Good Habits
Now that it's getting hotter, all of the doors will be open. Please, please use the lounge door to enter the box, even if a class is not taking place. Entering through the lounge door is a good habit to get in, and to adhere to. Walking in the "front" door could be dangerous if Helen or a packed Grace is going on.
Please make sure that you show up on time. Showing up on time doesn't mean walking in at 10:00 and you still have to change your clothes. Being on time means ready to go, on the black, at 10:00. And if you are late, it's difficult for your coach to be flexible if you're sauntering up at 10:04. We realize that life happens, but you need to make the effort! Being late becasue you're talking on your cell phone outside will result in a double penalty! We pack a lot of programming in to the 60 minutes that we have you, and you need the full 60 minutes to reap the rewards. And remember, it's a 5 burpee penalty each minute, and this applies to coaches and interns as well. I've been know to do some burpees as a coach if I'm lollygagging. What's good for the goose is good for the gander!!
Lastly, please take complete notes in your journals, including times and weights used. Besides the actual workout, your journal is the most useful tool you have to improve your fitness and strength. If you need help in figuring out how to record a workout, simply ask your coach. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions!
How late were these guys!

Good to workout with you Daron. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be seeing you at the 5:30am session!

Being a big fan of sleep, but not a regular recipient of it, I’m not a fan of working out that early either. But it works well with my schedule and doesn’t take away family time, so I’ve forced myself to do it.
The great thing about it is that, by 7:00 every morning, I’ve already faced the day’s toughest challenges, physically and often mentally, so the rest of the day is a piece of cake! (err, uuh, steak, for you paleo-ers)
