What is a ‘R.A.W Pump’?

R.A.W Pump also known as functional pumps are intended to give you a great “pump” for the day. They are a mix of bodybuilding type movements, some CrossFit style structure or movements, and aerobic work. The intensity is designed to just be MODERATE! It is so you can come and do a workout to get a “pump”, sweat some and get out of breath. Ideally you can hit these with friends as well!

You can come and do them on a day when you aren't feeling like doing as much intensity with our TWR sessions.

Have fun with them!

What's CrossFit diet recommendation?

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

These two sentences capture a nutritional approach that, when applied with our workouts, yields incredible health and fitness. By combining the potent training stimulus of constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity with a sound diet of whole, unprocessed foods eaten in the proper amounts, the results are nothing short of life changing.

To truly optimize health and fitness, you have to pay attention to what you eat and how much you eat. That starts with choosing high-quality, unprocessed foods and weighing, measuring, and recording your intake. We suggest doing that for at least 30 days. At the end of the first 30 days, you should assess your results — i.e., How are your health markers such as body composition, resting heart rate, and blood pressure (among others)? How are your workout scores trending? How do you feel? If needed, you can then adjust what and how much you are eating for best results.

This type of measured, systematic self-observation driven by real results will be the best guide as to whether you should change any of your eating habits or implement any new diet strategies.

Overall, diet needs to be customized to each individual based on their physiological response, goals, and other lifestyle factors. The best way to optimize your diet for your specific needs is by carefully tracking inputs (the food you eat) and outputs (workout results and health markers).

Are We Really Hungry?

Eat your food as medicine, or you will be eating medicine as food. – Hippocrates

I think most of the time after sunset and before sunrise we're not hungry. But even if we do we can easily wait for the next day to eat. Their are many benefits of not eating after sunset and before sunrise.

Now, what to eat during the day:- Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

And what to do during the day:- Pursuit To Happy Life 😃
