CrossFit Nucleus, CrossFit Nucleus – CrossFit
Warm-up
Every year we embark on a 5 week fitness test/journey known as the CrossFit Games Open! Although none of us will probably make it to the next stage I like to think of this as our “Super Bowl”. It gives us a reason to train hard all year then gives us a chance to test our fitness and actually ask ourselves have we have stayed committed all year long to make significant improvements in our fitness levels. I completely understand those who don’t care as much about the Open as others but our program the next 5 weeks will focus on active recovery, mobility, stretching, and very light cardio to flush our body so we cann perform optimally on Friday for the Open workout tests! It may be boring but it will help us on Friday, so come in move a little, hang out, work on poor positions, (front rack, squat depth, overhead lockout, etc…) and let’s get ready for Friday!!!
** and if you want to make up a workout or do your own thing because you’re not in the Open it can be kind of an open gym day as well.**
