When Jacinto speaks, you listen.

Group class participants are welcome to come early if they'd like to warm-up on their own and get started before 12. This WOD make take a little longer than most workouts.

Notes:
1. We got more of the soft gray mats and cleaned up the old ones to encourage their use.  In order to keep them in good condition please refrain from wearing shoes while on them and wipe down when you're done. Take some time after or before class to use any of the mobility/recovery tools that we have on them. (Foam rollers, the stick, back peanuts, stretch straps.. etc.)
2. Beginner and Group classes are always scheduled back to back so you can use the space as an "Open Gym" during the class that you do not participate in. Take advantage of this!  The running class has equipment priority.
3. If anyone belongs to an organization which they would like to promote, please send me the link and we'll put it up on the "Community Links".
4. When you get to class, remember to sign in, pay a coach, THEN check off the payment box. Please make this the first thing you do after putting down your stuff.

Your body's ability to thermoregulate itself it is directly correlated to your fluid intake. Thirst alone is not the best indicator of dehydration so please remember to drink plenty of water before, during and after training.  If you forget to bring water, it can be purchased downstairs at the coffee shop.

We will be meeting in St. Mary's Playground (click "map it") tonight at 6:45pm. The park is located about 2 blocks from the Smith and 9th Street subway station (F/G) on Smith Street between Nelson and Luquer.  Parking is usually available right next to the park.  The matted floor can get a little dirty so bring a towel if you'd like to stay clean.

St. Mary's is where CFSBK planted its roots.

YOUR PRIMAL BLUEPRINT (Good Read)

"Although it may sound strange, we humans "eat" the sun as a nutrient.  Just as plants use sunlight to produce energy, the action of sunlight on our skin produces the "sunshine vitamin," natural vitamin D. The health benefits of this miraculous vitamin are legion, including building and strengthening bones, regulating calcium metabolism, influencing our mood, alleviating depression, boosting metabolism, and, amazingly enough, preventing the growth of cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate and even malignant melanoma"

Take a pass on sunblock this summer and enjoy the natural relashionship between yourself and the primary catalyst of all life on earth, the Sun.  Ween in some sun-time everyday, if you're fair skinned a couple minutes may be enough at first. Remember to NEVER burn, this is your body's natural mechanism for saying "too much sun!" Better to cover up a little or find some shade than slop on some questionable sunblock and try to override what your skin is telling you.

Welcome Steve!
