Hey guys,
It’s a beautiful Sunday in Burlington North Carolina and time for the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! We are in week four of our current cycle and you guys are absolutely crushing the program! This is a two phase cycle. Weeks 1-3 was phase one and weeks 4-6 are phase two. This means we are starting phase two with some new complexes! These will be an eccentric phase so another great chance to work on positions. Remember that whether it be lifting, gymnastics, or aerobic conditioning we need to focus on building a proper base and foundation that we can grow from in the future! We also have some great gymnastics and conditioning work for you guys this week and we are closing out the month of June. Lots of great stuff all around! Let’s dive in…

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.
