Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and think “I’ve been doing this long enough, I know what I’m doing” and then along comes a new exercise or workout format or we’re having a rough day, and all of the sudden we’re feel like we’re back to square one. Don’t get discouraged - pick yourself up and get back on the horse!
On the flip side if you’re bored or not getting sore from the workouts any longer (as if anyone would even admit to that…), maybe the reason is that you’ve become complacent and stopped pushing yourself hard enough! Just think back to your first time through the doors at CF… you were welcomed to the group and earned your spot by pushing yourself and being accountable to your team. Keep that spirit alive and welcome today’s newbies in the same way!
…to choose what you’re bringing to Friday’s Halloween party! Matt D channeled his inner creative monster to create a skeleton with various bones assigned to party items (desserts, appetizers, etc). Please pick a bone and let us know what you’re bringing. Also please let us know (you can comment here or write on the skeleton white board) who’s attending so we can prepare for the numbers. It’s sure to be a good time after the FNL workout,and remember the theme: TV / Movie Character!
Fitzy’s run is a great annual event put on by CFer Mike Fitzgerald. It’s a fun run for the family and a great community event benefiting Lauren’s Foundation. Find out more here or register day of! There is also a silent auction, costume contest, and a health services fair. The event begins at a new location this year: the Stone House Park in Wyomissing.
Because maybe she’s just a little tougher than you are! Check out this group of jump-ropers (or would it be jumpers-rope), and then tell me again how hard double unders are? Anyone who can do 8 straight minutes of jump rope along with other acrobatics mixed in wins in my book…

If Ron Burgundy was into working out (which I don’t think he is), I’m sure he would agree that form is key. Any time you are moving a weight, remember to maintain your form. Even if it’s during workout set up or clean up. It’s all about functional movement - the movements you do during the ‘work period’ of class prepare you for these other everyday movements!
Do you prefer solo or team sports? Studies suggest that group workouts may be the way to go. CF is unique in providing the best of both worlds: everyone is accountable to the team, but it’s also very much on the individual to push herself / himself to get the most out of every workout. The individual effort and group camaraderie combine to provide the best of both worlds!
