Paleo Challenge Contestants…..Please Post weekly points on Paleo Challenge Site!

We now have a Testimonial section to our website.  If you scroll down you should see it on the left hand side.  It is the link labeled “Testimonials”.  Please feel free to leave (serious) comments on your CFCM experiences.

Today we will be starting our Fitness Levels.  The levels are classified as Beginner, Advanced, Rx’d, Elite, and Mutant.  During the next month all members will be working to see which level they will fall into.  All the levels have a series of Athletic Standards.  When attempting to advance a level, all members will have 1 month to complete all of the listed Athletic Standards.  Our daily Posts will now consist of a Warmup, Test, and WOD.  The “Test” portion of the post will be the Athletic Standards as Rx’d.  You will scale the Test to which ever level you are working on.  We feel this program will help members better track their progress, and also help show them their weaknesses that need improvement.  If you have any questions do hesitate to ask one of us.

Warmup

10 Burpees
10 Double Unders

Test
1.5 Pood Kettlebell Swing, 20 Reps

"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 handstands, 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!" CrossFit Inc.
