Special welcome to all of our new students - Keely, Benjamin, Billy, Emma, Logan, Emily. (If I forgot anyone please post a comment - that way I know you are reading this.) Welcome back to everyone else - great work out today. The warm up was great - our box squats and box pistols were very strong. The planks and push ups were also done well - remember perfect practice - if you cannot do a full plank or push up - do half kneeling - the key is to stay tight and maintain a straight line from your sternum to your pubic bone. Congrats and many thanks to Ben and Jack for their demonstration of the Turkish Get Up - almost perfect - excellent work - there is a short video of the TGU on this blog - just scroll back a few entries and review if you need help remembering the steps. I expect you to practice this skill at home. I know that Jack and Ben have been practicing - and today it showed. Great Job!! Finally - pull ups - pull ups define your dedication as an athlete - practice them when ever you can - every time you see a bar you can hang from - grab the bar, adjust your grip, squeeze the bar as tight as you can with a thumb less grip - from a dead hang tense your whole body starting with your feet, then try to drive your elbows into your sides, squeezing the bar as tight as you can. Practice this skill every day and very soon you will own the pull up.
Take care, see you Thursday. Captain
