CrazyWife CrossFit: New Hours on Saturdays

"What is CrossFit?"

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.

Regularly learn and play new sports.

--Coach Glassman

Zone Rules for Dining Out

- Never eat the rolls. If you're going to eat carbohydrates, save it for dessert.
- Always choose a low-fat protein entre and ask to replace any starches or grains with extra vegetables.
- While waiting for dinner, have a glass of water.
- If the low-fat protein you order is significantly larger than the size of your palm, take the excess home.
- Determine whether the carbohydrates on your plate are favorable or unfavorable. If you're eating favorable carbohydrates, have double the volume of carbohydrates compared to the protein portion.
- If dining out is not complete without dessert, then don't eat any carbohydrates during the meal. Order whatever you want for dessert, but eat only half.

New Hours on Saturdays

After last Saturday's sweat-fest, we've decided if we are ever going to get in a weekend workout, we've got to start earlier. We are moving our Saturday workouts from 10:30 back to 7:30 a.m.

Come join us for a great workout while it's still relatively cool out...in Texas...in July...
