10 Tips For Success For The Crossfit Newbie

"Stepping into a Crossfit gym for the first time can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming. You might see a bunch of half-naked hard bodies showing off their ink and abs, ripping out butterfly kip after butterfly kip. You might ask yourself, “Is that person having a seizure or doing pull-ups? What’s with all the Chuck Taylors? Do they get a group rate? What’s with the guy in the corner wearing only sweatpants, shirt off, all tatted up and muttering to himself? Is he on a work-release program?” Fear not newbie; these people won’t bite. They’re actually pretty darn friendly and overly supportive once you get to know them. It can be a lot to take in at first glance, especially if you’ve had limited exposure to Crossfit prior to stepping into a box. But don’t worry; we’ve got your back. The following are 10 things to keep in mind as you begin your Crossfit journey."

Noon class today DID WORK!

CJ Antonio went H.A.M. on the row today.
Rowed himself right out of his shoes.

On being strict - Paleo

I think this article hits choosing the Paleo lifestyle on the head.  Are we doing this to punish ourselves or do we do this to get the most out of ourselves and life? Are you doing this because you love your life? Attitude is everything.

"If your fear-based decison to "go strict" fails, then what?  Guilt.  Anger.  Shame.  "Why did I eat all that?  What is wrong with me that I can't NOT eat this? I KNOW this is bad for me, but I ate/drank/ did it anyway?"  Been there, done that. Destructive toxic emotions that beg for punishment.  Do you see the cycle?"

"If you base your decisions from a place of love, as in, "my body functions best on this meal plan" can't you see how much healthier this attitude is for you?  And sustainable?  It is the same if you were caring for a small child or pet, and nutrition, exercise/play and napping (!) are paramount to their thriving.  So it is with you.  Make changes because you love you.  You don't need to discipline yourself, I guarantee  that what you really need is to love yourself.  Then when you are deviating, if you even do so at all, you do so with a clear conscience: no baggage, no guilt."

Have you ever felt like you were going to just pass out and die - EVERYDAY - around 5PM?

"Have you ever felt like you were going to just pass out and die - EVERYDAY - around 5PM?

You started out sore and achy at 4:15 to begin with, and then you add more bruises and callouses (even with gloves, long sleeves and long pants). But then afterwards, after you pass out, collapse, see heaven's gates open wide, and then catch your breath, begin to feel your limbs again a little, the fog clears from your head, you remember your name and who you are, and you can crawl up off the floor, you feel SUPER GREAT!!!

Any PR's?? Post on Comments

Motivation - Sandy Phan(tastic!)

Sandy showing excellent form


"I have been with KCF since May 2010 and have been dedicated to 4-6 days a week in addition to doing extra workouts outside the box ever since. My weight has not changed since day 1 but do know that my body composition is entirely different and have lost a lot of fat %age vs lbs.

Soooo...it is to my great surprise that I have lost 5 lbs this week! Thank you Paleo!

Point is: Stick with it! Don't be discouraged. Fight the temptation to cheat. Fitness is like watching your hair grow...It is a gradual process but you know it's happening!"

3.Box Jump: 20" box (Reps)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

(3 Rounds Only!! Pair Up. One person will complete the WOD while your partner counts your reps. We will attempt to have 2 heats per class.)

011311 WOD

Warm-up:
30 Double-unders
15 Med ball Cleans
10 Ring Dips
3 rounds

WOD:

This is a "Football" WOD I picked-up from CrossFit One World website. Unfortunately, you aren't actually playing football but I promise you this is just as fun!

This is a three man team workout. Each team will play two 12 minute halves with a 5 minute half time.

Scoring is as follows:

* A touchdown is scored when a three man team completes 60 wall balls and 60 thrusters (45/35). Only two team members can be working at one time, and you cannot have the two team members working on the same exercise. If you score a touchdown, the team must complete 100 doubles-unders as a team for the extra point. (If you drop an unloaded bar that is minus 5 off your total reps!)
* A field goal is scored when the three man team completes 60 KB swings and 60 box jumps. Only two team members can be working at one time, and you cannot have the two team members working on the same exercise.

Huge bonus points if you perform this workout wearing some sort of clothing supporting your favorite football team.

The caveman diet aka The Paleo Diet

Article published today about the Paleo Diet
“The essential principle is we spent 19 million years evolving to eat a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and 10,000 years ago we had the agricultural revolution,” says Lurene Grenier, 28, of Severna Park, who has been eating the Paleo diet for two years. “The upside of that revolution is it helped build up society. The downside is it made us very sick.”

Thus, the Paleo diet is an attempt for humans to “eat the way we did before the agricultural revolution,” says Grenier, who works as a security researcher and trains clients at a Glen Burnie gym, Crossfit BWI.
That means no grains, no dairy and, above all, no sugar. Or, in other words: no Joe Squared pizza, Starbucks’ macchiatos or Sugarbakers’ red velvet cake"

Paleo Challenge 2011

Paleo Challenge 2011 will begin on Saturday January 8. We will be conducting 1 Round of Baseline followed by a WOD. We will also be taking pictures and answering any questions you may have regarding the challenge on Saturday. If you can't make it on Saturday we can do the baseline workout during the week.


So here are the details:

7 weeks, simple Paleo diet. This means no processed foods or grains. Simply follow the motto: Eat meats and vegetable, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar.

Entry Fee: $15

Scoring:
You will be required to keep track of your eating in a Nutrition log Monday thru Friday. Saturday and Sunday will be optional. Remember the 80/20 rule we talked about – we want you to eat clean at least 80% of the time. From this log you will give yourself a score of 0-4 based on your compliance with the Paleo Diet. There will be a "Paleo Challenge Scoreboard" at King CF where daily scores will be posted by all participants.

Four Points: (100% Compliance) You are a hunter-gatherer (meat, veggies, some fruit, nuts and seeds).

Three Points: (99% Compliance) One time during the day, you had a little something that wasn’t paleo, but wasn’t horrible. For example, some peanuts, green beans, or hummus, a little cream in your coffee.

Two Points: (90-98% Compliance) You slipped…but didn’t get hurt. You had a small amount of “not real food”. Maybe it was a fully Paleo day, but you couldn’t resist having a beer at the family BBQ, or you finished your kids mac ‘n cheese, but the rest of your day was solid.

One Point: (80-89% Compliance) Most of your day was Paleo, but there was one full meal that you fell off the wagon. Maybe it was the rolls at dinner, a sandwich, pasta, a soda, juice or bag of popcorn, two slices of pizza, or a drink or two…Not three.

Zero Points: You had a bad day and made more than one solid mistake. Three drinks, dessert, a couple slices of pizza or more than one processed meal.

You will need to provide us your food log weekly. Food Log sheets will be provide at the box. You can also download the Food Log on our website.

Pictures: Pictures this year WILL be mandatory. To be qualified for any of the winnings you must provide a before and after picture. Front, side, and back view. Men are in shorts. Women are in shorts and sports bra/bikini top. We can take the pictures or you can have someone at home do it for you. We must have your after picture no later than Feb 17.

Performance: One round of King CF “baseline” workout. (500m row, 40 squat, 30 sit-ups, 20 push-ups 10 pull-ups)

Winner: At the end of the challenge the top five performers will be selected based on:
1. Scoring: points from turning in daily nutrition log and working out at the box.
2. Performance Improvements: One round of the King CF baseline workout; and
3. After pictures. Taken within two days of the finish of the Challenge. Trainers pick top 3 men and women whose body composition changed the most (based on pictures only).

We will announce the winners on February 19th.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS.
