Challenge | Discovery | Motivation Seminar
What drives you towards your goals?
How do you stay motivated?
How do you manage setbacks along the way?
Join Rob and Donald as they take you to the sands of the Sahara Desert, the jungles of Costa Rica and the rugged trails of Vancouver Island’s beautiful West Coast and tell tales from the trail. Learn about how they fostered inner growth through extreme endurance events and how you can find motivation within to set, stay committed and achieve your goals.
Thursday, February 25th @ 6:30pm. Come down to the Zone!

Today’s Workout:
Buy In – 5 Rounds:
- 5 Burpees
- 5 Deadlifts (95/135)
WOD – “Widow Makers”
20 Rep Back Squat
Then:
5 x 5 reps of Handstand pushups
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Stay tight – your poor form will surely degrade with such high reps.
- Take two or three breaths between reps. You’ll need the oxygen, this isn’t a sprint. If you can rip these reps off, then the weight you choose is too light. These sets can take as long as three minutes to finish.
- I’ll say it again – stay tight. The upper body will be working crazy hard to keep the midline stable while trying to support the weight and fill the lungs with air.
- These will be a lesson in mental stamina. First of all you are doing a set of twenty with a weight you should only be able to do for ten (which is hard to wrap your head around).
- Plus, two and half to three minutes is a long time to have that weight on your back, it gives that voice in your head plenty of time to talk you out of your next rep.
- Keep focus through out the entire set. Convince yourself you will not quit.
- Keep spotters close.
