September 30, All Paleo, All October

Dr Andy’s All Paleo, All October Throwdown

Dr Andy has thrown down a challenge.  Do you dare take him up on it?  Do you dare ignore it?

Dr Andy dares YOU

The challenge is to eat an all-paleo diet for all of October, ending at our rocking Halloween Party!  This will be like a pick-up game–no buy in, no prizes, just pride.  Coaches are available for nutrition check-ups, as always.  If you would like measurements taken and before/after pictures, come into the office.

Why?  Because Nutrition is the base of your development as an athlete.  We are still compiling the results from our 10 week challenge, but there have been some impressive changes made.  Jenny appears to be leading the total weight loss competition with over 21 pounds!  What can you do in 30 days?

September 29, The CrossFit Journal

Thursday, 29 September 2011 By

We have used the analogy in the past that you are working on obtaining a black belt in fitness.  This requires an understanding of how your body works and how different exercises affect your performance.

The best source for knowledge I know is the CrossFit Journal.  For only $25 per year you get UNLIMITED access to a phenomenal wealth of knowledge.
