Coach Whit and Nutrition Coach Buffy discuss Holiday Pitfalls and how to avoid them.

During a CrossFit class, the coach will go over the standards for the movements in the workout along with a warmup. This ensures the athletes know what’s expected of them. However, some members will choose to ignore the standards so they can get through the movements as quickly as possible. However, there are several different reasons why standards are important as discussed by Coach Whit and Nutrition Coach/CrossFit Coach Buffy.

People are making the same nutrition mistakes over and over again, year after year.

But, it's not your fault.

Including health and fitness into our day can be a struggle for many of us. Work or other commitments may take up a large portion of our time, and at the end of the day, it’s hard to find the energy or motivation. Coach Whit and Nutrition Coach Buffy offer some simple ways to ensure health and fitness remains a daily priority.

If a little exercise is good for you, more must be better, right? Yes, but only up to a point. Overtraining occurs when an athlete performs more training than his or her body can recover from, to the point where performance declines.

Whit and Buffy discuss what exactly overtraining is, how this happens, how to recognize that is happening to you, and tips to keep it from happening in the future.

We take a look back at 2020 and a look ahead to 2021.

Special guest, Dr. Brian Strump, discusses his most recent blog post about where to invest in 2021.

The answer? It’s your health. Your physical, emotional and mental health.

If we learned anything in 2020, it was the importance of investing in our health. Too many people put themselves and their health last on the priority list.

We discuss how to make the change and the benefits that come along with investing in your health.

Scaling allows any athlete to complete the same workout, regardless of ability, simply by altering the weights and movements in order to produce the same level of intensity. Every beginner in CrossFit hears the word scale. Scaling basically means that you change the intensity of the workout to your fitness level.

We talk a lot about scaling and modifying the workouts to meet your individual needs and abilities, but what does that actually look like?!

We discuss who should do it, why you should do it and how to go about it.
