Mobility Week 1
Once you have gone through this week's mobility moves twice with a coach it is your responsibility to perform the posted reps on your own either before or after class.  These movements can also be done at home and require no prior warm-up. This week's evercises are: Cat/Cow, T-Twists and Side Twists. Week one has an emphasis on "Spinal Flossing" which describes movements that increase neural function of the spine by freeing impinged nerves.  Remember that we're not looking for a lot of mobility in the spine so go easy on the end ranges of motion.  It should not feel like an intense stretch.

If anyone wants to brave the outdoors, they're more than welcome to take the kettlebell outside and use the scaffolding for pull-ups to get a regulation "Helen" time. The 400m run is to 3rd st. and back.

Gratitude 
You remember the recent visit from our friends Robb and Nicki. What you might not know about Nicki is that she's been quite influential in helping to develop our program. Her and I have worked together over the last few months to help manage our growth while ensuring quality training. Nicki has a "boatload" of experience as a CrossFit coach and an affiliate owner.  CrossFit Norcal Strength and Conditioning is not only one of the oldest affiliates (4th), it's one of the nation's best run programs. Look forward to continued influence from the Left Coast for a long time to come. If we install an espresso machine you'll know we've been completely taken over.

 Updates 
Four 5'x10' Mancino Mats were ordered yesterday. These additions will help us put groups through more tumbling oriented warm-ups and gymnastics based skill work.  Playing around on the mats will also be strongly encouraged.
