We have been invited by The County Office of Education to Learn from Robert Lustig, MD, about his work regarding nutrition. The presentation is aimed at helping us make better informed decisions about the way we eat and the way we feed our children.

*Plus appearances from US Congressman Sam Farr and CA Assemblyman Bill Monning

 When: March 24th 4:30 -6:30pm

Where: New Brighton Middle School Auditorium, Capitola

Lustig says that food manufacturing practices have created a “toxic environment” that dooms children to being overweight.

“Changes in food processing during the past 30 years, particularly the addition of sugar to a wide variety of foods that once never included sugar and the removal of fiber, both of which promote insulin production, have created an environment in which our foods are essentially addictive.”

Kids or no kids it is a presentation worth seeing.

Of the many benefits of training at a CrossFit facility, the camaraderie of others is possibly the most salient.  Getting fit requires hard work and consistent dedication.  Having others to commiserate over the hard workouts and celebrate over the fun ones makes it easier to stick with it.

Range of Motion Standards

We often talk about proper range of motion or the movement standards. These two things are not always one in the same, however if you stick to the first you will inevitbaly cover the second.  So as the CrossFit games season comes into focus remember, if you have good range you will cover the standard.
