WOD Tuesday 2nd December ’14

By Iain Barbour|2014-12-01T20:59:00+00:00December 1st, 2014|WOD|

Workout of the Day A. 12min emom - 1 GTOH - increase weight between sets B. 3x 3min AMRAP Row 300/250 10 STOH 60/40 max burpees C. Mobility - coach's choice CrossFit Kids is not on this weekend. Tonight 19.15 there is weightlifting in place of the WOD. This class costs £3 and is taught by a weightlifting with over 7 years competitive experience. You do not need to be a member of CFG to attend this class and if you are a member of CFG and have not been to one of Colette's class then I can only assume you have similar totals and compete internationally. All jokes aside, she can help you with these very technical lifts and for such a low price it really is a no-brainer. Get involved. Colette at the FFD Throwdown 2014
