We've been working with some new ideas for the programming, and we've seen good results so far...so now it's your turn. There's nothing crazy going on - just a small change to the strength cycle that we think will clear up some questions, help new people acclimate a little faster, and help you self-adjust for those days when you're feeling fantastic and those days when you just don't have that much to give. The entire point is to have fun and consistently make progress...so grab your journal (seriously, you NEED TO KEEP A JOURNAL) and come in ready to work.

NOTE: if you're doing the Paleo Challenge,

You must register TODAY, before midnight.
Stand in front of your mirror at home TODAY and take a "before" picture (for your eyes only unless you decide to share it after the challenge).
Sign up on the whiteboard to get your measurements taken and log that data into your Lurong account before the deadline.
Join our private Facebook group "CFH Lurong Paleo Challenge" so we can use this as a communication tool throughout the challenge.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Paleo Challenge workout details as we figure out dates/times so we can have judges available for everyone.

Strength: Press

Conditioning:
4 Rounds
Run 400m
20 Pull-Ups
Rest 1:1

For those of you not in class last night, here's the big surprise...we now have LOCKERS for you! Of course, with your new toys come new rules like 'no smelly stuff'...'no food'...'don't leave your shaker bottles in there'...'these are everyone's to share, so no, you may not customize them'...etc. The cubes are still available for your shoes, journals, etc, but if you'd like to bring a lock and secure your valuables while you're in class, go for it (leave it UNLOCKED when you're not here, though).

Don't forget - after class today, head downtown and check out the annual Cumberland River Dragon Boat Festival. Your coaches will be on one of the Nashville Rugby Club boats.
