What we did today is pretty representative of how our classes flow: warm-up, two or three barbell lifts, and a bout of high-intensity conditioning. After a few more sessions, we’ll have taught you all of the major lifts, so you’ll spend more and more time under the bar, moving progressively heavier weight!
Depending on your prior level of activity, you may be sore tomorrow. That’s okay. We’re stressing your body to force an adaptation. A relaxed walk or run will be therapeutic. You may still be a bit sore coming to class on Thursday. No problem. We’ll be doing different movements.
Part of being fit is being able to recover from tough workouts. Happily, your ability to recover will improve, just as your strength and conditioning will. The human body is an amazing machine. The more you use it, the better it gets.
Not everyone can do what you all did this morning. We should all feel fortunate for the physical abilities that we have, even while striving for increased performance.
We’re glad you’re in our class.
