What our people say about us…

"I have been exercising and dieting for YEARS and in three months doing CrossFit I am able to do things I never thought possible and I look GREAT!! and my husband tells me almost every day!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!" -Barbara C.

"Chatting with a neighbor the other day about the triathlons I have coming up, 'Do it now, you'll have to slow down when you get to be my age'. He's 36. I'll be 45 next month. Thanks CrossFit!" - David P.

"Not only has my doctor taken me off of his diabetes 'watch list', but I have not had a single migraine in almost 5 months. The advice on how to eat the way my body was designed alone has literally changed my life... and I'll be bikini ready by my birthday!!!" - Angela S.

"The other day my coach called me 'Lightning'! I am the fastest kid on my team! The training on how to start and stop helped A LOT and the stength work with the guys is AWESOME, I'm going to be the fastest AND strongest on my team next season!" -Alex W.

The Truth About Lactic Acid

Another incredibly useful series by Steven Low, who writes EatMoveImprove

The Truth About Lactic Acid

Lactic acid has been unfairly demonized for everything from delayed onset muscle soreness to cramping to robbing banks. Well, maybe not robbing banks, but you get the point.

In this article we will dispel all myths about lactic acid, and cover physiologic explanations for the phenomena supposedly associated with lactic acid. If you have one that I have not covered please comment at the bottom of the article, and I will integrate it in later.

Food for Thought:

“It doesn't matter where you want the bar to be. The bar gets to decide”
by Coach Rippetoe

.

Food for Fuel:

Paleo LemonLime Curd Nut Bars

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup rich honey, chestnut or wildflower
  • Grated zest of three limes
  • Grated zest of two lemons
  • 1 Tbs Grated fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup of lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 6 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
  • ******************************
  • 1 cup of raw almonds
  • 1 cup of raw pecans
  • 1/4 cup honey (see above) you should use reduced green cider, but thats for another time
  • 1/2 cup of melted virgin coconut oil
  • 2-4 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinamon
  • 1 tsp tahitian vanilla paste
  1. In a medium stainless steel or enamel saucepan, whisk together the first five ingredients until light and creamy
  2. Add the the coconut oil, breaking it into small clumps as you drop it into the pot for even melting. Then add the juices.
  3. Cook, whisking over medium heat until the coconut oil is melted. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens and you start to see a few bubbles popping at the surface.
  4. Remove from heat, and scrape into a fine sieve set over a bowl. Strain the curd, gently stirring if needed.
  5. Refrigerate for several hours to thicken. Will keep about one week in the refrigerator.
  6. 1-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  7. Place the almonds and the pecans in a food processor. Grind them into a medium fine “flour”. You don’t want to turn it into a nut paste, so don’t over do it. There will still be little chunks here and there.
  8. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until combined.
  9. Evenly spread the nut batter into a greased 8 by 8 pan. Place in the middle of the hot oven. It will take between 15 to 18 minutes to cook. It may puff up as it cooks, but don’t worry, it won’t stay that way once you take it out of the oven. When the top is lightly brown, and a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in the middle, it’s done.
  10. Cool completely, then spread one recipe of lemon curd on top. Let set in the refrigerator for at least several hours. The curd will continue to set for a few hours or even overnight. Cut with thin, warm knife into 2×2 pieces. Yum

If you need help? Ask. I’ll help fix it. If you want more? Ask. That’s why I’m here.

Eat like its a sport,
