Amy’s Treat Corner-Mini Lime Cheesecakes

By: 0

Amy’s Treat Corner-Mini Lime Cheesecakes

In this edition of Amy’s Treat Corner Amy shows you how to make some delicious Mini Lime Cheesecakes. Here is the recipe for these delicious treats:

Key Lime / Lime Cheesecakes
CRUST:
1 1/2 C Almonds
10-12 Dates soaked in warm water for
10 mins
FILLING:
2 1/2 C Cashews soaked in cold water overnight
1/2 C coconut milk
1/4 C coconut oil
1/2 C Honey
3 limes or 6 key limes juiced and zested

**prepare the crust in the blender and place a spoon full in a cupcake liner of a muffin tin. Press down firmly to cover bottom and a little of the sides.  Place in freezer while you make the filling.

**for the filling-put all ingredients into blender until the mixture is creamy.  Depending on your blender this could take around 3-4 minutes (the creamier the better)

**pour filling on top of crusts and put back in freezer for at least 30mins

Options- I sprinkled with date sugar in the video

Trying adding lemon juice or bananas
—Experiment, have fun and enjoy :)—

8 Rounds

:30 seconds of 10 yard shuttles
:30 seconds of rest

[Notes:]

Deadlift: Keep a clean back position throughout the lift – even with a hold at the bottom, make sure you pay attention to the tempo

SA Dumbbell Row: Pull High and keep it high for the hold. dumbbell gets pulled to mid torso – and keep a flat back position – like this guy…except with your hair less slicked.

Shuttles: Aiming for consistency – try to hit the same distance/shuttles each round.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Tuesday 5.17.16″ open=”false”]Tuesday 5.17.16

Doubles: Scale a 1:1 for singles
Box Jumps: Use a height that makes sense for you, and step down.

A.

3 Rounds

8 Minute amrap

10 Push Presses
10 No Push Up Burpees
10 Wall Balls
200m Run

Rest 8:00 between rounds

[Notes:]

Push Presses: Use a weight you’ll never fail a set at, I shouldn’t see you having to break it up

NPBP: Use a scaling that you’ll never have to break cadence with

Wall Balls: Use a weight you are accurate with, and that you’ll never have to break the sets up.

Intention: Consistent movement through the workout and scoring on workout per workout. Think of it this way, you should be able to finish the 8 minute amrap, row @ 50% effort for the 8 minutes of rest, then hit the same score again. Looking for respiratory work – NOT muscle failure. Your sets may look like this

10 Push Presses at a smooth pace and breathing rate
3-5 big breaths
10 No Push Up Burpees at a controlled cadence, whether this be one every 3 seconds or every 5-6 seconds.
3-5 big breaths
10 Wall Balls at a smooth pace and breathing rate
3-5 breaths
200m run at a pace that lets you feel prepared to hit the next round at the same pace

3-6 Rounds

45 Yard Max Effort Prowler Push

[Notes:]

BSS: we hit a 12-15 for the split squats prior to this, so you should understand what you hit, and what you could possibly hit for an 8-12

Prowler Push: Use a weight that makes your 45 yard trip last roughly 18-30 seconds WITHOUT STOPPING. Just stage people on opposite sides of the 45 yard mark. Pair up with people your own ability and change plates out as necessary with a quick transition. The 3-6 rounds is on account of whatever time is left in class – or whatever you want to finish out.

rest 10 minutes between rounds ***as soon as the 15 minute round is up, you’ll walk an 800m as part of your rest***

[Notes:]

Energy System Training: I’ve been giving this speech out to most people who have been coming in on the weekends…

60 minute training sessions are a product of marketing toward most peoples available time to train, 60 minutes in and out, get it done – which more often than not – we do.

I want to make sure we properly get in some aerobic system training, not only get it in, but are able to progress it.

So here is what we have been doing on the weekends: You may see something like this above – 2 rounds of 15 minutes of work at a sustainable rate, noting that…

10 minute warm up

15 minute amrap

10 minutes active rest

15 minute amrap

takes 50 minutes

now if I progress this further toward the back end of what we may do here…

15 work

10 rest

4 rounds

that is 90 minutes, – but if you are a beginner, chill out, and get in half of the work (2 rounds) – you’ll still get touches on the aerobic system, don’t feel like you have to stay the entire duration!!!

Again, what I am looking for here is sustainability, cyclical, smooth work.

An Introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances

By: 0

An Introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances-CFSB Wellness Wednesday

In this video we give you an introduction to Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities, and Food Intolerances.

The first and most important thing to recognize is that even though these three sound like the same thing, they are importantly different from one another.

Food Allergies:
-Are immune-mediated IgE reactions that affect 1-2% of the population
-Their effects are usually fairly immediate and severe.
-They usually affect the airways, the skin, and the gastrointestinal tract

Food Sensitivities:
-Are immune-mediated IgG and IgM reactions (there are also other types of food sensitivity reactions) that affect 20-30% of the population, a way higher percentage of the population than food allergies
-In contrast to a food allergy, food sensitivity reactions can occur anywhere from 45 minutes to up to 3 days after ingesting a food.
-In contrast to a food allergy, food sensitivities can affect almost any organ in the body including the brain, the adrenal glands, the thyroid, etc.
-Celiac disease, for example, is not a wheat allergy! It is an extreme form of a food sensitivity that comes in the form of an autoimmune attack on the small intestine as a result of eating wheat.

