Going Away/Birthday WOD
Posted by Jenny on Jul 26, 2011 in Events, Featured Clients, In The Gym, Testimonials | 0 comments
6:30p elements class on Wednesday night, the 20th of July, was bittersweet at Norcal Strength and Conditioning. Bitter because it was my last night coaching Chris and Kalin White before they make their move to Boston. Sweet because, in honor of them, the workout was a burner filled with movements they expressed as their favorites. I’m not sure if when all combined together they hold the same standing in their hearts, but either way the two of them and 4 other of their fellow Norcal-ians SMASHED this workout.
The workout went as follows…
(oh forgot to mention it is also near Kalin’s 25th birthday so we ‘celebrated’ that as well)
1 min Jump Rope (singles for speed)
then…
25 Single Arm Snatch (ea arm)
25 Knee To Elbows
25 Box Jumps
25 Jumping Pullups
25 Lunges (ea leg)
25 Ball Slams
Here are a few pictures of the night…

Kalin rockin' her knee to elbows

Chris gettin' it done!

Is Kalin laughing, motivating, or yelling at Chris?

They laid it all out there...great work guys!

Well done Chris and Kalin, Leslie Ball, Gary Clark, Katie Urrutia, and Jhoana Dela Cruz
They are going to be keeping a blog of their travels and new adventure. Stay up to date on their life from afar at their Blog.
Happy birthday Kalin and to both of you, we wish you the best on your new journey and hope that Boston life is all you hoped for and more. Keep in touch! You’ll be missed greatly!
