How to take care of hand calluses:

How to take care of calluses on your hands from CrossFit Los Angeles on Vimeo.



I personally prefer a callus grater similar to a pedi-egg to remove callus buildup. You can find a Revlon brand at the NAF Atsugi Exchange when they are in stock that works wonders. Sorry guys - they are pink. Leave them in your shower to use when your hands are softer from the warm water. Remove the excess, but not ALL your callus.

WOD

Tabata Something Else
Complete 32 total intervals of 20 seconds work / 10 seconds rest of the following 4 exercises (8 intervals of each exercise):
- Bottom to bottom squat - that means rest at the bottom! (advanced scale up to OHS w/ PVC)
- Sit-ups against wall w/ medicine ball (touch ball to floor at the bottom and throw against the wall at top)
- Back extensions (supermans)
- Mountain climbers (count each step as a rep)
Then run 400m - there is NO rest between exercises.

For each exercise, record the round in which you achieved the LOWEST number of reps.  Score will be the total of your LOWEST numbers divided by your 400m time.  For example, if the lowest number of reps you do for each exercise is 10 and you run 400m in 2:00; your score is 40/2 = 20.  If you were to run a 1:30; your score is 40/1.3 = 31.  Big number/small number = highest score!
------------------------------------------
Mobility Work:  5-10 minutes of hip work (coach's choice for stretches/rollers, etc.) followed by 5-10 minutes of rotator/shoulder work (w/ bands).  This is part of the WOD; try not to blow it off.

Hey all of our awesome CFers...one thing we have been noticing is that we are not spending enough time warming up.  As I am sure you have seen on some CF T-shirts, "Our warm-up is your work-out" - so make it worth while; you should be breaking a sweat during your warm-up.  We need to remember the purpose of our warm-up.  A few things to keep in mind during a warm-up:
* Get your heart rate up (run, row or do some double unders)
* Do some mobility work (Samson stretch, get the foam rollers out, hold some deep squats, shoulder pass-throughs, the rotator cuff warm-up... to name a few)
* Dynamic movements to start triggering some muscle memory (Burgener warm-up, dynamic push-ups, overhead squat with PVC, kipping pull-ups, etc.) 
Please take the time to put a little more effort into your warm-ups to prevent injuries and prepare you for a better WOD!  Please ask us if you have any questions about the movements listed above.

WOD
10 Rounds for time:
100M Run
5 Burpees
10 Supermans

Housekeeping

Just some nice reminders ;)

1. Please make sure to clean off your weights before returning them to the weight room.  No grass!  It's like camping - they should never know we were there. 

2. Return ALL equipment to their "homes".  Do not leave out ab mats or jump ropes.

3. If you participate in the 0530 class - you WILL eat something before class.  It doesn't have to be a lot, but something.  No exceptions.  You too 0830 class.

4.  It's getting hotter out!  Make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing, bug spray, sunscreen, and water.  (I got a sunburn on Saturday during out Easter egg hunt WOD!)

5.  Unless you are a coach, do not coach.  If you see something unsafe that you feel the coaches do not see,  please let a coach know quietly to the side.  We may be ignoring some things on purpose.

6.  You may whine about burpees - but it only makes us program more burpees!

7.  Make the newbies welcome!  Say hi!  Introduce yourself!  Remember how it felt to be new?

8. Be aware of where you are standing in the weight room.  Stay out of the way of other people lifting in there.
