Nutrition Fundamentals & Party Reminder

1.8.2019

Good morning everyone! Two things:

Nutrition Fundamentals

After some reflection of services offered at CFD, I have come to realize that while I regularly offer individual nutrition advice to members, I have not offered a forum to put out some basic nutrition information guidelines in quite some time. My initial concern was fear of redundancy, but with new members joining us every month, I can’t possibly expect people to dig deep into the archives of my blogs and catch up on nutrition information I put out months or even years ago! Plus, some people may not feel comfortable disclosing their food profiles to me right off the bat.

This is why I have decided to implement a regularly recurring ‘Nutrition Fundamentals’ class every quarter. The first of these will be Tuesday, January 15th at 6:30pm (upon conclusion of the 5:30pm class). As the name implies, the course is designed to be a very basic overview of nutrition concepts. While it is always useful to re-visit the basics, some members who are well-versed in their individualized nutrition protocol may very well not be interested – that’s ok! However, if you haven’t touched on it in a while or are relatively new to hearing our two cents on nutrition protocol, it’s certainly going to be worth an hour (at most) of your time.

The agenda for this discussion will be as follows:

The health/fitness continuum
Macronutrients, defined and application
Meal sequencing
Real-world applications for adults and kids
Myths, Q&A

If you’re interested, please RSVP on WODhopper so I can have a headcount!

That’s all – see you soon!

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

How do I start?

If you are interested in speaking to a coach and learning more about our philosophy on fitness and how we can help you achieve your goals, get signed up for an introductory class! New Foundations classes start the first full week of each month, so get in for your intro class to get signed up for the upcoming month’s classes!

What do classes look like?

Each of our sessions are 100% guided and coached. Our classes are structured in smaller groups so that everyone is able to receive some individual attention. At times, we may bring in other trainers to help coach so as to not overlook anyone.

We will always begin with a dynamic warm up. This will usually consist of a few movements that ensure that the entire body is ready for the session. At this point, you should feel an elevated core temperature and maybe have a light sweat.

Next we work on skill moves. These include a variety of motions such as Olympic lifting, body awareness movements, or any number of others that fit into our programming. Coaching plays a big part in this section. Many of the movements we teach will be outside of the average skill set. Part of our goal is to broaden your base, constantly introducing new and different moves.

At this point we begin coaching the workout of the day (WOD). Often, the WOD will incorporate elements from the sessions’ skill work. After adjusting the WOD to each individual’s skill and fitness level, any last minute questions are answered. Then, it’s 3 2 1 GO! And we’re off!!

Are the coaches qualified?

We pride ourselves in the knowledge of our trainers. Each and every one of our trainers are qualified to guide you along your CrossFit journey. We also believe that continuing education is paramount to the success our of members, so we help our coaches get any additional training that will advance their knowledge in the field.
