Hey guys,
You already know what time it is! It’s “Sun”day here in Burlington North Carolina and time for the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! Of course we have an excellent week in store for you guys. You all did excellent on our last six week lifting cycle where we really emphasized positions throughout our lives as well as strength in those positions. We are starting a new lifting phase where I will be working on developing some speed and power, as well as getting generally stronger in our squat, bench, and press. It’s going to be excellent! As always we have some really solid conditioning work and gymnastic skills paired alongside this so that we can continue to develop and become well rounded in our fitness! Let’s check it out…
- AMRAP for Autism: Our A4A event will be Saturday July 29th at 10am! Sign up details coming tomorrow!
- It’s hot! This is just a quick reminder to stay hydrated throughout the day, before and after your workouts!

Zone 3 AMRAPs are intended to be completed at a sustainable pace. Move through this workout at an intensity that feels challenging yet sustainable for the full time domain. You should pick a pace that you may be able to say a few words in but likely cannot hold full conversation. If you are focused, you should be able to breathe in and out of your nose for the majority of the time.

Well that’s all she wrote today. Hope everyone is excited and geared up for the start of a new week and the start of a new lifting cycle! I just want to say that I am extremely proud of everyone and all the progress you guys have been making. We have seen so many improvements aerobically and gymnastically. So many of you have gotten your first double unders, handstand push-ups, and pull-ups. It’s encouraging to see this progress. Remember these progressions depend on your consistency in class as well as inputting your results in the system so that we have numbers to build from. Keep up the good work! Now get plenty of rest, relaxation, and recovery so we can hit it hard this week. See you all in class!
