Whole Life ChallengeI know, I know…you’re tired of hearing about the Whole Life Challenge and how you should totally get into the game. You’re all, “Goodness gracious, I already play pretty close to these rules… why do I need to pay for a Challenge?” or “I know I’m not going to be perfect, so why even play?” Or, my personal favorite, “I don’t want to be excommunicated just because I don’t participate.” To be clear, there will be no excommunication.. there WILL BE a lot of people around the gym getting healthier, improving at WODs/lifts, leaning out/bulking up, and just developing better life habits in general. Soooo, if you feel excluded, it’s only because MORE THAN 30 of your CFM-mates are already in the game. I know eight weeks is a big commitment. You don’t have to be a hermit. We’ll plan group outings that have nothing to do with non-WLC-approved foods/activities. I’m talking hiking, rock climbing, gun range, trampolining, roller derby… etc… Just take it day by day and create a better life for yourself. Still on the fence? Check out this testimonial… Email us or come to the Pre-Challenge Huddle if you have more questions. Don’t let self-doubt leave you out of the game…You can do it. Mark your calendars for upcoming WLC cahoots: Saturday, September 8 at noon- WLC Pre-Challenge Huddle Friday, September 14- WLC Eve Not-Paleo Potluck Saturday, September 15- WLC Prelims Friday, October 12- Paleo Potluck Saturday, November 10- WLC Finals, Awards Ceremony and Finals Party International Make-Fred-Run Day Workout of the Day Ring Dips As many reps as possible.

WOD A. 3 x 1:00 Row @ 60%, 80%, 100% B. DL 5RM C. FOR FORM (not for time) 10, 9, 8…3, 2, 1 Dynamic Push Up 1, 2, 3…8, 9, 10 Supine Ring Pull Up OR Ring Row Dynamic Push Ups: The adorable Olivia, climbing on post-WOD Daddy (Dyer) Don’t I come here to check out? During yesterday’s shuttle runs I told Geoff and Alison they had to calculate their interval times during their rest break. They joked with me about having to do math during the WOD. “Don’t I come here to check out?” asked Geoff. The answer is no. Maybe in your globo gym day you put on your headphones, hopped on the treadmill or elliptical, and stared at the TVs, tuning out as the minutes passed until your cardio was done. At CrossFit Midtown, you’re here to learn and improve as an athlete. So don’t plan on “checking out” while you’re here. YES, we want you to leave work/stress/family life/etc at the door, but you do need to focus. Be present. Focus on the skills we’re working on that day, and devote this time to improving your health and fitness. And keep up the great work!
