Monday 3 September
It will be andfit’s 1st Birthday on the 4th of October. Please save the afternoon of Saturday the 6th of October in your diary as we’ll be having drinks and nibbles to celebrate. Then on the following Monday 8 October we’ll be kicking off our 8 week NO BREAD (this is an umbrella term that will include a bunch of things not just bread (-: ) challenge. This is going to be an awesome 8 weeks. We’ll be taking a bunch of measurements and will be doing a few benchmark workouts at the start and again at the end of the challenge. The big prize will be announced a bit closer to the time.
Strength:
Every minute for 10min do 5 heavy unbroken Jerks. They can be push jerks or split jerks. We will not be using squat racks, the bar needs to be cleaned from the ground to start the jerks (clean can be a power clean or a squat clean). Choose a weight that is challenging for 5 reps and stick with the weight for all 10 rounds.

Double Unders – Feels so good when they are going well, but brings out the ugly side in us when they go wrong!
Team I’m pumped on how many of you are getting the hang of double unders! If you have not yet mastered them, here are the key thing to focus on: 1)Tuck the elbows in close to the body – it keeps the rope long. 2) Keep the hands slightly out in front of the body. 3) Keep the feet together and stay in one spot. 4) The jump does not have to be that high, but the wrist needs to move faster! Keep the tension on that rope. 5) Do not leave the box until you have done some!
For time:
60/45kg Thruster, 15 reps
Run 200 meters
45/30kg Thruster, 20 reps
Run 400 meters

CrossFit Endurance
If you are interested in running longer distances, maybe planning on doing a 10km, half marathon or even a marathon, you need to start following Bryan Mackenzie from CrossFit Endurance. The guy is a genius and their training methods are changing the running world. Below are a few videos to watch if you are interested. Also jump on crossfitendurance.com. You’ll learn about running mechanics, proper hydration, how CrossFit training will make you a better and safer runner and you might even hear something controversial along the lines of, you don’t have to run for hours and hours to become a better runner… I like the sound of that! I’m doing my CrossFit Endurance Certification in October, so we’ll certainly be spending more time learning how to run better. In the meantime come and join us at AndRun endurance club 5:30 on Wednesday nights.
Best video to watch is on the CrossFit Journal:
