Next time you come into the box you will see a few new things like some shiny posters and a few more mobility toys by the mobility stack. This is part of our new mobility initiative that is starting Monday, August 4. Monday from 5pm-5:15pm Sarah and Flav will be leading our first official mobility class. Short and to the point, the purpose of these classes is to introduce you to proper personal maintenance. The picture above has two particularly awesome parts, the list and the quote. I love these because they couldn’t be more true.
Mobility class will be Monday as well as Wednesday from 5:30pm-5:45pm. Both times will have different content and will be focused on the programming for that week, either what was behind or what is ahead. The goal is not just to get you ready for class but to give you lasting information about the world of mobility. What many people, including coaches, don’t understand is mobility isn’t stretching. Mobility is body maintenance not prevention. The biggest mistake WE ALL make is that we don’t mobilize until something hurts or until we are actually hurt. Then we take time off, work on mobility, get better, and then stop until the next time we get hurt. It’s insane but true and WE ALL do it.
These classes will introduce a new mobility project or two at a time, things that will not only be applicable then but for you to then take with you for homework or when you are early for class or staying late. The goal is to develop a real program here at CrossFit Lando that will truly help our community be and stay healthy. This is for all levels of people too. Beginners need this because what you are going through is probably unlike anything you have before so you need to combat the new tissue changes you are experiencing every time you are here. Veterans and especially competitors, well, basically you should know better. Mobility is JUST AS IMPORTANT as your workout and your diet. Honestly it might be more important because if you don’t keep up on it eventually you will get hurt. Being hurt nullifies your workouts and makes your diet not less important but makes it have less of an impact.
So classes Monday 5:00-5:15pm and Wednesday 5:30-5:45pm, and we will also be having monthly hour long mobility workshops the first Wednesday of each month. This will be at 6pm in place of the 6pm CrossFit class. The first one will be this Wednesday, August 6. There will be no mobility class at 5:30 on these days. The weekly mobility class will not change Open Gym, they will just run within it, and they will be just like Open Gym in a sense that they are a “free” class that doesn’t count against your membership. The monthly workshop will be free of charge and similarly not count against your membership.
Let’s get mobile people!!
