You set your daily calorie count, then you log in what you eat and it counts your calories. If you don't know, you take a picture of it and it calculates it for you. Check it out.
Also, there will just be a 5:30 WOD on Friday so we can all workout and eat food. Invite anyone you like to partake in the festivities and check out what an awesome gym you belong to.
Also, we will not have coaches leading classes the week of Christmas. The gym is always open for anyone to come in and work out. I'll let you know if anyone is planning to go in at a regular time so you may join them.

Then
2 Rounds
60 second row for max calories
Don't forget to tell everyone you know about our "pay for January get February Free" deal.
O.K. Ready for some "Biggest Winner" Rules!!!

You must be an active member of the gym, working out at our facility 3 to 6 times a week. If you work out at The Militia Box 3 times a week and do other things like run, do yoga, static heavy lifting, etc...at another facility you can count those workouts for a point. But at least 3 times in a week you must work out at The Militia Box.

Everyone, no matter what diet, is allowed a free day to eat what ever they want. Pick that ONE day and stick to it.

$50 buy in...but you have a chance to earn most of your money back.

Each day you may earn your money back. If you don't get perfect points (a blue star) you lose your days worth of money and it will go into the pot for the winning team.

There is a total of 46 days in this diet. 6 of those days are full cheat days, leaving 40 days to not cheat. Your $50 goes into the pot for the winning team to get. $10 of that $50 will automatically stay in the pot, but you have the chance to win $40 of that back yourself. Each day you follow the point system perfectly you earn a $1 for that day. If  you miss just one of the points or cheat in any way in your eating according to the diet plan you pick you relinquish that daily $1 to the winning teams pot, which in turn brings your team down in points. The winning team on Feb 15th will split the pot of money.

Point System...

1 Point for not going outside the boundaries in your diet plan. If you are unsure if what you are about to stick in your mouth is not part of zone, paleo or Four Hour Body, "DON'T EAT OR DRINK IT!" If you do you lose your point and $1.

1 Point for drinking 64oz of water every day

1 Point for taking your daily fish oil AND vitamin. If you have a problem burping up fish oil, put it in the freezer.

1 Point for exercising that day. (if you work out more than once in a day you still only get one point).

There will be an extra credit point given each day for reading 6 chapters from the New Testament, starting in Matthew and ending in Revalation. What a great way to start the New Year than reading through the New Testament. We all feel that we should eat right, drink enough water, take care of and exercise the body God gave us, take our daily vitamins and fish oil, but we should also take care of the mind and soul that God gave us and feed and water it with His Word.
Extra credit does not negate anything bad you've eaten, but all participants who complete the reading will go into a drawing at the end for a prize.

Each day you must put a star for the previous days accomplishments.
A blue star for a total of 4 points
A red star for a total of 3 points.
A Gold star for a total of 2 points.
A Silver star for a total of 1 point.
A colorful dot when you have done your daily bible reading along with your star.

Posters will be on the wall in the gym.

Sit Ups
It's Friday, Militant's so everyone get your butts in the gym before you cheat this weekend.
Here are some valuable cues to a sound squat.
Many encourage identical behaviors.

1. Start with the feet about shoulder width apart and
slightly toed out.
2. Keep your head up looking slightly above parallel.
3. Don’t look down at all; ground is in peripheral
vision only.
4. Accentuate the normal arch of the lumbar curve
and then pull the excess arch out with the abs.
5. Keep the midsection very tight.
6. Send your butt back and down.
7. Your knees track over the line of the foot.
8. Don’t let the knees roll inside the foot.
9. Keep as much pressure on the heels as possible.
10. Stay off of the balls of the feet.
11. Delay the knees forward travel as much as
possible.
12. Lift your arms out and up as you descend.
13. Keep your torso elongated.
14. Send hands as far away from your butt as
possible.
15. In profile, the ear does not move forward during
the squat, it travels straight down.
16. Don’t let the squat just sink, but pull yourself
down with your hip flexors.
17. Don’t let the lumbar curve surrender as you settle
in to the bottom.
18. Stop when the fold of the hip is below the knee –
break parallel with the thigh.
19. Squeeze glutes and hamstrings and rise without
any leaning forward or shifting of balance.
20. Return on the exact same path as you descended.
21. Use every bit of musculature you can; there is no
part of the body uninvolved.
22. On rising, without moving the feet, exert pressure
to the outside of your feet as though you were
trying to separate the ground beneath you.
23. At the top of the stroke stand as tall as you
possibly can.

A few of you haven't brought your dues in. Please get those in.

Diet
The CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows:
Protein should be lean and varied and account for about
30% of your total caloric load.
Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic
and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.
Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and
account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of
protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your
activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout
loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.
What Should we eat?


In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables,
especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little

starch, and no sugar. That’s about as simple as we can
get. Many have observed that keeping your grocery cart
to the perimeter of the grocery store while avoiding
the aisles is a great way to protect your health. Food is
perishable. The stuff with long shelf life is all circumspect
Modern diets are ill suited for our genetic composition.
Evolution has not kept pace with advances in agriculture

and food processing resulting in a plague of health
problems for modern man. Coronary heart disease,
diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity and psychological
dysfunction have all been scientifically linked to a diet
too high in refined or processed carbohydrate. Search
“google” or “Alta Vista” for Paleolithic nutrition, or diet.
The return is extensive, compelling, and fascinating. The
Caveman model is perfectly consistent with the CrossFit
prescription.


What Foods Should I Avoid?
Ecessive consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates
is the primary culprit in nutritionally caused health
problems. High glycemic carbohydrates are those that
raise blood sugar too rapidly. They include rice, bread,
candy, potato, sweets, sodas, and most processed
carbohydrates. Processing can include bleaching, baking,
grinding, and refining. Processing of carbohydrates
greatly increases their glycemic index, a measure of their
propensity to elevate blood sugar.


