Food for Thought The Ancestral Diet is a logical framework applied to modern humans — not a historical reenactment. ~Andrew Badenoch Chew on this. How many times do you or have you thought: Is this Paleo? I know – “Paleo is so “passé”. Is it? Or did we just need something new to call it...
Poop is very important! Regularity is a good thing. And guess what one of the most common culprits of irregular poops is? YOUR DIET! Second most common culprit? BEING SEDENTARY. Sorry – just facts. Sure, medications play a part – but if you eat right and move more, you may be able to get off...
This is always a touchy subject. And it IS very individual, but in almost every industry we have templates, or wireframes, or guidelines from which we create more personalized plans or programs. Think about physical therapy (because that’s Ed’s industry) – when he would see an ACL reconstruction, he had protocols he followed that advanced...
We’re moving this up the ladder of priorities because we’ve had a lot of questions. For the average Joe, this topic has just a small place in their life, if any. But you are not the average Joe. You are over the age of 55 (if you’re a member of our gym), and one of...
This post is a re-post from a past challenge on the same topic, and ED WROTE IT! We called him “Mouth” at Rebels, but he earned the nickname from our first CrossFit gym in St. Pete where the owners quickly learned Ed had a gift of gab and didn’t like a quiet gym! So when we...
Let’s chat about macronutrients, or “macros” for short. Macronutrients are protein, carbohydrates and fat. A quick Google search brings up this very basic definition…and this is something that we all should have gotten in high school health class…if they even still require “health” class. mac·ro·nu·tri·ent makrōˈn(y)o͞otrēənt/ noun BIOLOGY plural noun: macronutrients a substance required in relatively...
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. ~Ben Franklin PLANNING…it’s unfortunate that our lives have become so busy that “having a schedule” has such a negative connotation to some. It’s a part of my personality and who I am, and I’m criticized by many people very close to me that it’s...
No, not physical activity lazy, although THAT’S a whole other topic. I mean mentally lazy regarding our food. I so often hear things that just make my ears hurt. “But it says it’s a protein bar” “It’s heart healthy” (what does THAT even mean?) “LOW FAT” (but what kind of fat? and how low? and...
Ed’s Birthday and a special opportunity for a picture Hello world! We’re getting ready to re-enter the real world… Other than all things “hair”, life is returning to normal. We are done with treatment – no more appointments! We can get back to work, life, and some normalcy. Since I posted last, Ed and I...
I’ve never had short hair. Nor was this planned. And it’s completely out of control! Shooting for a little Meg Ryan, and ended up with the mop head from the gym! (JK – I can make it crazy!) Most of our friends are caught up on what I’m about to put out here…but it was...
