama demonstrates how we will scale our pistols today. 
The Whole Life Challenge starts this Saturday! Nearly half of the gym is taking the Fall challenge. Are you? Register for the WLC here. 

Regardless of whether you register, I wanted to give you a tip about reaching your goals. I call it building a different boat. Remember the scene in Jaws when the police chief sees the enormous 25-foot great white shark for the first time?

He looks at the fisherman planning to capture the shark and says, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

When your goals change, you’ve got to build a different boat. The environment you used to have won’t work. The habits you used to practice aren’t effective.

You have to act as if you have already reached your goal. Your boat has to reflect what you want your life to look like.

• What would your kitchen “look like” if you were the strongest and healthiest you’ve ever been? Would it be packed with those teeny, tiny donuts that come in oblong packages? Pop tarts?

Probably not. It would probably be stocked with a lot of fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fresh poultry and beef.

• Would you plan your meals in advance, or just approach nutrition with a willy-nilly attitude?
• What time would you go to bed? Wake up?
• Would you watch three hours a day of TV, or would you do something else with your free time?

Setting yourself up, preparing your environment, and building the boat is the easiest part of reaching a goal. Once you get things in order, you can put your mettle to the test.

The workout of the day this Friday is the WLC workout. Get to class a few minutes early to allow time for pre-challenge measurements. If you are unable to attend class on Friday, please make alternate arrangements with Coach Leslie.

There is NO CLASS on Saturday. We are hosting The Movement Fix seminar. 

Thank you to everyone who attended our PR Party last night. What a great night! Our next PR Party will be in November. 

Today's Workout 
Skill: L-Sit Core Strength Exercises 
then, 
As many rounds and reps in 12 minutes of:
10 Hanging straight leg raises (to parallel)
6 box jumps 30/24”
4 Pistols 
Today's workout is from way back. It's a challenging gymnastics triplet that taxes your hip explosion, hip and core strength and balance. Scale the hanging straight leg raises to knee raises. DO NOT KIP. The leg raise should be controlled and not initiated through momentum.
