         Bring awareness and aid to those affected by Lymphoma and blood cancers. Peak Physique of Greenwich Ct will be hosting this event in which 50 participants will go through a high intensity circuit workout to raise money. 

 

         The format of the cross circuit group training is a team circuit. There will be 5 (10-12 minute) fitness stations. Each of these stations will be in separate rooms at peak physique or in the back parking lot. A trainer will conduct different exercises in each room. Each trainer at the different station will then explain the exercises that the people will be performing at their stations. The format will be 30 seconds of exercise then 10-20 seconds rest. During the rest period the people will switch exercises. After ten minutes of this circuit an air horn will sound signaling a transition to the next station. This will encompass the entire hour. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for a dynamic warm up lead by one of the trainers.

 

 

 

         Patrick McGovern will also be performing a fitness challenge to raise additional money. That workout will be based on 5 different exercises in which he will perform as many repetitions as possible in one-minute time frames with a 30 second rest between each exercise. He will perform this until the end of the hour long session. You can sponsor him per rep he gets, or give a flat donation. 

 

         Remember this is a limited space event to the first 50 people, please sign up before September 27th to reserve your spot in the workout.
