Celebration of Excellence
I'd like to take this opportunity to celebrate one of the people who has made the Ultimate Grind what it is today. Rebecca was one of the finalists of the original Ultimate Grind...back in the days when Ultimate Grinders would be forced to army crawl on top of sheets of ice and run a mile though a foot of snow...wow, we were crazy back then!
This is a picture of Rebecca as she was promoting the new season starting July 26th.

2 New Workouts, 2 Peoples' Choice Workouts
We didn't get where we are today by doing the exact same workout every day!
That being said, people tend to get anxious if we mix it up too much.
So, here's my compromise...our next 4 workouts will feature 2 innovative, never before done, workouts, and 2 classic Ultimate Grind workouts.
Our next 2 Tuesday Morning Metabolic Powerblasts we will do my new "Yogaflex" workout and my new "Kettlebell Classic" workout. These workouts will new completely new, and a different type of challenge than what we've faced before.
Our next 2 Friday MMPB's will be "peoples' choice workouts. Meaning YOU will choose...democratically...here are your possible workouts:
a) Tabita Circuits
b) Metabolic Density Training
c) Partner Relays
d) Power/Stability Supersets

Championships tomorrow!
I'm sure you're all anxiously anticipating the championships tomorrow. Many of you have worked very hard this season, and tomorrow is when it will all pay off!
Remember, it's all about competing WITH your teammates...if you can do more push-ups, crunches, and cover more distance in 5 minutes than you could day 1, then you win!
Here's the schedule for tomorrow's championships:
We'll start with a brief team warm-up. Nothing too extreme...but we don't want to go into the Ultimate Grind Championships cold!
Then...we will select teams of 2...maybe 1 team of 3 if we have an odd number. Teams will be selected randomly from 2 pools...UG veterans and UG rookies.
There will be 2 types of exercises; "batters box exercises" and "dug out exercises"
Batters box exercises score points for your team, but they will only count if your teammate is simultaneously doing their dug out exercise. For example...when you are doing your ice-skaters, your teammate will be holding a plank...and when you are doing your bent rows, your teammate will be holding a bridge. Not all events will consist of 2 exercises. Now for the official line-up:
1) Burpees (both teammates at the same time)- 50 each
2) Leg throwdowns - 50 total
3) Iceskaters (plank)- 100 total
4) Pushups (cobra)- 50 total
5) Crunches (hold low squat)- 100 total
6) Bent Rows (bridge)-100 total
7) Reverse chops (side plank)-100 total
8) Team mile (YTA)- 20 lengths total
Don't let the competitiveness of all this psych you out....it will be fun and we're all in it together! Good luck tomorrow!
