Coach Whitney recovers during the rest period in Fight Gone Bad. We often program interval workouts at CFSBK with rest periods as short as :10 and upwards of a couple minutes. How do you spend that time? Do you tune out and relax? Strategize for the next round? Lie on the floor?

Upcoming Mindfulness Meditation Workshop on Sunday!
“It seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don’t we think about training our mind?”
-Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
Kevin Townley from The Shambhala Meditation Center in Chelsea will be visiting us to teach two 90-minute workshops: the first this Sunday, January 18 at 2:15 and then on the following Sunday, January 25 at 3:30.
Both sessions will introduce basic principles and techniques for shamatha or mindfulness meditation. Learn how meditation works to deal with stress, anxiety, and habitual mental patterns and is a way to make the mind more stable and clear, less caught up in fear and avoidance. And how, on a deeper level, meditation is a system for deeply familiarizing yourself with how the mind works in general, and for developing a more authentic and compassionate outlook on life. You can attend either session or both if you’d like Kevin to address any questions you may have after your first week of practice. Cost is $5/session, which will be collected at the start of the workshop, but please RSVP in advance in the comments on the corresponding event page (found in the right-hand column).
If you RSVPed and can no longer attend, please note that in the comments on the corresponding event page.
