Recommended training day for sectionals athletes; tomorrow recommended rest day
This workout should take approximately 45 minutes. Classes will still begin on the hour, but you should plan to finish a little later than usual if you can. Please help your coaches move things along expediently for the sake of the rest of the group.
On Tuesday morning, I asked Danielle whether she had recently tried a pullup. She said it had been several months since she tried. After a 5 second kipping tutorial, Danielle proceeds to get on the bar and do 3 beautiful kipping pullups. She’s a natural. That same day, she also completed a set of 4 and a set of 5 – on her first day kipping!!! Congrats Danielle! Here’s the video…
It seems Kimberly was inspired by the copious amounts of shrimps ingested this week by yours truly…
The weather is almost tropical, here’s some recipes to match.
I was craving something a little different this week and Tania’s travel posts inspired me to buy some shrimp and find a new recipe to go with them. I found a tasty looking recipe on one of my favorite paleo food blogs from CF Santa Cruz Central. They’re a little labour intensive but well worth it and a nice change from the usual pork/beef/chicken + veggie meals. I squeezed some fresh lime juice on the shrimp before serving to add some kick, avocado slices would be a nice addition too.
The “Meat at the Forks” meatshop at The Forks sells Andouille sausage (and other nitrate-free bacon and sausage products). In a pinch I’m sure Chorizo or Italian spicy sausage would work too.
