Workout of the Day

SKILL: Jump Rope

Notes
Today we’ll focus on breathing and posture mechanics during single and Double Unders. Then take 5 minutes to either practice the movement or attempt a few max unbroken sets.

METCON

Every 6:00 for 5 intervals perform:
Bench Press 10 Reps
Air Bike 24/18 Calories

Notes
If able, build on the bench press weight each round as long as you can perform all ten reps unbroken with good form. Try to keep the bike times relatively consistent and choose a calorie target that will let you finish the bike in around 2:00 at a challenging but repeatable effort.

In this interval workout, perform the first two movements before performing as many burpees as you can until the three minute mark. For the Toes to Bars, choose a rep scheme that will challenge you but allow you to complete the reps in 1-2 sets each interval. Use a 20″ box and two heavy Dumbbells for the step-ups.

Some Info on getting your paws on those RAD x CFSBK Shoes

A lot of folks have asked us about different ways they can get some RAD x CFSBK shoes. Here’s the deal.

1. Come to the event on Saturday! They’ve got a few hundred shoes for sale as well as some awesome CFSBK/RAD long and short sleeve shirts! First come first serve. Shoes will be available from 8am until around 2pm. We are not doing preorders for this event and they must be purchased from RAD directly on Saturday, not through CFSBK.
2. The shoes will go on sale on RADs website on Thursday 10/13 at 11am. Expect them all to sell out in under a minute so if you want them keep refreshing around 11am and you’re advised to create an account in advance as well as save your billing and shipping address. If you have apple-pay you can also use that to check out faster.
3. Once the stock is gone, they’re GONE! This is a limited run collab so good luck!!
