Following up on our message from the other day –

We are going to put together a training group for an upcoming Obstacle Course Race.

The event we will be prepping for is on Sunday, November 13th, and is in the Sacramento area.

It is 3-5 miles and includes 20-23 obstacles, such as:

— climbing over walls
— carrying sandbags / buckets of rocks / etc up hills
— crawling in the mud and under barbed wire
— swinging from monkey bars

We will be training together for it as a team as well.

The training will be held on 8 consecutive Tuesday nights at 6 pm, starting on September 20th.

The workouts themselves will be a step up from our regular boot camps in terms of intensity etc – and will be 60 minutes instead of the standard 45.

I know it is early to open registration – but spots for the event itself are filling, and we want you to be able to plan for this if it’s something you want to include in your busy fall schedule.

We will focus specifically on preparing for the event – running outside, working on our pull ups and upper body strength, and doing specific drills to prep us for race day.

We will also get special T shirts made for everyone who participates in the training.

And I am going to throw in a free copy of my “20 Tips to Crush your Next Mud Run” report – tips and tricks to make sure you are prepared to survive – and THRIVE! – on race day.

If you are ready to sign up and make it happen, you can do so starting now at the link below – the cost for the training is a single payment of $159 or two payments (spaced 30 days apart) of $87.

Here’s another message from FVT yoga instructor Becky Jensen about the healing power of restorative yoga. Check it out below:

The Healing Power of Restorative Yoga
by Becky Jensen, RYT 200

Top fitness experts are heralding the benefits of adding a period of restoration to your fitness schedule. Rest after workouts, is where the work you did in the gym sinks in.

One great way to do this, as well as to expand your awareness of self and body, is with the practice of restorative yoga. You will come to cultivate a deeper understanding of your body as we guide you through gentle poses tailored to work in tandem with your heavy duty bootcamp fitness routine.

Restorative yoga, or yin yoga, is practiced in a quiet setting, involving no flow, limited movement, and centers on a few poses per class held for longer lengths of time, usually in low lunge, supine, sitting, or prone positions.

We turn inward, we focus on our breath, we explore beginning mediation and mindfulness.

You need no prior yoga experience to start this practice!

In our hour together, we RELAX while the muscles let go and the connective tissues of the body slowly lengthen. These long poses not only train us to learn to quiet the mind, but as we create space in the mind we also create lasting benefits of this practice such as greater range of motion, increased flexibility in less time, and time to reset the body back into its natural parasympathetic rhythms (as opposed to the all-day fight or flight stress response we can find ourselves in).

Classes are $15 each or $60 for 5.
