Greatist Workout of the Day: Friday October 26th

This week marks the end of the first GWOD cycle. Next week we’ll begin with a new cycle of programming.If you’ve been following GWODs for at least a few weeks, this week is an opportunity to rest, recover, and try some new, fun activities before the next cycle begins. Try a yoga class, go on a bike ride, and get outdoors! Normal programming begins again next week.

Perhaps you can post the entire week's workouts on the Friday or weekend prior. There have been multiple times that the current day's workouts were not posted on time.

@Jimbo27 Hi Jimbo, apologies for the delay in postings this week, we're without power in much of NYC. Should be back to normal tomorrow!
