Monday Motivation: Don’t wish for it, work for it!
It’s June, people! And IT’S HOT!
Ways to acclimate to the heat:
- Well….it’s not sitting in the AC all day and then coming to the box and being in the heat 1 hour a day – make yourself spend time (start slow) in the heat – trust us, your body will thank you.
- Hydrate. Drink before, during and after your workouts.
- Mind your sweat rate and ensure you’re replacing the essential electrolytes if you sweat a lot: salt, potassium, magnesium, calcium…
- Wear lightweight, breathable clothing.
- Consider a cooling towel.
- Take breaks and find a fan.
Okay – so our Monday three rounds will have us working on:
- wall balls
- plate ground to overhead
- farmer carries
Then, in teams to break up the rest and help with rep counting, we’ll tackle some AMRAPs of pushups, body rows and squats – leaning into our gymnastics strength.
Solid Monday. You get a gold star for showing up today! 🙂
