Stick to your New Year’s Resolutions

What to do after the Open?
My favorite time of year has ended. The CrossFit Open has come and gone. With it, a new season has started. We've been given another year to work on our weakness and improve our strengths, work on being healthier and fitter. Let's take everything we learned through...
What’s deal with fiber?
You’ve probably heard that fiber is good for you. It’s common to see advertisement about the fiber content of certain foods. At the store we can spot products that are “good sources of fiber”, but do you know why is important to have a fiber-rich diet? Let’s talk...
CrossFit Open 20.3
Every year during the Open, one workout is repeated from previous years. This is a big part of what CrossFit is about: measuring and assessing fitness. Last friday we repeated a workout from 2018, and even though the workout is the same, the lessons from 20.3 might be...
The most challenging aspects to losing weight
You may be shocked to hear this, but the two most challenging aspects of losing weight and getting healthy have nothing to do with nutrition and working out. You may be thinking, "Wait, aren't those the ONLY two aspects of losing weight?" Yes, eating correctly and...
