WEEKLY BREAKDOWN 11/7/22

Boom, and just like that, we’re in November.

This month we will be slamming the pedal to the metal twice a week with SPRINT-style workouts. Coming off long GRIND workouts we should have a solid conditioning base and now we challenge that base with fast bursts of energy for single or multiple efforts. We will help train the body to recover more efficiently with these sprint workouts. 

We will also retest two amazing workouts: DT and Ripcord. One is a classic Benchmark and the other is one of our favorite NCFIT Benchmarks so get excited. Lastly, we will see 1-2 bodybuilding finishers from our NCFLEX program integrated into the week to get a nice pump leading to the end of the year!

Who doesn’t love a challenge and even better, who doesn’t like black out bingo!!!

Pick-up your bingo card at your gym and get to work. The goal is to “black out” your bingo card by completing the Row-vember challenges over the month of November. 

Each bingo card will be displayed at the gym so we can all see each other’s progress throughout the month as well as promote some healthy trash talking, lol. At the end of the month, those who blacked out their card will be entered into a drawing to win the coveted “Name Your Rower” Prize. 

Individual “Name Your Rower” Prizes will also be given out for the top scores in some of the bingo card workouts. 

Have Questions? Reach out to any of your coaches. 

Good Luck and Enjoy your Row-vember Challenge….. Get ta’ Rowin’
