Here is what the proposed shirt for this year would look like. I am not set on anything, and am open to feedback in order to make it as close to what people think they would like as possible. Remember there is no obligation to buy a Tshirt, but the proceeds go to helping fund the fitness center and provide the programming and equipment you have all come to know and love. Try to keep in mind when giving feedback to provide solutions to the things you don't like about the design so it is easier to draft changes. Post your ideas to comments so that all can share in the building of the shirt.
The focus of today is on your running muscles (hamstrings, hips and glutes) and your abdominal core. We have all gone through the methodoligy behind functional style sit ups and the "why" behind being able to use other areas of our body to aid in the movement. Now its time to put your practice to the test under a little time constriction. The 2 exercises are not interrelated and should allow you to flow from one to the next without having to take breaks between them. Try and take your breaks, if needed, during the exercise rather than between them in order to increase your efficiency.
When Lunging try to keep your body nice and upright. It is very easy to get lazy and allow your posture and body to slump forward over the lead leg. Always ensure that your weight is centered directly over your base of support and do not allow your knee to cross the plane of your toes. Pull with the heel of the lead foot and push off the toes of the back leg to help come to a stand. These lunges are done in a walking fashion. Finally feel free to roll up the windows when things start getting difficult. Just as in sit ups we can use our arms in order to aid in the movement, increase speed and bring the heart rate up even further.
