The box IS our friend.... Hi Friend!

Irene works on her box jumps (which she subs step ups for), Gary begins his weighted step ups (with uneven weights none the less), while Diane completes a round with elevated push ups.

Monday's class was all about finding the box that was the right height for each one of you, in addition to the proper weights. Some movements are easier for us and we want to use the tall box, whereas other movements are more difficult and push us towards a smaller box. Bottom line....the box is your friend. Pick your friend and stick with your friend through the entire workout! This includes other workouts too! Challenge yourself. It doesn't matter if you have less reps or if your time is longer. If you increase the height of your box, your are also increasing your workload and that, my friends, is progress! So next time that you encounter a "box" workout, make a new friend....upgrade your box!
