Following The Florida Sectionals

Above: The Daily Plate - Food Diary page (an example for an average female trying to lean out)
Below: Pen & Paper style WAM (breakdowns for an average male trying to improve performance & body comp, or a large male trying to lean out).
Same effect - slightly different approaches. 

NOTICE: Gym is closed on Friday & Saturday due to Florida CF Games Sectional competition in West Palm Beach. Wish good luck to all the CFEvo athletes!

To follow the performance of our crew online - go to Leo's Twitter - I'll be updating it quite often & will try to post up on Facebook when I can.

Big Lift!

The crew of the noon class after a tough WoD!
Why is that people who put themselves through rigours in any field/job/gym are happier & achieve more? Is that because by putting half assed effort you can't get anywhere? CrossFit fits beautifully in that theory.

Front Squat + Split Jerk 1-1-1-1-1, then

With a continuously running clock do one Burpee on the first minute, 2 Burpees on the 2nd minute, 3 on the 3rd... Continue as long as possible. Score is the number of minutes fully completed plus the number of burpees from the incomplete set.

What Is This? A potato?!


Watch the video & then head over to PaleoChix blog post - Please Help The Children

Some great advice in that article: "I have clients that tell me their kids are picky eaters, well so are mine, but if I do not bring cupcakes and frozen pizza in the house, they will eat what I serve.  I am in charge not the 7 or 3 year old." Also check out the comments where other parents are posting how they overcame the obstacles in their struggle with current health & school systems.

Three rounds for time of:
50 Air Squats
 7 Muscle Ups
 10 Hang Power Cleans

How many people rely on Insulin medication instead of on their brain to solve their own health problems? Because no one else is going to do it for them.

Here's a very simple article on Low Insulin Diet (aka Low Carb Diet, Atkins, Protein Power, Paleo etc) & why they work.
