Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
So many exciting things happened today on the mighty mighty Westside!!!
We took a field trip across campus to the beautiful JANSS STEPS territory and the tribe showed up in full force!
We introduced HOISTIES, a traditional NP exercise and these folks ROCKED them.
We busted out probably one of the hardest burnouts in the world and the Westside continued to power through until the clock struck 7 minutes! #SEBASTIANS
This morning was pretty DOOOPE! We shook things up with some agility and strength conditioning on and off the stairs and the Westside absolutely DESTROYED it (duh).
Have you ever done squat jumps UP A STAIRCASE? For ten minutes straight!? Me neither. I got a text around 7:45 am saying ‘my butt cheeks are quivering when I shift in my seat lol’. I’m hoping thats a good quiver!!! #nomoreweakcheeks
We couldn’t be more excited and proud of this guy for showing up. It only took him about… 2 months and many, many nagging Instagram messages from both Maggie and myself to get him to finally #JustShowUp.
We knew he was intrigued and just needed a little extra motivation to make that first step. David, you were WELL worth the wait and we are insanely grateful every time we get to see your sunshiny face and watch your energy flow through the stadium. You have become such a strong force in this community and you continue to show up week after week, always glowing with grit, determination and positivity.
Why is community important? Because it helps us grow both as individuals and as a team. There is no I in team and doing things with others versus doing them alone is a hell of a lot more fun and rewarding for everyone involved.
Last week when Maggie had been released from surgery, she knew she wouldn’t be in the right state to lead the workout with me and be her loud, screaming self. It was obvious that I was going to be leading the workout solo. I remember a couple times back when I used to lead LAX when I led solo, those were actually some of the most memorable workouts. Why? Because I was able to bring in some of the tribe members to step up and take on some of the responsibility. It felt way more in unison with us all doing it together, rather than an “us doing it for them” kind of situation. You don’t have to be a co-leader to lead and take care of your tribe, and you don’t have to lead alone- regardless if your co leader is there or not.
This morning, like all Wednesday mornings- was absolutely magical. Why was it so magical? Because it’s the best day of the week with the best humans in the world, DUH!
But seriously. I look forward to Wednesdays every single day of the week. I get withdrawals the moment the clock hits 7:30 am and it’s over until next time. I get so excited for it that I’ve actually forced Mags and I to finish planning/talking about it by the Monday before so Tuesdays I can try and ~relax~ and not stay up all night in excitement. You’d think I was preparing myself for an Ironman or something. Nope, just a wondrous morning of free fitness with the best crew I know.
