Featured in Born to Run by Chris McDougall, I've altered the recipe slightly. Bullet time!
Ingredients
- 16.9oz Water
- 2 tbsp Chia seeds
- 4 tbsp Lime juice (freshly-squeezed preferred)
- Agave nectar/raw honey to taste (optional)
- Drink a small bit of water to create some room in the bottle
- Add chia seeds to water
- Add lime juice and (optional) agave
- Shake and let sit for a minimum of 10 minutes
- DRINK AND ENJOY!
Benefits
- Water = hydration!
- Chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
- Lime juice provides a dose of Vitamin C
- Agave nectar/raw honey provides quick glucose and replenishes blood sugars
There are some cautions, however.
If planning on having Iskiate on an extended run or workout session, add another 8 to 10 oz. of water to the chia gel. Since the chia seeds are so absorbent, they could potentially dehydrate you if not accompanied by an ample of water.

WOD
"Gymnastics Gone Bad"
3 rounds for max quality.
1-min stations of:
- chest-to-deck hollow
- back bridge
- upper arm support
- handstand
- top-of-pullup
There is no score element to this workout. Max quality means max effort. Holding these isometric positions will still kick your butts.
