PALEO BABY!

Lets gather round the fire and eat some Tatanka kids!
(It's a "dances with wolves" reference people)

The wonders of the Navy community has brought to us - a paleo guru! I know many of you are playing around with starting the paleo diet and want to learn more about it. However, my beer guzzling, milk drinking, coffee-addict-ness is inadequate in giving you good advice. ;) Fortunately, Travis Schefcik, from California (they have happy cows there I hear), has graciously offered a free paleo lecture to our current crossfitters! This will take place at 5pm on Thursday, February 10.

Please dress warmly as we MAY end up having to move outside due to basketball players, body pump music or whatever. I'll see if I can find other accommodations, but in the meantime - prepare to be flexible. He plans on giving us about 30 mins of lecture and then he will answer questions. Travis is also a level 1 certified crossfit instructor. His website is uncommonwellness.com if you'd like to stalk him a little before you meet him. Maybe he will be like Tony Horton and show you his abs... actually maybe he won't. Cheers!

"Fight Gone Bad"

3 Rounds:

Wall-Ball, (20/14...10 ft target) (Reps)

Sumo Deadlift High-Pull, (75/55) (Reps)

Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)

Push-Press, (75/55) (Reps)

Row (Calories)



In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for 3 rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of 'rotate,' the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.




The Bad Ass Chick in black sports bra and black yoga pants is Lisa Ray - who was one of Cindy's and Erin's Coaches at their Level one Certification.

Please remember to bring a pad of paper ready to go for your partner to score you with. It should look something like this after the WOD:

I challenge you to a duel!

Announcing the Pullup/Muscle up Challenge

Start Date: February 7
End Date: March 7

-The Goal of the challenge is to move up in level. So on your Start date (feb 7), if you can peform 10-20 jumping kipping pullups, but cannot perform 10 "kip and releases", then you are on level 3 to start. By the end of the month you will attempt to progress to level 4 or 5 or 6.
-You want to attempt to get "most improved" by March 7.
-You can do the pullup portion, the muscle up portion, or both.
-You will find your starting "level" on Monday February 7th
-Re-test will be on March 7th
-You may use bands to help you progress - but you must perform the level on test day without bands.
-Each level must be performed "unbroken" unless otherwise specified.
-You will be expected to practice before or after the wod, or on your own time.  Please use common sense and do not practice so much that you hurt yourself.  Build in rest days.  Take care of your hands.
