InBody® Body Fat Analysis now available at CFSB!

By: 0

CrossFit South Bend is now officially home to one of the most advanced body-fat scanning devices on the market outside of a medical or research setting. The device is called the Inbody 270 Body Fat Scanner.

Why is this a big deal?

  • Put as simply as possible, weight loss is not the same as fat loss. There’s a very big difference between the two. Most people when they say they want to lose weight mean that they want to lose body fat.
  • Most store bought body-fat scanners whether they are handheld or scales are wildly inaccurate. The InBody 270 is highly accurate.
  • Someone can lose inches and look a lot better even though they’re the same weight, and that’s because of the muscle to fat ratio. The InBody will be able to reveal this whereas a normal scale cannot.

What will the Inbody tell me? 

  • It will tell you your weight (obviously), but in addition to that it will tell you:
    • Lean Muscle Mass
    • Body Fat Percentage
    • Total Body Water Content (Hydration/Dehydration status)
    • BMI
    • Basal Metabolic Rate (the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight)
    • Muscle mass and body fat in different body segments
    • It will also track your progress over time and show you how things have changed over months and years.

How much does it normally cost for a scan? 

  • CFSB Members
    • $70 a scan for one scan
    • $50 a scan for two or more scans
  • General Public (non-CFSB Member)
    • $100 a scan for one scan
    • $70 a scan for two or more scans

Is CFSB giving any discounts for the first scan?

Yes. Everyone’s first scan will be 50% off.

  • CFSB Member
    • $35 for first scan (50% off)
  • General Public (non-CFSB Member)
    • $50 for first scan (50% off)

How do I take advantage of the 50% off first scan price?

  • CFSB Member: If you’re a CFSB member all you need to do is book a date and time for a free 30min Current Member Goal session through our Acuity scheduling software. As you’re booking your meeting you’ll see that a 50% InBody first scan add-on is available to add on to the meeting. Just select that and enter your credit card info, and then we’ll do the scan during the Current Member Goal meeting. Here’s the link to book the Current Member Goal meeting:
  • General Public (non-CFSB Member): If you’re not a CFSB member all you need to do is book a date and time for a free 30min No Sweat Intro session through our Acuity scheduling software. As you’re booking your meeting you’ll see that a 50% InBody first scan add-on is available to add on to the meeting. Just select that and enter your credit card info, and then we’ll do scan during the No Sweat Intro meeting. Here’s the link to book the No Sweat Intro meeting:

FAQ

  • How do I get my scans done?
    • The way we’ll be starting with everyone is that in order to take advantage of your first scan at 50% off, you need to schedule a current member goal meeting (current CFSB member) or a no sweat intro (for non-CFSB members). That way we can provide you with an interpretation of your test results and we can talk about your goals with you.
  • How do I schedule or purchase future scans?
    • After your first scan you can schedule a follow-up InBody scan with a special link that you’ll get after your first scan allowing you to purchase more InBody scans and schedule them.
  • Will I get a print out of my information?
    • Yes, you’ll get a very detailed printed copy of your results that you can take with you.
  • How long does the Inbody scan itself take?
    • No more than 3-5 minutes
  • Do I need to wear anything special?
    • Basically you’ll undress to the level of your comfort. For some people that’s gym clothes like shorts and a T-Shirt, which is fine for others that could be a sports bra and shorts for women or just boxers for guys. It’s really up to you and your comfort level. You’ll remove anything metallic as this can interfere with the electrical impulses used to measure body fat such as a watch or a chain.
  • Do I need to undress like Brandon does in the video and have Chad oil me up with coconut oil?
    • No, but it’s pretty hilarious that this video led to that question.
  • How does the Inbody track my progress?
    • The first time you use the machine you’ll create an account number (your cell number is usually an easy one to remember). Then every time you get another scan you enter that account number and it will automatically reference your previous results and plot them on the print out.

Jean Jammin’ and Better Poops: The Angie and Amy Story Part 2

By: 0

These two goofballs are back in Part Two of the Jean Jammin and Better Poops saga. The hilarity of these two couldn’t be contained in one episode so we had to split it into two.

In this video we talk about
-how doing a nutrition challenge with someone else can be a huge help
-learning about which foods you react to
-how “ghee” is the most pretentious name for a food 🙂
-how you don’t really miss foods that you thought you would after eliminating for a period of time.

Stay tuned for a Episode 3: Return of the Jedi with these two in a few months to see how their lives have changed in the intervening months.

