Rest Day

Posted on

Today is a scheduled rest/recovery day, but don’t worry! We are open and running on a normal class schedule, but you’ll have the option of doing either yesterday or tomorrow’s programming (which can be found in the comments section of today and every Rest Day’s post). We recently explained why we program Rest Days twice a week and how you can get the most out of them.


Huge congrats to Pierre D. and Coach Ro, who are currently ranked 5th worldwide and 1st in the Northeast Division in the 40-44 age division of the CrossFit Team Series.  Let’s show them some CFSBK love in the comments! 

1. Fight Gone bad is just a couple of weeks away! So far we’ve raised over $1,200 for Brooklyn Community Foundation, but there’s still lots more work to be done! On Wednesday, we posted a guide to getting started, and yesterday we posted some fundraising tips. Giddy up!

2. Get out of pain, stay out of pain, strengthen your weaknesses, and improve mobility and movement patterns, all while getting stronger! An evening edition of Coach Keith’s popular Active Life Strength class starts October 15th, and registration opened last week. Check out Tuesday’s post for details!

3. Kristin Hoesl (aka KH, aka Cage) has teamed up with her longtime colleague Michele Rinaldi to open The Pilates Local, a beautiful, intimate Pilates studio in the heart of Union Square! The Pilates Local is offering a 10% discount off of all group classes to CFSBK members. To check out our schedule, or book and buy classes, visit www.thepilateslocal.com, and enter the code “CFSBK10” at checkout.

4. This Sunday, October 7th at 7pm, CFSBKers Jenna Jerman and Maria Heinegg host “My Body, My Jokes,” a bi-monthly stand up comedy show on the bodily experience. This month’s theme: periods! Come share some laughs with them at Caveat on the LES.

5. Are you competing in this Sunday’s Subway Series event at CrossFit Queens? Let us know in the comments so we can shout you out!

6. This Sunday’s 12pm Pilates class with Karina is cancelled.

  1. Saturday’s Programming

    AMRAP 14 Minutes:
    1-3 Strict Handstand Push-Ups

    Scale to 1 AbMat or to Seated Dumbbell Z Presses

    Rest 1 minute, then…

    AMRAP 14 Minutes:
    Row/Bike for Calories

    Rest 1 minute, then…

    AMRAP 14 Minutes
    3 Goblet Squats
    3e Single-Arm Bent Over Rows

    The goal today is to maintain an aerobic pace on all 3 workouts. Make your effort noticeable but not so much that you can’t breathe comfortably through your nose the whole time. That means that your heart rate will probably stay below about 150 BPM (beats per minute). Perform “AMRAP” while staying at this level of exertion.

    Post work to comments.

    • I didn’t even know there were so many minutes in a group class :-p 14min of strict HSPU is the same as 2min of strict HSPU for me 🙂
