CrossFit Jackson

CHALLENGE DETAILS:

9 weeks long      January 1  2012- March 3  2012

The winner of this years challenge will be based completely on body fat % lost.

- Eating is Paleo/Zone (see Nutrition Class info below)
- Cost is $10.00 (cash) to be put into a prize pot
- Half of the prize money will go to the 4 week winner and half will go to the 9 week winner. Can you commit and figure it out fast enough to win the 4 weeks? Can you make it a lifestyle change that will help you win the 9 weeks?

The challenge and winner will not be based on the weight of participants. Some people don’t actually loose that much weight but the change to their body is significant. We will weigh everyone for documentation, but it will not be used in determining the winner of the challenges. 

PICTURES :

I encourage you to take before and after pictures (we’ll be happy to do it for you at the gym) for your own benefit although they will not be used in determining the winner of the challenge. If we take the pictures for you, they will be kept on a private computer and only released to you or on the blog with your permission. They will not be shown to other members unless you authorize it. People want to look good naked and pictures don’t lie.  How the participant looks is what matters to them and that is why we encourage you to take before and after pictures.

NUTRITION CLASS INFO

We will be holding 2 nutrition classes in the coming days/weeks.

Zone Diet – Saturday, December 31st, 2:30 PM, at the gym

We’ll go over the 3 macronutrients, what falls into what category, proper proportioning and balance of the nutrients, cheat meals, fast food, and fueling for performance.

Paleo Diet-Saturday, January 14th at 2:30, at the gym

Given 2 weeks to learn/practice/master your quantity approach to nutrient intake, we’ll introduce a quality approach during our Paleo class. We’ll go over how chosing higher quality foods, removing grains, dairy and processed foods from our diets can help cut body fat, manage diseases, and escalate our performance in the gym.

If you haven’t been to one or both of the classes, I strongly encourage you to attend. It will put some myths to rest and help jumpstart your lifestyle change. Class attendance is not required at either class to join the nutrition challenge.

If you enter the nutrition challenge or are a member of CrossFit Jackson, the nutrition classes are free to attend. If you want to come to either or both of the classes and the above statement doesn’t apply to you, the cost is only $10 for entry into one or both of the classes. Bring your family and friends, this could be a life changer for some people!

“When did eating become so restrictive and depressing? The word diet has gone from the noun representing what we put in our bodies for sustenance to the horrible verb representing restriction and what people can’t do.” Read more from Alamo CrossFit.
