Hey guys,
It’s a warm and beautiful Sunday here in Burlington North Carolina and time for the CrossFit Simplicity Weekly Rundown! We had an amazing week last week and I’m excited to turn around and do the same thing as we roll into a new month! We have officially wrapped up two months of our NBD programming and the results have been next level! Congratulations to all of you guys that have gotten your first double unders, strict pull up, or handstand push-up! If you’re not quite there yet just trust the process and stick to these progressions and it will come! We have some really great programming for week nine so let’s dive in below!
- AMRAP 4 Autism: What a blast! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and participated in our A4A event! We raised a lot of money and had a lot of fun for this amazing cause. As soon as I have a final count from the organization I’ll shoot out an email letting everyone know just how much money we raised and how much we were able to donate to our local organization: Abundant Life Christian Ministries. Again thank you guys so much for showing up physically and financially and being a part of this great community!
- New Shirts: It’s past due! I’ll send out a survey to see what everyone is feeling as far as colors!

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.
*If you use a fitness device that tracks your heart rate, you want to work in HR Zone 3.

Time to bring this thing to a close! It’s looking like another great week of training here at CFS! I know it’s hot out here these days so please do your best to prepare. Start hydrating as soon as you wake up, get plenty of sodium and electrolytes, and manage your performance expectations when you feel a little drained. You guys have been doing an amazing job of being consistent so keep it up. We really love the dedication to the new programming and we are seeing some really amazing results out of you all. No doubt this will be an awesome Open season for us her at the gym! Now get plenty of rest, relaxation… And hydration so we can hit it hard this week. See you all in class!
