[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="COMING IN THIS WEEK?! NEW?!?! READ THIS!!!"]COMING IN THIS WEEK?! NEW?!?! READ  THIS!!! Hey everyone, So around this time of the year we have a lot of students coming back, well, not only students, really just about all kinds coming back to South Bend and wanting to try CrossFit at CrossFit South Bend. We typically don't let the general population just drop in on our CrossFit classes, "why?" you ask. Because our classes involve a lot of technical movements that most of the general population are not familiar with. So to get over that barrier and let everyone give it a go, we pull the technical limit on our movements back for an entire week- and that week just happens to be a deload week in our programming after a testing week, how convenient, it's almost like we planned it. So the way this works is, come in, everyone, if you have friends, bring them, if you have family, bring them, students, yep. All week. To any of our CrossFit classes. You can click here to check out our schedule of CrossFit Classes. A few things though. *Try to get here on time, maybe even a little early. Especially if you have to fill out a waiver. I know you get busy, but it messes with the flow of the class and our warm ups when people roll up 15 minutes late to a class. *Most of the workouts will be team oriented, and once again, much more simplified than you'd typically see in class. Whereas we usually do a lot of weightlifting, that will definitely be pulled back this week. After the week from August 31st - September 6th, you have a few options If you are not very experienced with CrossFit. A. Continue on with our September Fundamentals, it will be in progress and you can jump right in on the 8th, 10th, and 12th for the next week, click here for all of those details. B. Not experienced but the Fundamentals schedule won't work for you? click here to check out our Accelerated Fundamentals If you are an experienced CrossFitter and you feel as though you can jump right into classes, click here to test out and you'll be good to go after a 20 minute test out. Just click "start doing crossfit today" any questions? perfect!

Cool Down Olympic Wall Squat Stretch w/ External Rotation 90 sec each leg Childs Pose Straight Arm 60 sec Childs Pose Moose Antler 60 sec Notes: Pretty simple workout today, only one person works at a time. Lunges will more than likely be in place, we prefer a vertical front shin, the wall ball push presses are exactly what they sound like (for those of you who know what they are) Weight for lunges and Wall Ball Push Press is a choose your own adventure, these are pretty fast cycle movements, so don't be afraid to get a little heavy on this one.
[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 9.01.15"]Tuesday 9.01.15 Teams of 3 or more For Time 600/500m Row 50 Russian Kettlebell Swings 35 Ball Slams 20 No Push Up Burpees Notes: This workout is a conga line format. Once person enters in at the top and works their way down past the workout. As soon as person one has finished their movement, person two can step in behind. person 2 cannot move past or do the same movement as person one either, this format continues until the last person has ran through. Again, choose  a weight that feels challenging for you.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Wednesday 9.02.15"]Wednesday 9.02.15 Teams of 2 5 Min Plank (top of a push up) Max Step Ups 24"/20" 5 min Hang from pull up bar Max Push Ups 5 Min Goblet Squat hold Max Plate Ground to Overhead Notes: You can only perform the work while your partner is actively in the holding position. Meaning you can only perform step ups while your partner is up in the plank, you can only perform push ups while your partner is hanging from the bar, and you can only perform plate GTO while your partner is in the squat.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Thursday 9.03.15"]Thursday 9.03.15 12 Min AMRAP, teams of 2   Partner A: 400m run Partner B: Amrap of... 15 Air Squats 12 Push Press 95/75 9 Ring Rows Note: partner A will go on the 400m run while partner B gets as far as they can with the amrap, when Partner A gets back in they will pick up where B left off.Does that make sense? If not, you'll figure it out in class!

Amy R: The longest 30 days

By: 0

I started the Whole30 program in May 2015.  I had several reasons for wanting to give the Whole30 program a try.   I was diagnosed in 2013, with hypothyroidism.  I  was feeling tired, had gained weight and lacking energy.   I was looking for answers to whether it was my thyroid or my diet.    I decided to tell everyone I knew that I was doing this program, so I would be held accountable.   I was surprised how many of my friends wanted to try Whole30 after I had completed it. Robby was very supportive during the process.  He could tell when I was struggling and encourage me to continue. He would ask that I send him a weekly food journal and would respond back quickly with suggestions and ideas.  I couldn't have done it without him. I won't lie...it was difficult at times, and it felt at times like the longest 30 days of my life!! :)   Looking back, it was so worth it! I got so many answers after completing Whole30 and slowly introducing foods back into my diet. My body did not like my old foods and it was the first time I really listened to what my body was telling me.  My weight gain and lack of energy were not due to my thyroid....it was the food I was eating!    I have drastically cut down on my sugar and gluten.   I do reward myself at times with desserts, but I now eat Whole30 most of the time.   After more than 3 years, I am down to my goal weight and maintaining.   My energy level has never been higher! I am so glad that I decided to do Whole30 and can't thank Robby enough for all his support!!