An Introduction

Hello all you time-constrained, health conscious readers. My name is Maura Scudder and I (along with some help from my more business-savvy fiancé, Ryan) recently started a meal prep business, Meals By Maura and we just partnered with Crossfit South Bend to offer our meals to members, so I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself and our business.

In this initial post, I will let you in on some secrets about why I started Meals By Maura; talk about how ordering works; and give you a general overview of what Meals By Maura is all about.

Let’s Start With: What’s Meals By Maura all about?

Meals By Maura, or MBM as we sometimes refer to it, aims to take the time, energy, and general hassle out of the dreaded weekly meal prep routine. Let’s face it: we all strive to eat healthy, good for us foods, but sometimes we just don’t have the time to go to grocery store to buy the food, then to prep and cut the food, to cook the food, and then to package all this healthy food. Well, that’s where MBM comes in. We can take care of all these steps for you and then deliver these pre-prepped, pre-packaged healthy meals to Crossfit South Bend so that all you have to do is pick them up, take them home, and ENJOY!

Meals By Maura only uses fresh ingredients and cooks primarily meats and vegetables. We provide options for those trying to eat gluten free, paleo, and Whole 30 as well as options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even (my favorite) snacks. MBM meals never have any preservatives, dyes, added sugars, or processed foods. MBM meals come in microwaveable and dishwasher-safe containers that fit easily into lunch boxes or stack in refrigerators.
Meals last in the fridge for up to 10 days and can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. To enjoy your MBM meal, just take the lid off, pop it in the microwave (3-5 minutes is the recommended cooking time), take it out and you are ready to eat. Meals By Maura offers a set menu for each week including “Basic Bro” and Gourmet meals as well as a rotating Meal of the Week.

Next Up: How it All Got Started

I have always been a fairly active and athletic person. I played sports as a kid and through high school, but when college came around and sports stopped, I had to find other forms of exercise. I tried the treadmills and the ab circuits and zumba, but none of that was really for me. A friend of mine suggested I try Crossfit and I immediately fell in love with this sport. I stared at a gym in Indianapolis and attended classes 3-4 days a week. While I loved working out, my motto always was that I worked out “so I could eat whatever I wanted”—sound familiar?! Well, what I learned was as I got older, my metabolism slowed down (dang it L) and that theory didn’t exactly hold true anymore. I continued to be unhappy with my results both with my body and with my abilities in the gym. Coaches started preaching: “You can’t out train a bad diet” and I started trying to make healthier choices, but sometimes this is REALLY HARD! At this point, I was working four ten-hour days a week with an hour commute each way and trying to squeeze in workouts late at night. I definitely didn’t have time to come home and cook healthy food after this, so I started prepping meals. I would spend Sundays going to the grocery store, prepping food, and cooking it for my breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the whole week. While this worked most of the time, it was A LOT of work and if I was traveling or didn’t have time on a Sunday to prep meals, then I was shit out of luck for the entire week and my diet went down the drain (cue late night Taco Bell). I was always hoping and looking for a quick, healthy, and ready to eat option, but wasn’t finding any options. As I talk with co-workers, friends, and family, I have heard similar stories and similar complaints about a healthy diet being what they strive for, but not having the time to prepare meals themselves and not having good, healthy, affordable options for purchase. This, my friends, is where the idea for Meals By Maura came into play. I really wanted (and still want of course) to provide people with an option for healthy meals on the go. In this day and age, we are all busy all of the time and while this is often a great thing, it makes eating right hard, so why not take an opportunity to make it easier—for everyone?!

Finally, How Can you Order?!

I am so excited about this new business venture and to be sharing my love for fitness, health, and healthy food fit for a fast-paced lifestyle with you.

Is Intermittent Fasting Healthy?

By: 0

In this video we discuss whether the recent hot trend of Intermittment fasting is healthy. Put simply the answer is generally yes, but as always it depends on the context.

First of all, fasting is something humans have been doing for the vast majority of their history. Our current situation where we have constant food availability and abundance is a historical anomaly.

Second, there are all different types of intermittent fasting. Everything from only eating during a 8hr window during the day all the way to a 7-10 fast. Which one is appropriate for you depends on a lot of different factors.

Third, whether you should fast or not depends a lot on who you are and what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re someone who is chronically stressed, under-slept, over-excercising, and/or with poor nutrition then intermittent fasting probably isn’t for you. On the other hand if all your other health and lifestyle ducks are in a row intermittent fasting might be beneficial.

As always make sure to talk with a qualified healthcare professional before jumping into fasting.
