For those of you who are looking at our new B-E-A-utiful ropes and are thinking YIKES! Have no fear I am going to tackle rope climbing this week on Wednesday night along with other things and probably go into it as a quick review again on our first Saturday class. I know, really i do, I was one of those kids who when that rope came out on elementary gym class , I wanted to melt into the ground. I swear to god that and softball where I would swing FOREVER and not hit the damn thing, and the gym teacher let you swing UNTIL you hit it, they were the worse days i can remember. Now I think I get it ropes ARE FUN and will help you in so many ways. You don't need to climb all the way up to see the benefits, for those of you who don't really like heights we can do other things right near the ground. I for one am very excited and happy that Kevin has invested into something so great for all of us.
Rope climbing has always been a popular form of exercise for the training of soldiers ...and with good reason. It was (and is) an excellent method for developing strength and endurance in the entire body that would come in handy for a variety of military maneuvers. If you can't pull yourself up when you need to in a tough situation, you just might be dead meat. I think now a days it is good for the every day person too. Being able to pull yourself up, think about this, just pull yourself up is something we ALL should be able to do.
I hope to see a few of you this week. I will post the workout on Tuesday night, it might end up just skills work and no Metcon WOD we will see how it goes.
I promise not to make you line up like this....... I think my class was right after this one in school.
