CVCF Stowe Bowl!

As you all know we put out a schedule for the year of events which covers a good portion of the year except for right now. We’ve worked to get something put together which will be super fun for everyone. We’ve reserved Stowe Bowl, in Stowe to get some food and bowling in and a great time with everyone. Details… – Time 5:00-7:00 PM on Saturday, March 2nd. We can’t encourage enough, don’t show-up fashionably late. We have the entire venue reserved for us. However, at 7:00 PM it will open back-up to the public, so we’d encourage, if anything, you show-up 15-20 minutes early to maximize the time you paid for. – Cost includes rental of the venue, ball, shoes, food, tax and tip. It won’t be a full dinner, but there should be ample food to snack on and possibly fill-up…

New Squat Cycle

We’ve mentioned in class the last week that we will rotating into a different block of squat work. Going forward for the next 12 weeks we will be focusing predominately on Single Leg work on Monday’s. Something we have certainly made a part of our Monday programming in the past but not the dominant force. With this block we’ll be looking one to strengthen up your legs in a uni-lateral fashion which will hopefully help work out some in-balances, but also this will give your body a break by stepping back from the heavy loading, at least in terms of squatting for a little bit. Through this block you will have 3 strength oriented pieces on Monday that will look like this…. 1 – Base: This is our large mover and building block movement for the 12 weeks.
