2008 Drivers Workout 101 Feb 2, 2008 New Date

[C4B4the04]

All,

As you know, the holidays are not good to your body...we all eat ourselves into a stupor for a month and then make resolutions we have NO intention of keeping.

Let's fix that: Announcing Drivers Workout 101
Where:

Golds Gym Alexandria
7770 Richmond Hwy
Alexandria, VA 22306

When:
Saturday, February 2, 2008 (new date)
General Workout 10:00 am- Noon


Lunch following at Chevys Mexican Restaurant (in the shopping north of the Golds) for those interested.

If you drive (or would like to this year) in any events, this might help. I have developed good workout routine focused on the muscle groups that you use while driving. In doing this, I have talked to Golds Gym Alexandria and gotten 12 passes to get a group of people in for a workshop/meeting free. I am offering this to the first twelve people interested. I am calling it "Drivers Workout 101". Basically, its a set of exercises you can do at your own level that will create positive changes for your driving. This is NOT about getting super-muscles or how to bench press your car. I would like to show you ways to strengthen shoulders, core muscles, chest, back and prevent injury from fatigue. This is a one-time deal but I am sure I could host a second one if there was interest.

If you are intersted, reply here. If you have not updated your password yet on the forum/don't know how/won't show in public you're part of this mess, thats fine. Email me at cassidynolen@yahoo.com and I will put you on the list.

This workout is designed to be one that can be done over a few days a week, no stress or 3 hour marathons here. If people are interested in specific other exercises (I also do more focused work on arm muscles) I could do that before the event (maybe 9-10 that morning).

Cheers,
Cassidy

Cassidy,

I may be interested in this, but need to check the calendar. Thaat may be the weekend I'm going up to Summit for instructor training for FATT. [;)]

[urtoslo]

Dang, Cassidy, this is something I'd be interested in. However, Katie has a winter guard show that day. I'll check if she knows the time for her show and let you know if I can swing both.

Edited title to reflect "Workout" instead of "Wokout". Didn't want people to think you were cooking Chinese food outdoors.

Thanks Laurie :) Could you tell I had lunch on the brain? LOL!

Well guys, lets see what others say. We could do the weekend before if that would be better. I could not do the one after (16-17) but maybe last one in the month if this time did not work out (or wok out :) ) .

The week before (2/2/8) works for me. The 9th is definitely a FATT instructor day (unless the weather really does not cooppuhhrate), in addition to being Katie's guard show and the last weekend (2/23-24/2008) is NASA VIR...

Hey, what ever works for everyone WORKS FOR ME!

George, Andrej,

Does the 2nd work better for you all as well? I am flexible when we do it. Actually that gives folks a week extra to work on it before the season starts.

If its a better date, chime in. So far it seems it would be....

Feb 2 works for me.... [B-)]

[Z96LT4]

I need to work out the "water pump/Optispark" muscle group. Will this be covered as well?
I should be able to make it.

[C4B4the04]

Smartass. :) We'll get it done soon. Sorry I've been so busy.


Updated:
So far Attendees:

Andrej
Kris Z
George, you out there?


I have room for 9 more. I am trying to put together a booklet for each person, too. Don't know if that will happen in time. Considering I have to do the Optispark wok-out :)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't say I was attending! I just fixed your title for ya, that's all. [;)] I've had tendinitis in my left knee for over 3 months now and my doctors are restricting my activity due to health issues. These days, I'm just lucky to even be alive! [:))]

Thanks for thinking of me, though. If I could, I would, but I can't. [:(]

[firebird]

I keep asking you when you want to do this, I never hear back so... :P

Cass I'll talk to you offline about this. I know Jacob is having a birthday party sometime that weekend, I assume Saturday, but I don't know what time. What time would you be doing this?

The second may work for me also Cassidy. I need to check to see if I have to be in Baltimore either the 2nd or 3rd for a Bridal show that I need to check out for my business. Not sure which day it is yet. the 9th and 23rd are instructor days at the track. That much I do know.

[C4B4the04]

Still looking to add a few folks to this. I am working on typing up a booklet that will cover all that we discuss.

So far:
(me)
Kris Z.
Andrej
Paul B.


All are welcome. As I said at the meeting....this is as serious as you want to take it. These exercises are things you modify to your tastes and then do as you can. Heck, even if you just come to lunch afterwards with us, thats up to you :)


Cassidy

[C4B4the04]

Hi guys,

Just a reminder this is coming up this weekend. Its still a fairly small turn out. No interest, or are there conflicts?

If its a conflict issue, let me know. We could move it if need be.....


Cassidy

[urtoslo]

Thanks for putting this on. [B-)]

[C4B4the04]

Just a bump to get it on the main Forum page....any others out there?

[C4B4the04]

One last bump to get it to the top (ttt for your corvetteforum folks!).

Looking forward to muscle soreness....just kidding.

If you sent a club email, you might have gotten a little bit more response. Just a thought...

Maybe everyone is still in hibernation mode?

[urtoslo]

HEY, you guys missed a great event! Cassidy is a great teacher and spent a lot of time explaining and demonstrating purpose and technique. His students are very lucky to have him as a teacher.

If he does this again, I'm up for it!

Thanks, Cassidy!! [=D>] [=D>] [=D>]

[C4B4the04]

Thanks Andrej,

It was just three of us (a friend that has done HPDE's with us came too) but a good group.

Next time I think I would do a little less for each "day" and focus on good form.

How are your shoulders after the super-sets? :)


If people would like, I could do this again before the season really starts. I have the booklets typed and printed up, too.

Cassidy

[urtoslo]

Without you there I'm sure I would have overdone it, but they felt fine the next day. They felt "used", but not abused! [:D]