What is the Problem with
High-Glycemic Carbohydrates?The problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates is that
they give an inordinate insulin response. Insulin is an
essential hormone for life, yet acute, chronic elevation
of insulin leads to hyperinsulinism, which has been
positively linked to obesity, elevated cholesterol levels,
blood pressure, mood dysfunction and a Pandora’s box
of disease and disability. Research “hyperinsulinism” on
the Internet. There’s a gold mine of information pertinent
to your health available there. The CrossFit prescription
is a low-glycemic diet and consequently severely blunts
the insulin response.


Caloric Restriction and Longevity
Current research strongly supports the link between
caloric restriction and an increased life expectancy. The
incidence of cancers and heart disease sharply decline
with a diet that is carefully limited in controlling caloric
intake. “Caloric Restriction” is another fruitful area for
Internet search. The CrossFit prescription is consistent
with this research.
The CrossFit prescription allows a reduced caloric intake
and yet still provides ample nutrition for rigorous activity

Welcome to The Box Shirley and Jason!
If the weather holds up we would like to take you on our last trail run of the season twos Thursdays from now at about 4:30 at Celebration Park here in Melba. We will all meet at the gym at around 4:00 and drive out at 4:15.
Can I enjoy optimal health withoout being an athlete?
NO! Athletes expereience a protection from the ravages
of aging and disease that non-athletes never find.
For instance, 80-year-old athletes are stronger than
non-athletes in their prime at 25 years old. If you think
that strength isn’t important consider that strength
loss is what puts people in nursing homes. Athletes
have greater bone density, stronger immune systems,
less coronary heart disease, reduced cancer risk, fewer
strokes, and less depression than non-athletes.

If you haven't gotten your dues in please do so. If you bought a sweatshirt or t-shirt just add it to your dues.
Crossfit...Is this for me?

Absolutely! Your needs and the Olympic athlete’s
differ by degree not kind. Increased power, strength,
cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, flexibility,
stamina, coordination, agility, balance, and coordination
are each important to the world’s best athletes and
to our grandparents. The amazing truth is that the
very same methods that elicit optimal response in the
Olympic or professional athlete will optimize the same
response in the elderly. Of course, we can’t load your
grandmother with the same squatting weight that we’d
assign an Olympic skier, but they both need to squat
In fact, squatting is essential to maintaining functional
independence and improving fitness. Squatting is
just one example of a movement that is universally
valuable and essential yet rarely taught to any but the
most advanced of athletes. This is a tragedy. Through
painstakingly thorough coaching and incremental load
assignment CrossFit has been able to teach anyone
who can care for themselves to perform safely and
with maximum efficacy the same movements typically
utilized by professional coaches in elite and certainly
exclusive environments.

Fight Gone Bad

Box Jumps 20"
Row for Calories
Wall Balls 20/14#
Push Press 75/55#

1 Minute Rest

Welcome to The Box Sampson, Sterling, Kevin and Curt!!!! Hope you all had fun at the Atlas Stone class, I know I did.
An Effective Approach
In gyms and health clubs throughout the world the
typical workout consists of isolation movements and
extended aerobic sessions. The fitness community
from trainers to the magazines has the exercising public
believing that lateral raises, curls, leg extensions, sit-ups
and the like combined with 20-40 minute stints on the
stationary bike or treadmill are going to lead to some kind
of great fitness. Well, at CrossFit we work exclusively
with compound movements and shorter high intensity
cardiovascular sessions. We’ve replaced the lateral
raise with pushpress, the curl with pull-ups, and the leg
extension with squats. For every long distance effort
our athletes will do five or six at short distance. Why?
Because compound or functional movements and high
intensity or anaerobic cardio is radically more effective at
eliciting nearly any desired fitness result. Startlingly, this
is not a matter of opinion but solid irrefutable scientific
fact and yet the marginally effective old ways persist and
are nearly universal. Our approach is consistent with
what is practiced in elite training programs associated
with major university athletic teams and professional
sports. CrossFit endeavors to bring state-of-the-art
coaching techniques to the general public and athlete
who haven’t access to current technologies, research,
and coaching methods.

WOD 110212


15 Min AMRAP
1 Dip
1 Dumbbell Deadlift
2 Dips
2 Dumbbell Deadlifts
3 Dips
3 Dumbbell Deadlifts
etc.
Remember, manage your rest time...intensity and good form are the keys to getting better and getting more fit.
I am going to start putting sections of articles in here from the CrossFit journal so that we can all better understand the sport of CrossFit in short absorbable sections....Enjoy...


The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional
movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment
patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity;
and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are
natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But
no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity
to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly. Collectively,
these three attributes (load, distance, and speed) uniquely qualify functional
movements for the production of high power. Intensity is defined exactly as
power, and intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated
with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise. Recognizing that the
breadth and depth of a program’s stimulus will determine the breadth
and depth of the adaptation it elicits, our prescription of functionality and
intensity is constantly varied. We believe that preparation for random
physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events—is at odds with
fixed, predictable, and routine regimens.

Just a little idea for our Halloween Feast. If everyone brings their own favorite soup/stew/bisque/chowder/gumbo/etc..., a desert and what they desire to drink, it would be fun to taste everyone's creations. It is definately not mandatory, you may bring what ever you want, just a thought.
Also, just like to remind you about t-shirt and sweatshirt orders. Please sign up for them at the picnic table and you can pay with your November dues.

Happy Birthday Becca!!!
