December 16 - 21

Monday


Brief
This is the first week of this 4 week cycle. We will use it as an opportunity to deload before ramping up over the next 3. If you have not been training regularly you can go a little bit heavier than 65% if you feel you do not need a deload. Remember that deloads are a fundamental part of building strength and preventing burnout/injury over the long-term. So if you have been training hard and consistently, it is recommended you do take the deload sets/reps to allow your body to fully recover.
The metcon is 6 rounds of work, each taking place on the 3 mintue mark. The goal is for consistent times across the 6 rounds. Stagger waves 1 minute apart if needed.

Tuesday

Why do we love Animal Flow and Primal Crawls so much? To build mobility and stability, particularly through the shoulders and hips. To explore and be strong in different ranges-of-motion and positions. To play, which is great for coordination, creativity and stress relief.
