Some great, easy semi-paleo dishes!

The Turkey and the Egg

1 lb ground turkey meat
1 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp red curry powder
*mix meat and spices well and fry until meat is fully cooked
Next-
3 eggs scrambled
1/3 cup chopped green onion (chives)
*add scrambled eggs and chives to the already cooked ground turkey and continue to fry until eggs are fully cooked.

-This is a tasty breakfast staple that you can add sides to for a well rounded breakfast. I would suggest a side of fresh chopped fruit or natural/organic apple sauce. If you like whole wheat bread, you can add a side of whole wheat toast too! As always, I would recommend some almond milk or soy milk but regular low fat milk is good too. Try to stay away from the refined juices.

Pretty special actually if I do say so myself.

Secondly, we will be posting a Paleo Potluck menu soon with a few dishes that are sure to please the palate and the body! Recipes will be included for those of you that want to try out these dishes.

Tickets are on sale on ticketmaster.com, for a limited time the tickets are $40 a piece for the WHOLE WEEKEND! I've already purchased mine and Holly's but if any of you want to go, you'd be more than welcome to carpool with us! We'll be leaving the 28th and coming back on the 1st of August.

Lactate Threshold

If anyone is wondering what the "Lactate Threshold" REALLY is in relation to maximal exercise, this article has some good information. I hear a lot of misinformed or partially misinformed crossfitters talking about this and it's kind of irritating to hear bad info getting passed around. My former Exercise Physiology professor at Nevada would laugh his ass off if he heard what some of these lemmings were saying abot LA Threshold!

RJ 47:30

a quote from the 2009 CrossFit Games winner Mikko Salo

"I have this thing about never going to lay on the floor after a WOD. And I think in the shirt it can be said somehow like: When animals surrender, they go laying on their back on the floor. Mikko never lays on his back on the floor."

RJ

Hey RJ, Curtis said that we might be able to come down to Vegas for a weekend in the near future. If so, we should all get together for a few wods. That would be a lot of fun. Also, try the workout called "RJ". Its a Hero (fallen soldier) wod if Im not mistaken. You might wanna give it a try.

Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters

anyone still looking for nutrition tips or healthy recipes that fuel the body for optimum CrossFit? here is a link

Check out this site,

http://www.everydaypaleo.com/

I dont follow the "Paleo Diet" to a T but I take the basic principles along with Whole9 and add a bit of my own flair. But this site has great recipes and ideas for daily/weekly food preparation.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Functional Movements, Executed at a High Intensity Across Broad Time and Modal Domains

I can't stress enough the importance of varying your workouts. Its not only important to vary your movement types, movement reps, combinations of movements, lengths of workouts and equipment used for movements. It is also important to diversify your training environment as well as your "mode of high intensity". What I mean by this is, instead of always working out in the same gym area or same local park or wherever the hell you work out, switch up your environment. Switch between indoor and outdoor wods, change the temperature and overall "feel" of your environment. This fits in perfectly with the CrossFit motto of preparing for the "Unknown and Unknowable". I was watching a show on sports science the other day and the researchers were discussing the affect of cold and hot temperatures on the athletes and their ability to perform. Muscle coordination (neurological function)-(reaction time), breathing and overall comfort are all affected when temperatures reach either end of the spectrum. Varying adaptability to many different environments enhances our ability to perform and improves our overall fitness.
Many people often find certain tasks more annoying or as I like to call it "challenging" to do when it is windy outside. If there is a particularly windy day outside, work out outside. Its a real life situation that will challenge you to adapt to and overcome a circumstance you will be faced with on any given day. Our bodies, much like our minds can only learn what we teach them to know. For example, it would be ludacris for me to sit you down and give you a random test on the history of Uzbekistan when you probably don't have the first damn clue about it. Wouldn't it be equally ludacris for me to have you slide across a frozen sheet of ice on your feet and stay perfectly balanced and standing (like many children like to do on a winter day), if you had never even walked on ice before? You would probably eat shit trying to do it. This is why we PRACTICE many different skills in different environments. Our bodies adapt and learn to deal with the elements at hand. The more skills we acquire, the "fitter" we are for our many different environments that we encounter and have to work through.
