Start November on the right foot. Here’s a nutrition challenge. You get to win a few pounds less on the scale, look leaner, more confidence, fitter and perform better in the workouts. Performing better in the workouts equals results. All this by doing 2 things daily:
Before every meals or snacks, drink 250ml of water (1 cup). This will fill your belly with good stuff and will help with digestion.
Limit your intake by keeping each meal small (or smaller than usual). We tend to over eat and portion control is a huge problem. Use your hand as a guideline. Palm is your proteins, fingers are your vegetables (don’t be afraid to expand your fingers, more vegetables is good) and your thumb is your fats (oil, nuts, seeds). These are guidelines but if you follow it you will get results. Obviously, if you fill your plate with a burger and fries everyday, even if you keep your portions small, it won’t work. Get food that is as natural as possible. A cheat meal once in a while is not the end of the world, moderation is key. Remember that lifestyle habits is where it’s at, doing a diet won’t work. It as to be incorporated in your life, everyday. This is what you do everyday that defines you!!
There are a couple issues with nutrition these days. Sugar is in everything, bad food is everywhere, good food is more expensive than bad food and couple that with a sedentary lifestyle, you have an explosive mix. This is not a challenge with a prize at the end, we don’t believe in those challenges where people sign up to win money or other incentives. You are doing this for you, to live better and live a healthier lifestyle.

Hello Pyromanians, this week, we invite you to check out www.crossfit.com (AKA the main site). This is by far, the best source for fitness and CrossFit hands down. Mix that with the CrossFit journal and you have all the tools to be successful. Greg Glassman and CrossFit HQ have been posting workouts daily since 2001. Plain simple, this is what CrossFit is. Make sure to explore the tabs like “get started” and “exercise and demos”. It’s really worth your time, especially if you’re just starting.
This week, all our workouts are from the main site. Over the years, it’s been observed that following a cycle of 3 days of training with a day of rest has been the best way for producing positive results. At Pyro, we’re offering classes everyday with multiple programs so we’re not following that cycle. Our programming still supports daily workouts. Take note that this week won’t be that much different that any other week at Pyro, we’re a true and true CrossFit box and we program the same way the main site does. Expect strength training, classic METCONs, a mix of both strength and METCONs, chippers, couplets, triplets and everything else in between.

Weightlifting clinic Saturday November 4th at 10am until 1130 followed by a sweet weightlifting workout. The goal is to review everything snatch and clean and jerk. This is for everyone and the goal so to fix issues or get better. We can all benefit from this and it’s the perfect timing to review the basics leading to the Rogue Liftoff December 2nd and 3rd. We’ll also bring our camera to do video analysis.
Open prep session Saturday November 11th at 11am until 1200pm. We’ll discuss everything Open, what to expect, expected movements from the pattern of the previous years, previous workouts, your personal goals, what do you need work at to do well or do better for the 2018 season. We’ll bring awesome data from the games, regionals and the open in general. We’ll tackle an open workout right after. No time frame for the session, you make it as long as you want it.
Look for both of those sessions on the RhinoFit calendar
