The gym will be back to it's usual schedule on Friday, unless you hear otherwise!  To help out our coaches, please register for class ahead of time if you plan to attend.  You can head to the schedule page to sign up, or use your MindBody app!  Thanks, guys!

Also, please keep in mind that we most likely still don't have running water.  I highly doubt that the water leak has been fixed during this storm.  And if any of you have flooding issues or any other problems associated with the storm, please let me know if we can help!  I know our Octane crew is ready to help any of you in need.  I hear that assistance may be needed at Sterlington Middle School to help fill sandbags, and if this is still going on tomorrow, my kids and I will be there helping between classes.  Come join us there if you can!  Remember the monthly goal for March?  Be of service.  I couldn't think of anything more appropriate right now.

WARNING!  Unfortunately, we don't have any running water at they gym right now.  There's a water leak somewhere in the plumbing, so until it can be fixed, our water has been turned off.  So please be sure to bring bottled water with you!  We can run over to the Shell station to use the restrooms.  So sorry about the inconvenience!  Hopefully, it won't last long...

Monthly Goal: Be of Service

Even though our 8 weeks of SEAL training are over, there are a lot of great things we took away from it that I intend to keep as part of our regular program at Octane.  One of those items is the class protocol; the baseline (which is not just a warmup, but includes box breathing and range of motion drills, and is at times a bit more of a workout in itself), and the durability after the workout, which includes a range of things that are important for recovery.

Another great take-away from the SEAL program was the weekly goals that we incorporated.  Getting into shape, or getting and staying healthy, entails so much more than physical training.  If Octane only provides you with workouts that you attend 3-5 times per week, then I don't feel like we're doing a very good job of helping you reach your potential.  The weekly goals gave you something to focus on outside of the gym, which is where almost all of your time is spent!  Afterall, you aren't going to be able to come into the gym for one hour a day and undo everything else you've done during the other 23 hours of your day.  What you do outside of the gym counts, too, and if we can help guide you toward healthier habits at home, well, then we're really getting somewhere!

For the rest of this year, I'm going to give you a monthly goal, so you can spend a full month trying to establish the goal as a habit.  The goals can be physical (for example, nutrition based) or mental (maybe something to cultivate optimism).  That being said, the goal for this month is to find ways to be of service.  Look for a way that you can help someone else out or make someone's day brighter.  It can be something like mowing a neighbor's lawn for them or holding the door open for a stranger.  Call a friend or family member to let them know you're thinking about them, or do a small chore that your spouse would appreciate.  It can be anything!  The point is that you are focusing on finding something you can do for someone else.

SEAL Training graduation workout is Saturday at 8:30!  If you're participating in the Run to the Battle, stop by afterward and cheer on your teammates!  Coffee will be there, along with Paleo pumpkin bread and lemon blueberry bread from For His Temple Foods.  FREE FOOD, GUYS!  Although, I hear that I should have bribed you all with donuts and mimosas instead.  Ha!  I should have known better.  We can always walk to the gas station for honey buns and wine.
