The Fun Part
Submitted by David Weaver on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 7:54am
Testing phase is definitely a fun time. All of the hard work you've been putting in is put to the test. You get to cross off some goals, get closer to other goals and cheer on others while they put forth their best! Achievements big or small are all recognized. While some might not seem like much, they are still very important. Each small step moves you forward on this journey called fitness! Here are some successes from last week. More will be posted, as we have lots to celebrate!
Amy getting setup for her deadlift. She lifted her own bodyweight, and improved greatly on her other tests.
Linda also getting a big deadlift PR. She also nailed 60 CONSECUTIVE situps in a row as well as passing her row test!
Kyle - always has his eyes closed in the pictures concentrating hard. Kyle works very hard every time he comes and crushed his tests!
Jehrod starting to tap into some incredible power! He nailed the 500m row test with the fastest time of the day.
Jason lifting big weights. Highest deadlift of the day and ran an impressive 400m later in the week!
There are more great people in this class making great progress. More pictures in the future!
