Primal Eating, Modern Table - PROGRAM LAUNCH!

Are you looking to RECLAIM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD?
If you even hestitated in to answer this question - I strongly encourage you look into CrossFit Central's very own, Crystal Nelson's new project.



About the program in Crystal's words:
I am excited to announce a NEW Online Nutrition Program called Primal Eating, Modern Table that Lauren Sheehan and I have created to help you make the transition to eating primal with as much support as possible. Food isn't just for fuel, and it isn't just for fun. It's the key to your ultimate happiness.

Primal eating is a sustainable, whole, and natural way of eating. Our bodies were designed and evolved to flourish in the environment of our hunter gatherer ancestors. In human's quest to make things "easier" and "more efficient" we lost touch with the perfect simplicity of our roots. We believe that if we can eat the way our hunter gatherer ancestors ate (while adapting it to our modern lifestyles), our bodies can function at their highest potential, eliminate risk for disease and create the space for personal growth. Not only do we beleive this, we have experienced the power of primal food in our own lives and our clients lives.
Primal Eating, Modern Table is an eight week online nutritional journey where each person learns to experience food as nature intended. Our mission is to empower you to not just know, but to experience that food is the root, the support, and the essential element to reaching your highest potential. We teach you how to eat foods that your body is designed to eat and how to make it work for you and your whole family.

This will change your life!! The best part about this program is that it can reach anyone, anywhere. Please pass on the word. Sometimes, it's hard to influence others when you aren't near them to help with a transition to a healthier life. This is a way to do it!

Thank you,
Crystal Nelson

Livestrong Challenge - CrossFit Central Style

This weekend is the annual Livestrong Challenge in Austin! The challenge is Livestrong's signature fundraising event and as Willy (pictured above) put it "it's only our busiest week of the year". Most of the employees in the LAF Boot Camp will be too busy behind the scenes and putting on the show this weekend to actually participate in any of the events. So, Crystal and I brought the Livestrong Challenge (Double C's style of course!) to the class a bit early!

The participants for weekend's events will choose to complete a 5k run, 10mile, 20mile, 45mile, 64mile, OR 90mile bike ride.
In honor of these events, here is what the LAF crew today chose* the following workout:

5 paint brushes
run lap
10 DB push press
run lap
20 table tops
run lap
45 sprawls
run lap
65 overhead squats (team effort)
run lap
90 DB swings (team effort)
run lap

*I had 12 exercises for them to pull from a bag at random and the workout above reflects the movements pulled for the bag of choices

Congratulations to everyone who completed this challenge today and GOOD LUCK to everyone participating in the Livestrong Challenge this weekend.
