Team 0700 prepping for next month's test.

The time is almost here for us to crown a winner for 2010’s Spring Performance Challenge.  As a reminder, the winner will be determined by the most reps performed in three minutes comprising of three exercises: Push-up, Sit-up, and Squat.  You can choose to break up the exercises in any manner you want (but keep in mind that the more you transition, the more time you lose).  The only requirement is that you perform at least thirty reps of each exercise.  The winner will receive a month of Flex Access.

Getting Ready…

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

for the Summer challenge.

Madera Moms

Monday, July 13th, 2009

“I made it through 39.3 miles walked (26 first day/13 2nd day) with 3 blisters, an achy knee cap, tight quads, and a funky farmer’s tan. The good news…I finished the walk with a full spirit, and bigger heart. There were so many stories of lives that were affected by breast cancer, and I’m glad I got the chance to do this with the other remarkable women at my son’s school. We were the “Madera Moms Rock and Walk” team. I was able to raise $3,025 myself towards breast cancer.

Going in, I was very nervous that I didn’t train hard enough, especially just coming back from a 10 day vacation. The most I walked during my training (signed up in january) was 13 miles one time and shorter walks once a week ranging anywhere from 6-9 miles. I didn’t do a whole lot of walking! I’d have to give credit to IC Bootcamp for getting me through the rest. I was amazed at how well my stamina held up. I’ve never been a good runner and have done a few 5K’s but nothing as long as this. This Avon walk was definitely a personal accomplishment…”

Summer IC Challenge: Couples Pull-up

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

jesspmug

In honor of her big win last month, Jess Parker is paying it forward.   She handcrafted these awesome mugs for the winners of this summer’s IC challenge.  What challenge you ask?  The one we’re hosting for couples of the IC!  …but unlike our Couple’s Decathlon of the past, when an intimate relationship was required, this one will reflect the diversity of our local community by including everyone.  That’s right, any two of you–whether friends, spouses, classmates, parent-child, etc. can join forces and go for gold.

The Summer Couples Pull-Up Challenge will begin Monday July 13, 2009 and end on August 21, 2009.  Partners must register by the end of business day on Monday July 13, 2009.  Contestants will have one opportunity to crank out as many pull-ups as possible. The winners will be determined by the couple with the greatest sum total.  All pull-ups must be strict dead hang with no lower body momentum.  We encourage you to get creative with your performance style and costumes.

Oh yeah, the winners will also receive a free month of training!
Here is more pull-up inspiration from one of the most innovative teachers of our time, GIANT, founder of the Bartendaz.

Did Jeremy Come Through?

Anne and Les

Two of the hardest working moms in (and out of) the IC, Les and Anne, chillin’ after the brutal Xterra Marin Headlands 21k.

“Those squats paid off. I actually passed some runners who were crying,” noted Anne.

Who wouldn’t cry?  That’s 4000 feet of elevation – yikes…

Congratulations ladies!
