Stretch…

Today we had time remaining in class after the WOD and I encouraged you to stay and stretch instead of hurrying off to home/work/store. Flexibility is important to your athleticism and overall well-being. Making stretching a regular part of your daily routine will likely result in improved flexibility, which means a better squat, an improved overhead position, etc. and can make you less prone to injury. Come take one of Sasha’s yoga classes, buy a yoga DVD and downward dog in the privacy of of your own home, or hang out after the WOD and stretch those warm muscles – you will never regret being more flexible.

Body Fat, Muscle-Ups, and Open Gym

A few reminders:

  • If you are interested in getting your body fat tested, register at the front desk.  Registration will be open through 4/30, however we will open up time slots to non-CFBF athletes after Friday at 5pm.  You can read more about Bod Pod testing here.
  • If you have your unassisted pull-ups and dips, join us for a Muscle-Up Skill Session on Sunday from 8am to 9am.  Sign up on the whiteboard by the rowers.
  • We will have Open Gym this Sunday morning from 9-10:30.  This is not a coach led class, but rather a time for you to come in and work on your skills, row, or lift.

Body Fat Percentage

Want some motivation to kick your nutrition and fitness into gear?  The Bod Pod is coming to CFBF to perform a body fat assessment. Our body fat percentage is more important than the number on the scale.  You can be “skinny fat” and not weigh very much or be a lean muscle machine and the scale may make you think you are too heavy.  We need to distinguish between good weight (muscle) and bad weight (too much body fat.)  More reliable than calipers, the Bod Pod will give you an accurate reading of your body composition.  Knowing your body fat percentage is an important step during your fitness or dietary program. An accurate body composition analysis provides a baseline for tracking progress, in addition to offering motivational feedback along the way.  Read more about the Bod Pod here.

We will host the Bod Pod on Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 6th.  Retesting will take place the weekend of June 16th and 17th.

Here is the skinny (pun definitely intended):
  1. Sign up at the front desk between 4/23 and 4/30.
  2. Cost is $50 and includes both pre and post test.
  3. Check or cash only.  Checks made payable to Greg Neal.  We usually don’t have change at the gym so if you bring cash, please try and bring exact amount.
  4. You do not have to follow a certain nutrition program but I can tell you from experience that if you want to lose fat and maintain your lean muscle you will want to follow a diet that consists of an adequate amount of protein, healthy fats and  non-processed carbs.  For anyone who signs up for the bod pod testing, I will email you links to some of our favorite resources that will point you in the right direction.
  5. Nutrition coaching is also available at an additional cost.  Talk to a coach or email info@bodyandfuel.com for details.
  6. There is no prize money or trophies involved.   Everyone who fuels their body correctly has a greater opportunity to lose body fat, sleep better, and even perform better in the gym.  Yes, that means you can all be winners!  :)
  7. Support each other on our CFBF Nutrition Group page on facebook.  Ask questions and share what you are doing with others.  Carie is often on there and since she is a Whole30 Forum moderator, you can bet she will be an excellent resource.
  8. Any questions?  Ask Dawna or email info@bodyandfuel.com.
WOD
The workout begins with 4 burpees and then at the top of each minute each athlete will stop and perform 4 burpees and then continue on with the workout.  26 min. cap.
