Sunny Days

Beautiful day inside and outside!

The morning moms were kicking butt as usual. For those of you that are unaware, we started some classes for a Moms Group from Niskayuna they come every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30am, these classes are open for all of our members as well. Theresa did great on a 20 minute WOD of 7 45# jerks, 7 65# deadlifts, and 7 15# DB Squats, awesome!

Lenora (from now on known as ID), Beth, Sue, John, and Chris did nice at the noon class. Id and Beth hit some serious squats, while John and Chris did "Lynne". Chris hit some high reps with bodyweight and was really putting his kip together. Guess what he realized…hitting full extension on the pullups actually helps!

I had a quick break so Niki and I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and did "Helen" at the park. Niki hit a new PR with 14:42 and looked great on her 35# KB swings. I set a little PR myself with 9:36. I look forward to lots of outdoor training as the spring rolls in…

Evening classes were lots of fun. The kids came in for a 4th day in a row…I’m so proud of them! Courtney did a kick a@@ JT after complaining her legs were too tired. We had some very nice "Helen" times from Camille, Angie, Chad, Jen, Jody, Marie, and Cara.

Front squats are so important for Clean development. You can’t clean a weight unless you can front squat it and Jess, Viv, and Laura did a great job hitting them. Jen, Jen, and Whitney did some heavy push jerks, their form is developing very well. Front squats weren’t enough for Jess and Viv they followed with a super strong "Karen" with both of them setting big PRs.

Please always give me any comments are feedback you have. I always look forward to hearing from everyone and want to continue to make Albany CrossFit the best and most fun place to get fit in the in World!
