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. These are the first words of World Class Fitness in 100 words.
Nutrition is one of the trickiest subjects not named politics and religion. There are so many different views and opinions that serve to really cloud the information. It can be really confusing and maddening.
At CFWH we think nutrition is extremely important to overall health and goes hand in hand with getting your workout in. So we try to provide great opportunities to learn more about this confusing subject.
Lucky for us January 8, CFWH will be hosting Dallas Hartwig and Melissa Urban of Whole 9 Life. They present a very clear look at what foods makes us healthy and what foods make us less healthy. The workshop is perfectly timed for the weekend of January 8, 2010.
We highly reccomend going to this workshop. The information is invaluable in this world where food quality has gone down and diseases have gone up. You can register here. Register by 12/24/10 to receive a discount,

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

On January 21st, CrossFit West Houston turned ten years old. Ten years in business is a pretty big milestone. Big milestones offer a time to reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly. Certainly, there has been all those things in the last decade, but from all of that there were lessons. The last […]

Did some burpees mid-yoga training this weekend in Austin and had to do 11 yesterday to make up for forgetting on Sunday. 11 wasn’t easy with real push ups!
I learned some awesome acrobatics yoga this weekend.. come to yoga Weds or Sunday this week if you want to try some! My favorites are the headless headstand and downdog pyramids.

My WOD today:
Running down 47 flights of stairs because the fire alarm rendered all the elevators useless, only to get a loudspeaker announcement at floor 2 that the elevators were now operational. Then running down my bus two stops away as my non-CFing coworker tells me to go on without her.
I heart CF. So many practical uses!

My CF WOD today: be wheelchaired out of the hospital, and make it to the couch. For time.
It’s a miracle I’m alive after what I’ve been though! (just kidding :), surgery was extremely smooth!). Already at home and taking lots of pain meds. Thanks for all the well wishes! I’ll be by the gym as soon as I possibly can to show off my scars.
