Is this your first Quarterly Check-In Week?

Here’s what’s about to go down…1. Retest your baseline! For your first workout of the week, you’ll retest your Baseline as your warm-up. You also have the option to retest your Baseline WOD on Sunday at Open Gym on 4/28 or 5/5 from 12n-2p with Dyer OR on Saturday, 5/4…
2. Goal-Setting & reflection: At the beginning of class on Mon, Tues & Wed, we’ll take 10 minutes to reflect on our progress over the last three months and set some goals for the next quarter. If you prefer to spend more time on goal-setting, join Lis next Saturday, May 4th from 12n-1p for a free goal-setting workshop. We’ll take some time to visualize what we want our future to be like, then set smaller, action steps to achieve our longer-term goals.
3. Record your results! If you haven’t been doing it already, now is the time to start tracking your progress in the gym. Use the Zen Planner iPhone app, or you can track through the Zen Planner web page.
4. Saturday is a Make-Up Day. Next week ONLY, we won’t be doing a Team WOD on Saturday. Instead, in each of the three classes, 9, 10 and 11, you’ll have the chance to make up a workout you missed earlier in the week.

Lis sets the state record at Powerlifting for Pink with a back squat of more than twice her bodyweight… 130 kg/286# (bodyweight 142#). Thanks to Ian for catching the footage!

Yoga tonight at 8:15p with Laura!

  1. Great video! Lis, so just to clarify, you're allowing people to defer their baseline retest to Saturday or Sunday even if it's their first workout of the week, did I read that right? Personally, I think that the baseline makes getting a good CF Total or Olympic total more difficult. So, the flexibility to not have to do it on those days would be nice.
