WODIFY Update - Daily WOD's


"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”  — Carl Jung
 
 
WODIFY Update
 
Looks like we are cooking with gas now!  About 75% of the Dig Deep family has logged into WODIFY now.  We need 100%, so please login soon.  We also started signing into the group classes and posting our scores today.  The more we use WODIFY, the more we will love it.  It is VERY interactive.  
 
We are not making it a requirement to schedule yourself for class...yet.  That will be a requirement soon.  The coaches NEED to see what size class they are dealing with so they can properly plan the warm up...and if necessary...change the wod.  
 
We will not be capping classes unless there is squatting from the rig.  We can ONLY put 12 people on the rig and still be SAFE.  So on these days, the class will be capped at 12 students. 
 
 
Daily WOD's
 
To encourage everyone to sign in and use WODIFY... WOD's will no longer be posted to the blog. 
 
 
Previous Day WOD's
 
I will continue to take pictures of the WOD's and posting to the BLOG...however...that will end soon as well.  WODIFY needs to be used by all the athletes to store and track their results.

Eat More Fat!!


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover. –Mark Twain

CrossFit Athletes Need To Eat Fat  

I pretty much take it for granted that eating fat is a very healthy thing to do. But the media has done a great job of convincing the public otherwise. So lets take a second to cover just a few things about fat.

What’s it Good For?
Fat is needed to rebuild ALL the cells in your body, especially the cell membrane. That’s a whole lot of cells! Some estimations of 200 trillion cells or so make up the human body. Think about that. Every cell in your body requires fat for healthy replication. And all those cells make up all of you. Every last piece. That’s a lot of you and a lot of fat. Not that your fat, but you need fat. You know what I mean? 


It’s also needed in the inflammatory process, which is needed to repair damaged tissues. First the body creates prostagl
andins, using mostly omega-6′s (fat) to bring inflammation to the damaged tissue. This helps clear out energy byproduct and damaged cells, and helps bring in needed nutrition to repair the tissue. Then omega-3′s (fat) are used to create another form of prostaglandins to reduce the inflammation when it’s all healed up. So, no healing without inflammation. No inflammation without fat. Sounds like you need fat in you diet. Yup.
The brain and nervous system also rely heavily on fat for healing and repair in a similar way. Heck, your brain is somewhere between 60-75% fat! How are you going to keep that thing up and running at max capacity without eating what it’s made of? You ain’t! Thats how!

Eat Fat, Burn Fat
When we eat fat, quite simple we burn it. If our bodies are constantly being required to burn fat from the diet, they most likely will turn to stored fat for an energy source when needed. If we are eating carbs, specifically refined, we will train our bodies to burn carbs, which will hinder our ability to burn stored fat. I’m guessing that’s not what most of us have on our to-do list for the day. In addition, fat is a long lasting source of calories for you body, that will keep your energy level even throughout the day. Constant energy, I like. No energy, I don’t like. I need to smash some WODs!

Good and Bad
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, because it’s really quite simple. There is good fat and bad fat. Good fat heals you, bad fat hurts you. How do you tell the difference? Good fat comes from an organic, unprocessed source. Nuts, olives, and animals are good examples. Bad fat comes from a processed source, i.e., man made. Examples; corn oil, canola oil, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated are a few. Again, if it’s processed, meaning someone has altered the original structor of that fat, its bad for you. Bad like, creates total systemic inflammation (inflammation is everywhere, especially where you don’t want it, like you brain), hardens cell membranes, reduces insulin receptors, (which can make you more inflamed and fatter, potentially contributing to diabetes), and on and on. Don’t eat it is what I’m getting at. It will truly hurt you.

Hopefully this little bit on fat helps you start to realize the importance of this essential nutrient to your health and well being, and since I’m talking to crossfiters, your performance! So starting eating fat, it’s good for you.

5 Ways to get the most out of your WOD


"There are two primary choices in life...to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them" -Denis Waitley


Five Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Hour at the Box
 Heather Hippensteel (CrossFit Invictus)


For most of you, your daily one-hour workouts are the kick start to your morning, a bright spot in the middle of your day, or a well deserved release at the end of a long day....and it is our job (coaches) to make that one hour be the best parts of your day and help you take steps to achieve your goals to a happier, healthier you! Here are some ways for you to help us make that happen and for you to get the most out of your class!

1. Be on time and stay until everyone is finished. Being here when class starts, or better yet, a few minutes before, ensures that you don’t miss any of what we have planned for you when you step through the doors. While we understand that there will be times when you get stuck at home or at work and the best you can do is get here five minutes late, try to be in the habit of arriving on time. Those few extra minutes of mobility on a daily basis might just help you get deeper into your squat or a little bit faster on your run. Also, always stay until the last person is finished! Support and encouragement from everyone in the class is what makes a community great, and packing up if you finish before everyone else takes away from the camaraderie built from cheering on your friends.

2. Pay attention. Don’t be the person that asks “what are we doing again?” after the coach has just explained the workout. When your coach is briefing you on the workout, make sure you are paying attention to what they are saying. Don’t worry; there will be time to chat with your buddies during the strength portion, so save the chit chat for later. In addition to giving you the specifics of the workout, your coach may give you strategy to implement during the conditioning, or explain why you are squatting at a tempo, so give them your attention and try to learn something new every day!

3. Watch other people move. Not in a creepy way, but watching how others squat, push, pull, run, and jump, might just help you move a little better yourself. When you are partnered up with someone else in class, helping each other and giving tips here and there might just help improve your own technique. Obviously your coaches watch everyone as much as possible and give corrections, but being aware of others’ movement and paying attention to how they move, can benefit you and your fellow movers.

4. Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask your coaches questions about what you’re doing or how to make something better. If you have questions about modifying an exercise, or steps you can take to improve your shoulder mobility, ask your coaches. We are here for you! If you are concerned about something, we will do our best to resolve it and give you the best advice we can.

5. Most importantly, have fun and embrace the community! You are a part of this community, whether you’ve been here for three weeks or three years! This should be one of the highlights of your day, so come in, have fun, make friends, and give your best – for yourself, your coaches, and for everyone around you. Enjoy engaging with the other members while taking a break from responsibilities at home, work, and from your phone. Welcome the new member who just completed fundamentals, find out something new about the person you always partner with, or partner with somebody different! If we all do our best to make somebody else smile, our community becomes happier, healthier, and the one hour we spend together will be the best part of your day!

Closed Saturday! - Headcount needed for BOB


“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”  — Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Cookout Friday Night - 5am Class goes to 3 days a week


“To me, there are three things we all should do every day… Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears — could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.”   — Jim Valvano
