In Teams of 3, 1 at a time working:
900m Prowler Push 90/50
150 DB Push Press 35’s/20’s
15 Rope Climbs
Prowler pushes are round robin in 100m increments.
Complete DB Push Press in any order, but one partner must hold a handstand and one must hang from the bar to complete DB reps.
Complete rope climbs in any order.
As Amber is putting her full weight on my back, while I’m doing the cobbler pose, Travis yells at her “Don’t do that. He’s a million years old.” I do appreciate Travis’ concern about my age, but even at a M years old, I’m as flexible as someone half that age. And that is due, in large part, to my attending Amber’s FlexNasty class once a week for the past 5 months. My flexibility has improved a lot since I’ve been attending. Recently, my masseuse told me to keep doing whatever it is that I’ve been doing because my legs are much more relaxed. I also attribute this to the great stretching we do in Amber’s class.
When I was in my twenty’s, I used to walk on my hands a lot. I didn’t really think that I would be able to do that a million years later, but now I can. Again, thanks to Amber’s class.
I try to do FlexNasty once a week. I find it to be a nice break from the grind of the regular CrossFit GPP. It is a lot of fun doing forward rolls and handstand rolls. Seems more like child play, but when it’s over, I feel like I got as good as work out as GPP. It was at first, and continues to be a little scary sometimes. Someone once said that you should do something a little scary every day. I’m happy with once a week.
I think that everyone should give the class a try. You’ll get stronger and more flexible and have some fun, too.
