Nice write up here about training after 35 and top things to avoid. Starting with of course, a pat-yourself-on-the-back for still training while being so “old”! LOL… But whats hardest for many of us old folk is trying to keep up with the youngins during WODS, its certainly nice when we beat someone half our age or even 10 years younger, but when we don’t, reality is they are younger,

Not until we became more aware of how broadly the substances we put through our digestive systems effect us, did we start to appreciate how Grains are bringing us down. “Us” meaning humans. But what seems to be last on the list of effects is our brains. Could Grains effect our brains? The studies are out there and there are many more to come as evidence mounts. Yes Grains could

As with all the dietary challenges out there, the whole point is to create a lifestyle right? To embrace the feeling of a clear mind, more energy, more confidence, buy some new clothes and create a life long habit. Another big one is a greater awareness of what makes us lethargic, cranky, tired, slow…etc. Understanding WHY we feel that way. It’s not always “work”, “the kids”, “stress”…often it’s that shitty

Water makes your body work right, keeping your giant meat tube of a body from becoming something more like stiff jerky. It’s essential for your skin, internal organs, muscle tissue, hormone function, joint health, sexual function, or your mood. Check this great read from the Barbell Shrugged boys: Click Here

We have been hearing about sugar our entire lives….and maybe thats the problem. We are at a point now after having generations grow up with sugar in virtually every meal, that we cannot begin to wrap our heads around what it has done to our society. It reacts in the brain nearly identical to Cocaine, we become addicted, overweight and the health issues follow. “The Centers for Disease Control project

Okay Beasties, so we are 5 Whole days into our Nutritional challenge here are a couple short and sweet tips to help wrap our brains around living Paleo. 1) Remember WHY you eat.

Often as Coaches we, like you, are constantly trying to keep up with information. Movements, standards, nutrition, do’s and don’ts. In this world of Fitness there are as many opinions on things as there are people in the room. “Bend at the knees” “Bend at the Hips”, “Wear a belt” “Don’t wear a belt”, “make contact” “avoid contact”. Often time just schools of thought. Old school and New school…and Newer
