It's been awhile!

We miss you Scott! Study diligently!

Dad and Scott

Fun Friday!



This is dedication! He actually said it felt pretty nice. This was the storm that brought in a cold front last night. Was pretty hot and sticky before the storm! Jamie is one of our leaders in the Lifestyle Challenge contest, along with Jolynn, Renee, and George! 40 point weeks!

Lifestyle Challenge


There are a bunch of us interested in changing something about our lifestyle. Some of us would like to change our diet habits. Some of want to change our sleep habits. Some of us need to work on flexibility, consistency, etc., etc.

We are going to have an 8 week long contest starting Sept. 4 and going until Oct. 30. Each participant will choose 3 items to focus on, at least one fitness related, and at least one diet related.

Each participant will receive 30 points each week. Every "cheat" will deduct 5 points from the weekly score. Yes, it is possible to get a negative score for the week!

We will also do 2 benchmark workouts the first and last week of the challenge. 10 points will be awarded to the participant who makes the most improvement on each workout.

Participants will also be awarded an extra 10 points for each week with no cheats.

You set up your own goals and rules, and the rest of us will hold you accountable. Weekly goal sheets will be turned in at the gym every week so that a running score tally can be posted.

If you have a weight loss goal and you achieve it, 10 points will be awarded. You must weigh in at the gym at the beginning and end of the challenge.

For example, this is what I am setting up for myself:

Diet:
More than one 6 oz. glass of wine, 12 oz beer, or one mixed drink (1.5 oz liquor) is a cheat.

Fitness:
Daily stretching for at least 10 min. Anything less is a cheat.
Giving myself an extra opportunity to cheat:
Less than 1 crossfit workout per week is a cheat
Less than 2 lifting sessions per week is a cheat
Less than 22K per week on the rower is a cheat


Other:
less than 8 hours of sleep in 24 hour period is a cheat

Set up a check sheet in excel. If you need help with this let me know.

$20 to enter. Winner takes all!
Highest score wins. In the event of a tie, the pot will be split.

Reminder!

The gym is open on Saturday mornings! Several of you missed workouts this week, so come on in and make one up!
Matt won't be here on Saturday mornings any more so you'll have to deal with me :)

Gym Gnome!


Karen won this at a PL meet. It didn't quite fit in with the decor of her house, so she donated it to the gym! Naming contest??? And I think he needs a pointy hat!
Sue, rocking the deadlift! 5# over her most recent max, for doubles!

Gym closed tomorrow!


The gym will be closed tomorrow. Matt cannot cover and it is too late for me to reschedule my class. So sorry for the inconvenience!!




Thursday, August 9, 2012

Clarification!

 
The gym will be open tomorrow morning! The afternoon hours will begin at 5:00 PM. Matt asks that you show up at 5:00 or 6:00 as he intends to have a class format.

Sunday, August 5, 2012

I'm back! And another slight schedule change...

Be nice to this guy. He is going to be an officer of the law soon.
These pictures don't really do it justice, tossing a KB overhead is a blast!!

Yeah! Neal is back! Tim is happy!


Slight schedule change this week. The gym will not be open until 5 PM on Friday. Matt is covering for me so I can go to a motorcycle safety course with John. Matt will also be covering the gym on Saturday!

Update on next weeks schedule



Next weeks schedule:
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: Classes at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30
Matt asks that you show up on time for these classes as he will need to finish up in order to start the next class. This is a rest week for your lifting program. Matt will be focusing on skill development. I know he's really big and scary, but he does know how to scale the workout to your ability. I hope you all take advantage of these classes. Matt has put some time and effort into planning them.
Matt will also be offering a class at 8 PM on Thursday night, which again, can be scaled to your ability. Crossfit Geneseo will have no open hours Friday or Saturday next week.
Everything returns to normal July 30.

As always, Crossfit Geneseo members are welcome at Dansville Fitness Club when I am on vacation. JP also operates a class schedule so you need to call or text him to join a class.

And as always there are the vacation workouts (link on the left). If you do these please record your time and report back to me!

Some of you could use a rest week, some of you need to take advantage of the above opportunities. You know who you are :)

My vacation


I will be out of town July 22-29.
Matt will be covering the gym on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The gym will be closed Thursday through Saturday, and there will be no morning classes.
Matt will be running a class format on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There will be a class at 5 PM, 6 PM and 7 PM. It will not be the drop in format that we usually run. Matt has some fun and interesting ideas for these classes, so I strongly encourage you to attend!

Other options for getting your workout in while I am gone are to do some of the vacation workouts that are linked on the left hand side of this blog, and going to DFC. Members of Crossfit Geneseo are welcome to work out at DFC when I am on vacation, and vice versa. Just hit JP up with a text or a phone call if you want to join in on one of his classes. He is a fun guy. I guarantee it!

I will be back Monday July 30, well rested, and ready to ruin an hour of your day ;)

Pictures!

Ok, I'll throw this ball, but I'm not so sure about the burpees


Miche, marvelous crooner, who did a fantastic job in the gym today!


The dogs think everyone comes here to see them. Maybe they do. Hmmm.



Great job today Jolynn! I know it was tough and you stuck it out!

News!

We had a really fun workout on July 4!

I will be on vacation July 22-29. Matt will be able to cover some evening hours in the gym while I am gone and I will post them as soon as we nail the schedule down.
Other options: Via a long term reciprocal relationship, Crossfit Geneseo members are always welcome at Dansville Fitness Club and vice versa (no charge). Check the DFC website for schedule and contact info for JP. Also, on the left hand side of the blog there is a link to "Vacation workouts", or you can take a week off and just do some yard work or play with your kids.

October 13 and 14 we will be hosting a Practical Strength for Trainers seminar!

July 23-28

I am going on vacation! My daughter Laura and I will be spending a glorious week on the beach in Cape Cod....or intently reading on our Kindles in the cottage, depending on the weather. Either way, I won't be here. Matt may be able to offer some limited classes. More info to follow as it gets closer.

This Saturday, June 23, is the CrossFit Rochester Games! 4 of our members have registered to compete. Scott Schuster, Matt Higgins, Kerry Hanley and Alexa Andrade. I will be closing the gym on Saturday so that I can go cheer them on. If anyone else wants to come along, let me know! These events are always a good time with great people!

Tyler is back from the wilds of Newfoundland, sadly without any bear meat. We'll have to wait for next year for the Barn Bear BBQ.

More this and that.....

I'm a big fan of meat, but this is neat info on the protein content of vegetables!

Love this blog post!

Tim always enjoys doing a little Bench Press coaching.



Matt and Casey are attending a Crossfit Strongman Seminar on Saturday! Can't wait for them to share what they learn with us! I'm thinking we're going to have some bigger Atlas stones around here pretty soon!

Scott and Matt are competing in the Crossfit Rochester Games on June 23. I will be closing the gym that day so I can go up there and cheer them on! Anyone else that wants to go, let me know! We can carpool!

Change of plans!


I will NOT be going out of town this weekend so the gym will be open on Saturday from 8-11 AM. Matt's 12:00 class is cancelled this Saturday. He is attending a Strongman seminar. I'm really looking forward to him sharing all he learns with us!
Also, John's Regents exams are earlier than we thought, so morning hours will be unaffected.
