STRENGTH WEEK: #6
Hi TXT community, As we move to week 5 and up, we increase our weight & sets and lower our reps. As the weight gets heavier we lower our sets and reps pushing ourselves to achieve a new max. As always we focus on mobility to warm us up and lubricate our joints. And to finish it off and push our cardiovascular strength we finish with a metcon, because everyone enjoys a good sweat. Not only that it boosts serotonin and helps us get the most optimal workout in 45 min. Of course not everyday is the same, some days are harder and some are easier because it's good to not always push the envelope with crazy intense workouts. Rest and recovery are equally as important. 
Our new challenge for March is a grip/pull up challenge. We will be working for 4-5 min after class to build our grip and pull-up strength. There are Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced options. 

Have a wonderful week,
Christa B
