Finished up 100 Mile trail run on Sunday. Leg's feel pretty good. Time to get it going again. Guy's, I've gotta tell ya, there is nothing more empowering than getting out there and pushing your body. The human body is meant to be pushed and prodded, it's not meant to sit in a dark cubicle and punch a key board all day. Have fun with it. Punch the gas, squeal the tires! Your body will take you there and beyond if you push it!
Outdoor Fitness Class
Wednesdays are our Cardio days. It's the middle of the week and all downhill from here. Get out there, burn a few calories, clear your head and have fun. We generally meet as a group at 6 AM and run for an hour together. Whether it be running, cycling or swimming, grab some friends and go!

- Barbell front raises
- Close-grip bench presses

Gut Check Workout
- Squat-curl-presses w/20-50lb db's
- Push-ups - feet elevated - one foot on the bench at a time - slow and touch
- Bench dips - rotate foot on the ground - slow and touch

Hope you enjoy the workout. Push yourself. Get out there today and do something physical that you've only been thinking about. Like run a few more miles or do a few more push-ups. Challenge yourself! Have fun!
