Hey guys,
It’s Sunday, a beautiful Sunday here in Burlington North Carolina, and time for the Crossfit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! It is an exciting time here at CFS as we just wrapped up our first week on our new NBD Affiliate program! We got so much amazing feedback from all you guys it sounds like everyone is loving it. The main thing we heard voiced, besides praise, was the time. This is a lot more work than we are used to fitting into an hour so we are going to make a few adjustments as we move forward. Also, as you guys get more efficient and used to staying on task and transitioning from piece to piece, and your coaches get more accustomed to the programming this will smooth itself out as well! Lastly remember to scale things back where needed in order to finish the work and maintain the stimulus. This program is not designed to be hit 100% max effort every day, specifically talking about the conditioning pieces. You will have longer more aerobic pieces that you will need to pace! I have emailed out some conversion and scaling charts and these will also be posted around the gym soon! Don’t hesitate to reach out to myself, one of your coaches, or Nick and Nick if you have any questions! Now let’s dive into this week.
- AMRAP for Autism: The A4A event has been moved to late July! This is a workout/competition that we will be hosting at the gym to raise money for autism research. we decided to back the event up in order to give you guys more time to prepare, build a team, and fundraise! Be on the lookout for more details soon!

Zone 4 AMRAPs are intended to be completed at a “reach” pace. Move through this workout at an intensity that feels challenging for the full time domain. Your pace should make this workout feel difficult but should not leave you feeling depleted by the end (hint: if you are laying on the floor and gasping for air after this, you missed the stimulus. Similarly, if you feel like you are able to hold a conversation during the workout, you missed the stimulus on the opposite end of the spectrum).If you are focused, you should be able to breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth for the majority of the time.
