CROSSFIT FAMILY CLASSES RETURN TO THE COVE

Things have been busy at the Cove but it is time to re-ignite our CrossFit Family classes!  These are classes where you and your child will do a workout together. The focus of these classes is to teach children fundamental movements, learn about the joys of exercise, bond as a family and just have fun.  We will be running them at the 10 AM classes on June 13th, 20, and 27th.  They are FREE to all members but feel free to bring friends with kids who you think would enjoy it.  It is all part of our free week trial we continue to offer.

“WHAT’S YOUR FRAN TIME?”

When you get a group of CrossFitters together, one of questions that usually comes up is “what’s your Fran time?”.  Fran is probably THE quintessential “Girl” workout and we’re psyched to be doing it for the first time at the Cove on Tuesday.  It’s a common CF rep scheme of 21-15-9 (with Thrusters and Pull Ups) and few things will fill you with such dread and excitement as Fran! For you CrossFit nerds out there, here’s the full story of how she came to be:

  Monday we will continue to build on our Clean strength cycle. We’ll being doing six sets of one rep.  You should challenge yourself with a weight comparable to (or more than!) your prior one rep max.  Drop the weight each time from the top (you do not need to control the descent) and focus on a strong pull while maintaining good positions.  Continue to focus on opening up the hips entirely before pulling up your arms (as we say “when the elbow bends the power ends!”)
