2020 Challenge Series Update:

Due to the challenges 2020 has presented us all we are going to be pausing the Challenge Series for the rest of 2020 and hope to resume in January of 2021.

This month, make your mindset and mental toughness the primary skill you practice at the box; it is the biggest bang for your buck if you want to be become better. This means actively putting yourself in uncomfortable situations in order to practice patience and adaptability. Always do handstand push-up on the plates? Use the crash mat. Always use the speal bar? Pull up on the powder-coated bar instead. Do a workout with no music. Don't look at the WOD in advance. Show up purposefully on a day when you know you’ll suck at a movement. Take a rest day. Mediate. Stop complaining. Don’t strip the bar when you fail one rep in a workout. Take a deep breath and try again. Slow down. Visualize how you will act when things go wrong. Set goals that have nothing to do with times and numbers. Did you stay composed the whole workout? Did you focus on your own pace, not someone else’s? Did you keep your back set for every deadlift and clean?

In honor of the extra day being added to February this year, this Month’s challenge is to complete 29 Burpees per day, for the 29 days of February. All together it works out to be 841 Burpees total throughout the month.

Although the goal is to do this every day, if you ‘miss’ a day you are allowed to make it up. For the purpose of the challenge we are saying that any Burpees done during a class warm-up / workout do not count...these are extra.

For those participating in our Strong Start Nutrition Challenge the next 8 weeks will be focused on Nutrition and dialing in our diets. For those who aren't participating in the 8 week challenge we still want you to spend on bit of time focusing on Nutrition this month.

It can be something small like trying to cut back on cream & sugar in your coffee, or drinking more water through the day...or it can be a bit more significant like trying to do some meal prep throughout the month, or giving "dry January" a go with Mikey & Kelly.
