Sunday Story…The Open

At the risk of beating a dead horse; here we go with more reasons for you to do the Open even if you are not a competitive athlete!

Primarily, it serves as a check on your fitness. 3 workouts over 3 weeks that are all repeatable. They are all scalable to your current level of fitness. You will get a score that you can look up years down the road. I can see every Open score I have ever posted.

Second, you will be held accountable for your standard of movement and range of motion. Is your squat not low enough? No rep! If you miss the target on your wallball? No Rep! A judge will count your reps. 9 isn’t good enough to be counted as 10. Hopefully, this accountability will motivate you for the rest of the year. You will want to work harder to get the full range of motion every time, every rep until it becomes second nature. Voila! No more no-reps!

Lastly, you get to celebrate with your community. There is the shared suffering part, the commiseration of how bad it was. Cheering on your classmates and watching them get the win when they finish. I had the pleasure of judging an adaptive athlete last Friday. It was an amazing experience that I have never had, and it was even more amazing to see the smile on that athlete’s face when she finished. It was truly inspirational.

So, what are you waiting for? Register now and reach out to us so we can get your 24.1 score in the bank!

Let’s do this!
