June Programming Overview and the Importance of Assessments

This month at Urban Athletic Club, we’ve focused on building upper body strength, improving endurance, and mastering kettlebell techniques, all while having fun with benchmark workouts. Assessing your progress is vital to success and motivation. It provides a clear picture of where you stand and helps set achievable goals for the future. Regular assessments ensure that you’re continually progressing and allow you to make necessary adjustments to your training regimen.

Why Assess Your Progress?

1. Track Your Improvement: Assessments show how far you’ve come and highlight areas that need more focus.
2. Stay Motivated: Seeing tangible progress can boost your motivation and keep you engaged in your fitness journey.
3. Set Goals: Knowing your current level helps in setting realistic and challenging goals.
4. Customize Training: Assessments help tailor your workouts to your current fitness level, ensuring you’re working out at the right intensity.

Tips for Assessing Your Levels:

• Check-In: Always check your levels in Chalk It Pro before you test.
• Warm-Up: Start a few levels lower and use it as a warm-up.
• Gradual Increase: Perform a few levels before going for your level-up attempt.
• Log Performance: Whether you level up or not, log your performance. It provides valuable data for future assessments.

Remember, levels are dynamic and can change based on your training consistency, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle. They are not static and should be regularly updated to reflect your current abilities.
