So today the Governor shut our doors temporarily. They say it will be two weeks. Like most shit in life, I want to see it to believe it. So, if I don’t get to welcome everybody back on March 31, nobody freak out. It will all be fine because you are all kilotrained. This shit fest of a pandemic doesn’t have me scared. Not at all. We have the best staff and community of members this area has ever seen. Not to mention the fittest! I’m not a fan of being told I have to close my doors. Not one bit. But I realize COVID needs to be taken seriously so we’ll play by the governments rules and do our part. Here is our part from a training standpoint with closed doors.

  1. @HOME WODs are in full effect. If you are able to keep up with daily programming because your garage gym is decked out, FANTASTIC! If you do not have a ton of equipment, no biggy, you can make a little go a LONG WAY. Those of you who are always on the move between this apartment or that house, I am going to lend out equipment over the course of this shit fest that is trying to take our fitness. DON’T WORRY. WE’RE NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN. Aside from our “fancy” stuff DM @crossfitkilo2 via IG 1 item you would be happy to train with as long as you PROMISE to take extra good care of it! :) Here are a list of items I’m talking about. DBs, KBs, slam balls, a small red pad for some hspu perhaps or a drag rope. I will be in and out of the gym trying to keep busy with some other things so I can do a kilotrained restaurant style drive through if you want to pick it up. So, rest assured you’re not out of this fight. We’re in the fight. We don’t get ALL of our weapons for this battle but that doesn’t matter because we still get SOME! TIME TO GO GET SOME!

  2. Nutrition. I’ve been to the stores like most of you and I’ve seen the shelves of shit bum rushed by all the turds. Let em have it. Let em have it ALL. More fruits, veggies, and healthier options for me and you! If you feel uncertain about what to purchase during a time like this, send me an email and I’ll help give you some ideas. Also feel free to come forward with any other questions relating to your nutritional goals for free. The next two weeks aren’t a time for a shit show diet. They’re a time for a cleanest I’ve ever eaten diet because there’s a virus out there that preys on the weak, elderly and unhealthy. So, my advice is to sharpen your knives. Prepare for this fight head on by slicing and dicing some veggies. Give your immune system and your gut some reinforcements! Also, the last time I checked, Corona hasn’t gotten in our water supply but with its name as a dead give away I know I’m drinking the H20 instead of beer for the next 2 weeks.

  3. Sleep. My goodness we all love it and we all can get a lot of it but let’s be responsible with our sleeping habits. Go to bed when it gets dark and try to wake up with the Sun and get out and breathe some fresh air. “Sleeping in” is just another form of instant gratification. It feels good but it’s for losers. Before you know it, it’s 10am and you haven’t done shit. Wake up, drink a lot water. Make some breakfast. Enjoy it. Chew your food a little slower than you would that bagel from Brueggers. Then, take a bit to digest it and exercise. The vast majority of the @HOMEWODS will be one’s you don’t need any equipment to complete and you won’t need a shit ton of carbs either unless you still have access to a barbell and can really load your body. For the most part keep things lean and clean with food the planet offers you. Before we get too far off track on this point let’s remember to sleep well. If you have trouble falling asleep, have some sex. I have found that to always work really well! Just be responsible about that too HA!

  4. Life will go on. This is no time to pout and get all depressed because half the world is freaking out and our gym is temporarily in timeout. Believe me, I’ve wanted to pout a lot today. However, we’re used to rallying when things seem hard. Most of us overcome a challenge 4-6 days a week!!! And a hard one at that. This is nothing. Do your part. Call your loved ones to check in and wish them the best and perhaps recommend some of the above information for the sake of good health. Then prioritize and execute some shit you want to get done over the next 2 weeks! Live through your fitness that you’ve worked so hard for and continue to THRIVE! #Kilotrained
