Happy Easter

Enjoyed the Reichert/Marquette family gatherings in Northwest Ohio with Lindsay. Easter is a great time to connect, reflect, and relax.

Lindsay somehow got me to go for a run between feasts, bur needless to say we will need to re-commit to our fitness routine tomorrow!

Pictured a few shots from a hike with the kids last week.

Also putting in a plug for joining a CROSSFIT GYM - below you will find the description of what the Foundations (starter) class is like at our gym:

May Foundations will start Monday, May 2nd at 7:30pm.

This program is for the individual that wants to ramp up into our fast paced group CrossFit classes. This class will meet 3 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks, with a limit of 10 people per class. The movement curriculum is sequential and attendance to all sessions is fundamental to your gaining the necessary proficiency and preparation for our group workout of the day classes.

During the Foundations Program, we are going to want to know a little more about you. We will be conducting assessments in order to understand you, your personal goals, current health, concerns or up and coming competitions. Once we have some understanding of your needs, we can help you achieve your goals.

Additionally, you will receive a comprehensive understanding of the CrossFit program. We'll introduce, refine technique and discuss range of motion requirements for the following movements:

• Squats: air squat, front squat, overhead squat, back-squat
• Presses: shoulder press, push press, push jerk
• Power movements: deadlift, sumo deadlift high pull, ball clean
• Olympic movements: clean and jerk, snatch
• Gymnastics: pull-up, push-ups, burpees, ring dips, muscle-ups, handstands, L-sits etc..
• Other common movements: thrusters, wall ball, kettlebell swings, rowing, box jumps, jump roping.

We’ll also introduce you to our way of eating – The Zone and Paleo concepts. If you aren't ready for The Zone, do not despair, there are easier ways to get started on the track to healthier choices. Nutrition is often overlooked when training, but to us it is the foundation of fitness. Though you don't need to follow a nutritional program to be a part of CrossFit Verve, we want you to look and feel good, so we want you to get in the Zone.

The Cost for this class is $225. Call or e-mail (720-CFV-7783 or info@crossfitverve.com) to get signed for the following classes:

May 2nd through May 26th, meeting M/T/TH at 7:30pm