Food Intolerances:
-Are not immune mediated reactions, but rather they are typically reactions that occur as the result of a digestive inability to break down a particular type of food molecule, typically carbohydrates. Lactose intolerance is the most famous type of food intolerance.

A.

Close Grip Bench Press 7rm @ 32X1

15-20 Minute Cap

B.

3 Rounds

Bulgarian Split Squat – Left Leg 12-15 Reps @ 2001

rest 30 seconds

Bulgarian Split Squat – Right Leg 12-15 Reps @ 2001

rest 2 minutes

Run 400m

rest 2 minutes between rounds

[Notes:]

CGBP:The close grip bench press will be performed per our standard of  having your index finger directly on the line where the knurling meets the smooth section of the bar. 3 down, 2 at the chest, fast as possible up, 1 second at the top.

SPLIT SQUAT: Setting up, you should have the height you are placing your back foot to at just below your kneecap. place the other foot 3 paces away from the object so that when you lunge down, your front shin is vertical, and if mobility allows – your back knee touches the ground – here is a picture 2 seconds down, 0 seconds at the bottom, smooth on the way up, 1 second at the top.

RUN: Pay attention to your run times and try to keep them consistent from round to round. Run the first one at 80-90%

 [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Tuesday 5.10.16″ open=”false”]Tuesday 5.10.16

A.

5 Rounds

Max Unbroken Strict Pull Ups

rest 30 seconds

30-60 second Pillar Hold

rest 90 seconds

B.

Teams of 3 – Perform 3 Rounds EACH

Farmers Carry AHAP 100 Yards (50 yards out, 50 yards back)

:60s Row for Calories @ 80-90% effort

Rest – as long as it takes for your partners to roll through.

[Notes:]

Pull Ups – Leave a little in the tank for each set of pull ups, don’t go to absolute failure. We would prefer everyone performed a vertical pull on this day, so bands are allowed – but under control.

Wod:

Person 1 Farmer Carries, then hops on the rower – using the rower timer to control the 60s

As soon as Person 1 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 2 may start their farmers carry/row round

As soon as Person 2 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 3 may start their farmers carry/row round

Continue in this fashion until everyone has went through 3 times.

If weather permits, farmers walk 50 yards out and 50 yards back outside

If its “yucky” outside, perform 5 x 10 yards out, 10 yards back inside

ROW: I want the row to be consistent each time.

If you hit 20 calories the first time, no more than a deviation of 1 each time.

Reset the rower before you get on it each  time – no building on others calories

FARMERS WALK: Go hard, but not so hard that you’ll have to set them down in the first full round.

5 Minute amrap

5 Wall Balls

10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5)

5 Sit Ups

rest 3:00

5 Minute amrap

10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5)

[Notes:]

Wallball, Doubles, Sit ups:

Throughout this amrap, the sets are low enough where you should never have to break a set – choose an appropriate weight for the wall ball so that you DO NOT HAVE TO BREAK SETS. Choose an appropriate pace that you should be able to take no more than 2-3 big breathes between rounds. When I say 80-90%, and its an aerobic workout, thats 80-90% of the aerobic system. So I want sweat, breathing, but not stopping on account of muscle fatigue.

KBS Shuttle:

Same thing, choose an appropriate weight that ensures you do not break, and a pace you can keep consistently throughout each round.

Consistency:

If you hit 85 reps in the first 5 min and 75 reps (each shuttle counting as 1 rep) in the second
then your 3rd and 4th amrap which are repeated should be 85 and 75, plus or minus maybe 2-3 reps for fumbling.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Thursday 5.12.16″ open=”false”]Thursday 5.12.16

SQUAT: Keep to the tempo

AMRAP:

Stick to a weight and band tension that you can definitely manage getting 15 with from the start of the amrap – keep the reps smooth and controlled

move casually from piece to piece on this one

[Notes:]

Part A:

You can build up to a weight on the OHS -If you are capable but have no idea where to go

Stay at a light weight to work mobility and technique – especially if you are newer

Or start heavy and stay heavy – if you are advanced and want a challenge

No throwing the torso into the Dumbbell Rows, start with a weight that is heavy for 12

Part B:

Pick a weight where you finish right at that 30s mark each time, give or take a few seconds

Also -you’ll notice its a 1:1 work to rest, stick to a weight that you can finish that round, every, single, time.

If you are new and have NEVER performed Olympic Weightlifting for volume – here is your scaling

Every :30s

8 KB Swings

4 No Push Ups Burpees

A.

[2 Blocks of the 4 Rounds ]

4 Rounds

3 minute amrap

Run 200m

in the time remaining with your 3 minutes, perform as many rounds as possible of

3 Pull Ups

6 Push Presses

rest 2 minutes between rounds, rest 10 minutes between blocks

[Notes:]

Recycled from last Saturday’s notes – Did you do the math already? its 46 minutes long. So try to show up on time for class – if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout.

Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort…meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you’ll notice, We’ve been prescribing Rx’d weights less and less – because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX’d on these workouts. for instance I should see…

1: 31 reps, 30 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps
2: 31 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps, 28 reps

Keep the rounds close

 

 

Pull Ups: I want round cycling, so if you cannot cycle 3 pull ups, its jumping pull up day today for you – and I understand the stimulus is different with the amount of knee flexion/extension involved in the jumping pull ups, just try to make it as much of a pull as you can.

Push Presses: Keep them clean and don’t pick a weight you’ll have to break up[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Sunday 5.15.16″ open=”false”]Sunday 5.15.16
