This Saturday (1st September @11AM) instead of the Girls WOD we will be hosting a specialised skill class in hand balancing, handstand and handstand walks.  This class will be taken by Omercan Cirit of Glasgow Parkour it will be free of charge and I urge all of you to try and make it along.  Co-ordination, balance and flexibility are all important components of fitness and this is a chance to really focus on those attributes over the strength, speed, power stuff we see more often.
