CJ - what a day for Reclamation...and to think..leaving a sweat angel outside on Dec 16th! Welcome to the CFReclamation family!
Hey Folks!
Exciting things happening tomorrow! Open gym runs from 9-12 with the Bring-A-Friend wod from 11-12. Then get home and clean up because it’s time for the Paleo Potluck Holiday Party! It will run from 2-6 pm! Bring a dish to share and bring the family and have them join the fun!
We will have a special Holiday wod for you…and the Friend wod will be something all can do and “enjoy”…or at least it will give them a taste of CrossFit. 
Please welcome CJ to the CFReclamation family! He finished his Reclamation wod today and left a cool sweat angel outside…on a nice sunny December afternoon! Kudos CJ!

As promised.. we have some big announcements of things to come. January promises to be packed full of events and happenings at CrossFit Reclamation. Get ready, cause its gonna be a whirlwind of a month.
PALEO CHALLENGE
To kick off the new year, we’ll be doing our first Paleo Challenge. A simple nutrition based competition that will entail weigh-ins.. tapings and baseline workouts. Is your New Year’s resolution to lose weight or get in better shape? Well a Paleo Challenge is just the solution… oh.. and there might be a cash prize as well!
CROSSFIT KIDS
Thats right… CrossFit Kids is back. Starting on the 10th of January, our kids program will resume its normal schedule of 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday’s.
CROSSFIT ENDURANCE
As many of you know, our Endurance program will be kicking off in the New Year. Looks like we’ll be doing a tentative meeting and Pose Clinic on the 21st of January. Thats’ a Saturday so be sure to mark your calendars. We’ll start with a one hour meeting regarding the expectations and follow up with a 2 hours Pose Clinic for those who want to refine their Pose skills or learn them anew.
YOGA!!
Thats right.. you read that correctly. CrossFit Reclamation is in the hunt for a yoga instructor to start some classes here at the gym each week. We fully recognize, as many of you should also, that our range of motion and flexibility needs some work. We have come across no better compliment to CrossFit than Yoga. Since we’d be arrested if we drove a van around kidnapping all of you and forcing you to attend a Yoga class elsewhere… we figured we’d bring it to you. Look for this towards the end of January or beginning of February.
Okay.. thats enough for now. Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for.
Erin... you can't hide in the corner.
WOD:
3 Rounds of -
1 Minute of Over Head Walking Lunge #45/25
1 Minute of Push-Ups
1 Minute of Wall Balls
1 Minute of Pull-Ups
1 Minute of Air Squats
1 Minute of Rest
ENJOY!!

A reminder to all and an intro to some. Open gym on Saturday’s is from 9-12. Come in and work on your weaknesses. Not sure where you’re weak? Pick one of these…
Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance – Basically..being able to breath during a workout
Stamina – Having something in the tank to do the last bit of the WOD
Strength – Being able to move weight
Power – Being able to move weight quickly
FLEXIBILITY – Improve range of motion of a joint… P.S. this is the only one that can change all nine other characteristics of fitness
Speed – To quickly cycle through a movement
Coordination – Move multiple joints together… with one common goal
Agility – Can you move from one type of movement to another smoothly? Like a squat into a push-up.. into a jump (a burpee)?
Balance – Can you stay on your center of gravity?
Accuracy – Can you move your body in a particular direction or intensity?
If you happen to be a miracle of modern fitness and aren’t deficient in any of the above… by all means.. relax. Otherwise… get in here!!

Christmas is right around the corner everyone…. as I’m sure you could tell from the balmy, wintery conditions we’ve been having lately. To celebrate, we at CrossFit Reclamation would like to invite you to our Paleo Potluck on December 17th. This is less than two weeks away and we’re sorry about the short notice… however Christmas snuck up on us too! So mark your calendar for that Saturday. We’re looking to do a lunch time pot luck, probably following a really fun workout. More information will be coming in the next day or so. Thanks!
