Down By the River

Met up with some of our Red Dawn pals this AM at Salem Park for a great warm up, some skill work, and a 25 minute AMRAP WOD.

We started out with some lunges and quick jogs back into line to get the heart rate up and muscles warmed up. Then we did some work with front squats and recognizing areas of improvement or hindrance. Biggest thing to remember - tight butt, tight gut - something I have not kept in mind for awhile. Your muscles are the cast of your body and protect us from injury. The WOD consisted of the following, keeping conscious of a tight core all the while:

  • 8 PVC front squats
  • Weight Plate Carry across the lot
  • 5 Burpees
  • Run from the lot up to the top of the hill near the lot on Apperson/Electric and back ~ 0.45mi
  • (Repeat)

Wish I could remember how many rounds I got through, but I know I ended on 5/8 front squats.

It was great to see some of the faces we were so used to seeing many 5:30ams of the past to bring some things we tend forget back to light for our minds and bodies.

Takeaway of the day: invest in PVC pipes, reallllly pay attention to your body and work on trouble areas before they become worse or permanent injuries, and as always: TIGHT BUTT, TIGHT GUT!

Looking forward to the next time!
