Motivation
I love to hear reports from parents in our kids class about the improved confidence of their children.  What these parents see is the same thing I see in many of you.  At the end of our kids class we have them recite “Good, Better, Best.  Never let it rest.  Until your good is better and your better is best.”  I also have them repeat after me, “When I fall down, I’ll get back up and try again.  
 
Strength
 Everyone will be doing Press.
Workout Strategy
Your level is based on your time to complete the workout today.  Technique, technique, technique.  There are a lot of repetitions today.  Good technique will allow you to move through the workout at a steady pace.  For lunges we want your trail knee to lightly touch the ground.  Keep your weight on the heel of your front foot.  Keep your shoulders up and drive your hips forward at the top of the movement.  For the squats it is important to keep your upper body in a good postural position.  It requires more work for your legs to move a sloppy upper body.  Keep your knees out and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.  Remember we want to get as many muscles involved in the movement as possible.  Supermans: flex your lower back and extend your arms straight out in front of you bringing them about 12 inches off the ground.  Bring your straight legs about 8-10 inches off the ground behind you.  Lower yourself in a controlled manner.  Stay positive and ignore the burn.  If you want a good score than don’t get lost in your rest.  Every second can make a difference.
