It's Friday, Fools!  Make it a good one.

Reminder: Amplify is CLOSED Saturday in order to attend the fundraiser event at CrossFit Darien. Click on the link for more info.  Join us!

Today begins Amplify's "12 Days of Christmas."

Each day leading up to Christmas we will post a 1 minute exercise challenge on our Facebook Page, to be completed for fun either at the gym or at home.  Post scores to comments on the daily Facebook post. Each challenge will be max reps in 1 minute.  Don't worry, it won't work like the song-- only ONE exercise per day.  Great for a "cash out" post-wod, or else at the house or on your own at any time throughout the day.

For the first day of Christmas, Amplify gave to you: AbMat Sit-ups.    Go get 'em.

FRIDAY Conditioning 4 Rounds For Total Time: • 90m Shuttle Run (15m down,15 back  x3) • 15 Pull-ups • 60m Shuttle Run (15m down,15 back  x2) • 15 Push Press • 30m Shuttle Run (15m down, 15m back  x1) • Rest 2 minutes
