We had a great group run today at High Rock. It's good to see the enthusiasm and new faces that joined us today. We start week four of our current cycle tomorrow and there will be some Monkey Wrenches added this week so look out. I want to remind you that it is not necessary to bring yourself to failure every time you train. If a exercise is new to you it is better to do it correctly and perform it without straining. Experience how your body responds to the exercise and adjust it accordingly next week. If you do this for each workout you will have a good gauge of where you are and how you should attack the cycle. This is extremely important for new clients. We cannot make up for a period of inactivity in one workout. Getting in "shape" is a process that occurs over time. This process incorporates many things that include exercise, healthy nutrition, rest and proper alignment. It will not be accomplished in one workout. So be patient. It is also extremely important that we all make an effort to learn the movements that we are performing. To aid in this I will begin to make short videos of the exercises we perform during our workouts. When I get enough done, I will add a page to the website so you can reference them. In addition I have started a skills class on Friday night at 7:30 and Saturday morning at 11:00. Take advantage of this and come in and work on movements that may be giving you trouble. Some of you already have and it has been successful. Kathy E. brought up a good point while discussing her teaching strategy. She said it's her responsibility to teach and her students to learn. So take advantage of the videos and skills class to learn the movements. Enjoy the Super Bowl and Go Giants! Jimmy
