We are doing an experiment this January. We believe that appropriate mobility is a major contributing factor to performance. As you know, we already have a mobility class on Thursday at 7 PM, but we are going to add a class on Monday at 7 PM to see if we can get more people enjoying more mobility and overall suppleness. Hope to see you next Monday or Thursday at 7 PM. Your attendance is your vote on if we should keep both classes or just one.
Since we are a school, I thought I should offer office hours. So starting today, you can make an appointment on the scheduler on either Wednesday from 5 – 6 PM and Thursday from 6:30 – 7 PM. I am doing this for several reasons. First and foremost, I want Mad Dawg Fitness to be the leader in strength and conditioning instruction on the Peninsula. To do that, I think I need to do more instruction with different athletes and I need to know what athletes are having a hard time with and where we, as a gym, need to focus instruction. You are welcome to talk about anything, our programming, diet or why the new girl doesn’t want to share a bar with you, it is a blank slate… for now. We can also work on a skill like handstand push-ups or squatting or different ways to take care of your creaky shoulder. I am looking forward to working with you. If these times don’t suit you, or you want to request another coach, I know Susan is way easier to look at and the other coaches have different experience and talents, please let me know and we’ll see what we can do.
I’m always impressed at the continual effort you guys put in to creating the most complete and fulfilling experience possible for your athlete students (student-athletes?)
Best of luck in the new year! Wish I was there! I’ve definitely got a lot of work to do on myself, the move has not been kind to my motivation. Dusting off the old Push-up Challenge as a first step…
We wish you were here, too, Kris!
Kris, We miss you and Reni! Consider this program instead of the push-up challenge, try this, tinyhabits.com. I am starting Jan 14. If you do the push-up challenge for 14 days you will only get in 105 push-ups, if you do the tiny habits routine, and your anchor happens 5 times a day and you do only 5 push-ups, you will get more push-ups in and it is safer for your shoulders. If you continue for all hundred days, you will only do half as many push-ups but I bet your shoulders will thank you AND you will probably do more push-ups in a years time. Check it out! We’ve already got a few people starting on Jan 14.
Thanks for the suggestion, I went to the page but I’m not quite sure what you are supposed to do/learn there. Just register and he emails you each day for a week?
Yes, you register, but he tells you how to form a tiny habit, then he checks up on you with an email everyday. Sign-up it is easy and only takes 20 min. Susan and I started today.
