Tabata - Clubbell Swipes

20 seconds of Double Clubbell Swipes with the 15lb Clubbells, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated without pause 8 times for a total of four minutes. Count total lowest reps out of 8 cycles.
 
 I am still overly sore from my last week of training so I decided to use my clubbells as an active recovery. According to the inventor of the Clubbell, Scott Sonnon - "Soft tissue elasticity diminishes as we age and is primarily responsible for most injuries for athletes and the aging: which is why these apparently disparate groups are the Clubbell®’s largest advocates. Moving in three dimension washing the joint capsules with nutrition and lubrication, breaks up adhesions, smoothes off boney profiles (abating osteoarthritis), and distracts the bones (abating osteoporosis). Conventional weight-lifting equipment cannot do this. But the Clubbell®, with its protective outer coating and smooth profile, was specifically designed for swinging around the body".

400 Meter Sprint & Mobility...

400 Meter Sprint - 1:06 - 3 second PR!

Then I focused on mobility. What is mobility and why is it necessary? Well, according to the ten physical fitness domains, flexibility (also known as mobility) is not only on the list, but in the top four. Despite the fact that flexibility is one of the focal points of CrossFit, it continues to be a weakness in most athletes’ training regimens. According to the top ten fitness domains, flexibility is of equal importance as more attractive and engaging attributes such as strength and stamina. The truth is this: lacking flexibility in critical areas is absolutely crushing to the athletic ability of any individual, whether professional or amateur. Mobility vastly improves strength and speed, as well as all the other aspects of fitness
