Class at 5PM and 6PM
Todays workout asks not just how fast can you get the work done but then can you recover quick enough to put forth that same effort. Much like a sprinter or swimmer might approach some interval repeats on a track or in a pool we should be looking to move efficiently not wasting any energy where it isn't necessary. We should be making a conscious effort to be breathing calmly as we throw our wallballs, (not holding our breath as we descend in the squat like I often see) staying close to the box as we come down each side in preparation of jumping again (not wasting time stepping far from the box and having to add those extra steps to get to a position to jump again) and keeping each burpee looking the same as the last and not mindlessly flailing to the floor and crawling up to a stand. (Think,drop to bottom of pushup, jump feet to hands, jump up) Focusing on having these kinds of thoughts during the workout instead of sulking in dread about how many rounds you have left or if you are going slower than the person next to you will not only improve your movement but also allow you to use this time to recognize how mindfully approaching small details in the way we are moving, thinking and recovering can equal big results.
