Just a quick reminder, the Functional Training for Triathletes is this Sunday. Register today, as space is limited.

As a side note, I have had the opportunity to check out FIT Cleveland and the Extreme Conditioning Class with Kevin Smyth over the past three weeks. Fit is different than other gyms without the traditional machines. It has been a wonderful opportunity to mix it up and check out the functional fitness training philosophy and work on lots of different exercises including TRX, stability and a whole variety of other challenging techniques. It has been a nice change of pace and I have really enjoyed the variety of it all.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in the gym over the years doing a lot of the same exercises, it is always good to mix it up and try some new things. Clearly many of these new drills I checked out there made me work and some of my attempts such as my lateral jumps over a bar (and then crawling under it) were laughable…yet I do like the challenge! Oh and it has indeed helped me to identify some muscles that I did not know were there and at times made me wish all rest rooms were equipped with handicapped bars. All kidding aside, I think highly of Kevin and the studio is very nice and would encourage people to check it out! This should be a very worthwhile workshop!
