5 p.m. class: Sweat at sundown

Nothing like a hard day of interval training and tall cleans. We saw lots of shrugging and explosive footwork getting under the bar — exactly what we were aiming for. You’ll find that this work translates well into power cleans and full cleans. And oly lifting — which encompasses some of the most technical and beautiful weighted movements — will enhance your overall fitness. Speaking of oly lifting, don’t forget to talk to your coaches about Saturday’s Spring Cleaning at Raw Fitness Maui in Wailuku. The friendly competition is a chance to find a new PR, meet like-minded people and get outside of your comfort zone. While it takes a level of vulnerability to put yourself out there, it’s never a regret — you’ll find that you can do things you never imagined possible. The first of which is being involved in it! Commit — and see what you’re truly capable of accomplishing.

Special thanks to CFUM athlete Diane’s sister, Colleen (from left), Jennifer and Jess – all from CF Maui Extreme — who dropped in Monday. Colleen regularly comes by to hang with her sister and get in a WOD. It’s awesome to be connected, where our friends and family can go to different affiliates and still be united through our tight-knit Neighbor Island community.
