September Fitness Level ChallengeAre you ready for our September Fitness Level Challenge? We did this last year and SO MANY of you asked that we do it again this year. REQUEST GRANTED! We start on next Tuesday, September 5th! For the entire month I have programmed workouts that count directly towards the 8 Fitness Level Categories:
This week, in class, we're asking all of you to tell us which of your Fitness Levels are locked. For instance, my Endurance and Long Fitness Levels only have 1 workout completed as Rx'd in the past 6 months, and therefore my Fitness Level in those categories won't be calculated until I completed 2 more qualifying workouts as prescribed. Those categories are locked until I complete a qualifying workout. Workouts that we modify or scale don't count towards our Fitness Level. I have programmed an Endurance Fitness Level workout on Sep 13. I'm also missing workouts in the Long category and I have those workouts programmed for Sep 9, 16, and 26. Why don't I have more Endurance workouts programmed? Because If I did, you would not come to class! Endurance workouts are:
Some of you might show up for 2000m and 5000m rows, but even I would skip 1 mile run day:) You can do those workouts on your own and I highly encourage you to do so! All of the workouts are loaded into BTWB and you can see them all now. So, how will you earn a prize? There are TWO WEEKLY and ONE MONTHLY prize opportunities. You can earn a prize each week if you unlock a Fitness Level Category. If you have more than 1 locked category you can earn a prize for each one you unlock. Your Coach will let you know the FL category of every WOD to help you know if it's one you need to do as prescribed. Here's an example of the. prizes from last year. I am busy make more shirts, hats, tumblers and mugs for this year! You can also earn a weekly prize for the MOST EMOJIS given on BTWB. I have the ability to track our BTWB engagement and here are top 2 most supportive people in the gym this month: I will give a prize to anyone who gives more Emojis than me each week:) Finally, we will have prizes for the top 5 people who raise their overall Fitness Level the most. Here is where we all stand this week. Our names are arranged alphabetically. Scroll through the list to see your score. Our September Fitness Level Challenge is designed to get us excited about our fitness after a summer of fun in the sun! I encourage you to stay engaged with your gym-mates via BTWB and to have some fun exploring your fitness. It's a time to CELEBRATE what we can do and perhaps develop some goals for the winter. Good luck!

How does CrossFit make you feel?
The Scherzo from Felix Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is one of the most demanding passages in flute repertoire.
It’s fast. Technical. It’s got to be both crisp and feather-light — and there’s nowhere to breathe. Naturally, Sarah Howard plays it while dragging a 225-lb sled backward across the gym. It may look like a party trick. In reality, it’s an exhibition in grit. Read the entire article here. What's For Dinner?Next week is the final week of our 800g Challenge. We are all feeling better, enjoying more energy, and loving how we feel with the increased vitamins, minerals and fiber with the 800g of fruits and vegetables we are eating every day. Next week's final bonus challenge is to eat purple fruits and vegetables. Purple foods are rich in anthocyanins, which are natural plant pigments that provide foods with their fun color. Studies have shown that anthocyanins may benefit brain health, help to lower inflammation, and fight cancer and heart disease. In addition to anthocyanins, purple foods offers other key vitamins and nutrients. My favorite purple vegetable is eggplant. Eggplant is technically a fruit (Yes! Really! Fruits have seeds and vegetables are the roots, leaves and stems of plants.) Check out this fabulous recipe courtesy of Bon Appetit. Click on the image for the recipe. |
