Hi,
Welcome to the flux blog. There has been tremendous energy at flux since I released you from the basement. In this transition from the basement to the garage, most of us actually gained strength in a number of areas. Even though we did not have access to pull up bars or box jumps many experienced an improvement in both of these movements. The tuck jumps, a staple of "Chrissy," became a great substitute for the box jumps, and renegade rows took the place of pull ups. We also did a ridiculous number of kettlebell swings and squats. I think this experience of getting better at something by doing other things is quite remarkable. It's sort of like how reading fiction makes you a better thinker and writer.

ahhh basement, i shall not miss you...can't WAIT 'till the garage doors open and running returns to our workouts..i miss the beaver ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're so right though, it seems everyone just didn't miss a beat on their journey to strength and health while working out in the batcave! :)
also, the space in the garage actually seems to increase people's energy - it's like the possibility of more movement actually produces it...when there are tons of people there, instead of feeling like we're getting in each other's way (basement), it's now more like a party...
ReplyDeletehurrah!
Congrats on the blog and growth, Darci. Even though you will be glad to be out of the basement there will still be pleasant memories of "remember those days when wallball was easier?" Well, that's our experience, at least.
ReplyDeleteAfter my brief stint in the basement, I too am happy to be in the new space..... the "garage" is a great work out space. I can't wait until my first spring and summer working out with the Flux group..... so far, it has been a great experience. I have finally found a gym and routine that works for me!!!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much love all of you crazy fluxers but I'm silly happy that you're not in the basement anymore!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Happy am I.
