Wednesday October 30th – Mobility with Dr. Jorge 
Dr. Jorge is our resident Chiropractor and will be putting on a Mobility Seminar next Wednesday, October 30th at 6:00 PM in the small gym.  He will be incorporating a mobility massage ball to help you take care of your muscles.  The cost of the class which come with the mobility ball is $10.  Sign up on the Events board in the gym.  If possible you should attend.  Aches and pains should not persist.  If we take care of ourselves we should be pain free.  I din’t say sore free but pain free.
 
Motivation
One of the big hopes of writing these motivational thoughts is to encourage us to look at the world differently.  To push ourselves to be better.  You are more capable than you can imagine.  Knowing that we must struggle in order to succeed.  That by working out in the gym will allow us to be more successful outside.  That we may learn to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses.  That we may see the good in everyone.  That we may look at one another with understanding and compassion.  We all have our struggles.  We need not compete with one another but work together that we may both be better.  One of the troubles I see with the world today is that someone else has to suffer in order for one side to gain.  There is so much contention over the most trivial of things.  May we strive to live a life that has a purpose and a direction. One that allows for our own growth and the growth of all those around us.  Do the little things consistently that will help us reach these goals.    

“If we see healthy eating and exercise as something only our doctor expects of us, we will likely fail. If we see these choices as who we are and who we want to become, we have a greater chance of staying the course and succeeding.” Uchtdorf

 

Strength
Week 2 of your new Strength Program.  Everyone is doing front squats today.  Add 2.5 pounds to each side for a total of 5 pound more than last week.  The focus on the early part of this program is on technique and range of motion.
 Workout Strategy
Let’s keep Monday simple and focus on the basics.  Keep a steady pace.  The goal is to keep our average power output as high as possible.  Try to complete each set of 10 reps in a set about of time (30, 40, 50 seconds etc).  Some exercises may be faster than others.  Keep an eye on the clock and a steady pace for each movement.
