There's few people who enjoy Mondays, let alone Monday mornings.
Getting out of bed is near impossible for most of us on a Monday and it usually involves multiple alarms or large coffees. However, there is a special group of very motivated people that meet in the middle of the oval on Monday mornings at 6am to work out.
The group is called GRIND and was formed by three Ohio State students, Ashley Kloeb, Meg Melotti and Des Desmond. These dedicated students manage to climb out of bed and take part in a tough, vigorous work out.
Members of the group are training to compete in or have competed in various physical competitions such as marathons and bike races. The workout is a little over an hour long and starts with a quick warm up jog towards the football stadium. The jog is followed up by circuits, plyometrics, and suicides on the fields near the stadium.
The group aims to get in a full body work out all before the sun comes up. They try to incorporate individual, partner, and team work outs that are challenging and fun. Members of what they refer to as the GRIND community are people who love to work out and are dedicated to doing so even if it means dragging themselves out of bed. After their exhausting work out, the group likes to go out to breakfast to just hang out and relax together. They usually make their group breakfast trips to Hang Over Easy or Ethyl and Tank.
Overall, GRIND is a group of committed individuals who, after challenging their bodies, like to share some good food together. If anyone is at all interested they should attend one of their Monday morning workouts and see how awesome they feel the rest of the day. What's better than a great workout and great food?
