Check out this Throwback Overhead Mobility Routine brought to you by Amy. Try it out and watch those overhead numbers go up!
Just a reminder that we have not one, but TWO nurtrition challenges kicking off next week, on Sunday, September 20th. If you missed the lectures this week, it’s not too late to get involved! Read the descriptions below and decide which challenge is best for you. Stop by the desk and grab a packet to read up, and ask a coach any questions you may have. Benchmarks and baseline measurements will happen next week, so get signed up!
Paleo Challenge
What: This is our classic, 6-week Paleo Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to eat nothing but real, whole foods for the duration of the six weeks. Eat only meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. You’ll record your daily food intake and we’ll track some baseline measurements (weight, hips, waist), along with some benchmarks in the gym. At the end of the challenge, the goal is to be leaner, stronger and faster… and much healthier!
Who: This challenge is for EVERYONE! If you are new to CrossFit or Paleo, now is the time to join in with the support of your fellow workout buddies. Seasoned CrossFitter looking to reel the diet back in and drop some pounds? Paleo can help!
Performance Nutrition Challenge
What: This challenge focuses on using food as fuel to improve your performances in the gym day after day. You often hear “you are what you eat,” but when it comes to setting PRs and consistently performing in the gym… you’re not only what you eat, but how much and when you eat it. This challenge will force you to consider macros and nutrient timing. At the end of the challenge, we hope to see improvements across all benchmarks.
Who: Done a paleo challenge once or twice before and looking for something new? Are you working as hard you can in the gym every day, eating well already, but feeling like you need to go the next step? Or maybe you feel sluggish during workouts with your current diet and can’t figure out what the problem is? This challenge is for you!
