Sunday is rest day at 41Fitness. Our weekly announcements are posted on Sunday. Be sure to read the 2009-11-08 Sunday post discussing the importance of recovery.

Weekly Announcements

– We are placing an order for beanies, short-sleeve tees, and long-sleeve tees in the next two weeks. Visit our Apparel page for more information. Email us at [email protected] if you are interested in ordering any of these items. Please be sure to include colors and sizes, if applicable.

– We are on day 21 of our 30-day Fitness Challenge. Only 9 more days to go… Kudos to those who have stuck with it and made it this far!

– Most of you will be starting your fourth week of the 100-day Nutrition Challenge tomorrow. This week you will only eat one non-Paleo meal (often referred to as a “cheat meal”) during the week. If you “fall off the bandwagon,” get right back on and DO forget it happened! It is never too late to start the challenge. For more information on the Paleo Diet, read our Nutrition page.

– 41Fitness will be taking a group to the 2010 Garage Games in Woodstock, Georgia on February 6 & 7. There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of competition. We encourage all 41Fitness members to compete and/or cheer on friends and members of 41Fitness who will be competing. Please let us know if any of you are interested and would like to carpool. Visit our Events page for other upcoming events. Note: The Boneyard will be closed on Saturday, February 6.

– Jennie is attending a CrossFit Level 1 Certification in San Antonio at Alamo CrossFit this weekend. She will return to The Boneyard on Tuesday with a better understanding of CrossFit’s methods, concepts, and movements.

– 41Fitness member Cody Young attended a HKC (Hardstyle Kettlebell Certified) Instructor Workshop with Sr. RKC David Whitley and Delaine Ross at Delaine’s Condition KB Gym in Atlanta last Saturday. Cody has been sharing what he learned with some of our members and looks forward to sharing what he learned with others.

– 41Fitness member Pete Russell plays for the Montgomery Yellowhammer Rugby Football Club. You can see Pete and the other Yellowhammers in action at one of their three back-to-back home games scheduled for 1 p.m. on February 13, 20, and 27. To see their schedule, visit the Yellowhammer Google Calendar.

Weekly Announcements

– We now have hot water at The Boneyard! Yah! 🙂

– We are on day 14 of our 30-day Fitness Challenge. To those participating in the challenge, we say keep on keeping on. It’s beginning to get tough but you can do it! The challenge is designed to make you stronger and better at a particular movement. 41Fitness member Kelly Dixon is doing just that. In November she started doing pull-ups assisted by our purple band. She moved to the green band, then the black band, and has recently used the red band. She will be doing an unassisted pull-up in no time!

– Most of you will be starting your third week of the 100-day Nutrition Challenge tomorrow. This week you will only eat two non-Paleo meals (often referred to as “cheat meals”) during the week. It is never too late to start the challenge. For more information on the Paleo Diet, read our Nutrition page.

– Speaking of resolutions….getting some or more exercise, losing weight, and learning something new are three of the top ten most popular resolutions. If someone you know has mentioned these, you should invite them to come take a tour. Bring them to see a workout and to chat with us about functional fitness and what we do.
