What is CrossFit?

So you’ve caught a glimpse of The Crossfit Games on ESPN, heard some of your friends raving about getting their ass kicked in some place referred to as a “Box” and probably mentioning the term “burpees”, now you want to know what this new method of training is?

   

In an effort to best explain more about what CrossFit is, I’ve taken the definition from a local box, CrossFit Scottsdale:

•  “CrossFit is an incredibly effective method of burning fat and building muscle. It is a core strength and conditioning program. We perform functional movements at high intensity, giving you a comprehensive full-body workout in under an hour. Classes are instructor-led, and peer-driven, providing an excellent mixture of individual coaching and group motivation. Workouts are constantly varied and unique, which means every workout uses different exercises, universal standards and completion criteria, ensuring that you always make progress and never get bored. Some exercises will be familiar and many will be new, you will always be challenged to achieve elite fitness. Anyone can excel at CrossFit, and everyone who is committed will. It will change your life and how you view health and fitness. You will never be expected to lift weights beyond your fitness level or perform movements beyond your skill set. However, you will always be coached, encouraged and challenged to improve your performance and test your skill set.” And for those visual learners out there here is a video from CrossFitHQ answering the questions "What is CrossFit?"

 Hopefully that gave you some more insight as to why you might want to give your local CrossFit box near you a try. Search for the best-rated box using my favorite search tool Yelp of course-http://www.yelp.com

Coffee with an herbal twist- Gano Cafe

So what if I told you the herbal twist in the coffee is...mushrooms! I know, crazy right. That's what I thought some years back when I first heard about it. But not just your classic button or shitake mushroom, this is a specific chinese medicinal mushroom (read more here). And to be honest, the flavors are great, and I get amped. Yet this specific blend of coffee has no caffeine which is why it has my stamp of approval. I've been drinking the 3-in-1 but excited to try the ginseng infused batch when it comes in this week. Either way, if your an avid coffee drinker, this is worth a try.

Motivational Quote-Helen Keller

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”-Helen Keller

The big takeaway from this is to find what ur spending ur time focusing on. If its not progressing you, then forget it and move on.

SLEEP MUSIC- fall asleep fast! Shamanic Drums Inducing Theta Wave Deep Sleep

One of the most frequent negative behaviors I hear from my clients is that they have trouble falling asleep or just getting good sleep in general. So I decided to make this video, I mashed up a few songs that I have been using recently that KNOCK ME OUT FAST! Seriously within 5 minutes I'm out cold. If someone can make it to the end of this video, then you have to lay off the crack because theres no way. I put together some cool dream pics intertwined with some cool transitions to induce your sleep state.
