But almost died on Tuesday with Julie.
My body was still in recovery mode from a weekend of heavy partying so I thought I was going to take it easy on Julie’s CrossFit class on Tuesday. She had other plans. I must confess that my brain was still working only at about 50% as a result of the weekend festivities, so I’m not too sure if I was counting my reps properly (sometimes I did more, some less).

Drum roll please!!!
I am back. After a few weeks away on vacation I am back at it. My trip was definitively not kind to my midsection and I think I recovered part of what I had lost through CrossFit.

Urgh! My knees!

Saturday….a day to relax…. At least that is what I thought before I showed up for Taunya’s class at 10 AM. What I thought was going to be a leisurely Saturday workout ended up being a massacre! haha. In a good way though. Read the rest of this entry »
Alright so I was late for the CrossFit class with Pepe today. I thought the class started at 6, but oh surprise it started at 5:30. What to do…? There’s a Speed and Agility class at 6:30 if you want to stick around, said Craig. So I did. Read the rest of this entry »

We are thrilled to present you with our program which will encourage you to make healthier choices over the next 3 weeks and beyond. We have decided to concentrate on 3 main health aspects: activity, nutrition, and lifestyle. This challenge is open to tenants of the Vision Critical building.
• You will be rewarded with 1 point for participating unsupervised in 30 minutes of strenuous cardio activity or 20 minutes of weight training. While more activity is recommended, extra points will not be offered if the time is exceeded.
• Four points will be rewarded for supervised cardio activity or weight training. Supervised activities may include: attending a spin class, going to a boot camp, or being trained by a personal trainer. Participating in supervised activity will encourage you to work even harder when a group or leader are present to motivate you.
• We will also offer 2 points for those of you who post your workout score or time to our online chalkboard or in the comments of this blog post.For instance, you could post your time for completing a CrossFit workout, the distance that you ran in your workout, or any other stats.
Chalkboard and blog can be found at www.precisionathletics.ca
• Attending our Group Nutrition Consultation on Tuesday, June 8th at 6pm will provide you with the knowledge required to make healthier food choices for the rest of your life. This highly educational seminar will be worth 5 points.
• Caffeine, soft drinks (regular and diet), grain, and sugar are shortcuts to a variety of health problems such as: diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Simply lowering consumption will greatly improve energy and vitality while decreasing body fat and stress levels.
• Dehydration is often mistaken as hunger. Drinking 6-8 ounces of water prevents you from overeating and helps to maintain healthy skin and joints.
• Taking the stairs at work is a great opportunity to get in extra exercise.
• Getting enough sleep is essential for reducing stress and increasing energy levels. Sleeping early will allow your body to fully repair itself by the next morning. Sleeping before 11pm and getting 8+ hours will give you 2 points each.
• Alcohol robs the body of much-needed water. Avoid dehydrating yourself and receive 2 points.
