Prepared?

We've had about 20 people declare what category they'll fall in for The STAY RIGHT THROUGH WINTER Challenge: Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Performance. By signing up, you'll receive a special PDF today regarding specific training and specific nutritional guidelines. Declare yourself asap!

----

Throughout the challenge I will be posting the WOD Monday through Saturday. You've been taught the majority of these movements (if not, I suggest going to our Foundations On-Ramp program).

If you cannot perform the movement as prescribed, please do not be afraid to modify. I'd rather have you moving than spending 10 minute on one rep.

Spending 8 min is okay (;

WOD:

"ANGIE"

for time:
100 pullups
100 pushups
100 situps
100 squats

One of the benchmark girls! Time to fill up the Leaderboard. Finish all pullups before moving onto the pushups, and so on. Full range of motion on each exercise. Hold the standard. Scale as needed (50 or 75 reps)

QOD:

While speaking of nutrition, the more wholesome and truly natural (unchanged from the Earth) the food is, the better. If you've ever heard of Gerson Therapy, they say that eating natural foods and some other natural "methods" can cure disease, like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. I googled (is that really a verb now?) Gerson because of the movie The Beautiful Truth. I don't believe that you can cure such serious diseases with diet (and enemas?*), but something should be said in living a healthier lifestyle and fueling your body with nutritious natural-occuring foods- not something a scientist created in a lab which is 70%-90% corn product.

This is what the CrossFit/Paleo/Primal/Zone diet, etc. stand behind: treat the PROBLEM, not the SYMPTOM. People get so caught in fixing the stink of the smelly person by changing their clothes and never making the victim shower. The entire drug and food industry is controlled by people who want to make money. Telling people to be responsible for their own health by eating readily available produce would make them nothing.

You are the hero of your own story.

You're obviously committing to making fitness a lifestyle priority, but how is your nutrition?
