Contagious

Wow! 13 in class this morning....resistant to change a little in the beginning (written all over many faces - like great here we go). We started with joint mobility and went over the basics of the swing - safety, hiking, proper breathing, towel swing.....and then off to the nasty partner over speed eccentrics drill - 20 sec on/off - 10 sets total with a light bell. Then everyone started to ease up (after the hesitation of going to a lighter bell)....We need to mix it up guys - gotta train different every time or the body becomes stagnant - light, heavy, slow, fast - think outside of the box - trick the body.....so impressed with everyone's improved power. We then headed to the Turkish Get Up with the shoe - broke down all 17 steps - no sliding through or slacking....we're gonna do it right or not at all.....Gary got all the way up for the first time - super. Many of the regulars struggled (as did I) to adapt to the new format - it's a lot harder - not room for cheating.....20 burpees, 20 swings, 10 push ups, relaxation and stretching.....that was a FAST HOUR and a full body workout with just 2 exercises - amazing! Thank you to all of you for your patience and for listening to me....I am passionate (now more than ever) about what I do...hopefully it's contagious.
