It’s time for our annual Stop the Slop Challenge! It starts TODAY! If you need to weigh-in then please make it up tomorrow with your coach before you workout.

What is Stop the Slop?

It’s our 30 Day Gym-wide Challenge to clean up your eating and increase your fitness level. There are 2 sides to the challenge. You can do one (recommended), both (highly recommended), or neither (not recommended). It is a community building event designed to help all of us be more accountable to start the new year off right. It helps drive you into the gym, eat better, make goals and see results. By doing this as a gym, you will get help, encouragement, support, new food recipes or ideas, and just have FUN while doing it!

Nutrition Challenge:
You can complete/attempt a Whole30 (recommended if you haven’t done one; see us for the Whole9 Nutrition Guide/Whole30 Booklet), or eat nutritious and more paleo food choices, and/or complete a cleanse, or cut out whatever bad food vices/demons that you have been thinking about trying to beat.
Performance Challenge:
This challenge is a baseline type measurement WOD that will be programmed on Tuesday, 1/6 for all classes (make-ups on Wed). You will test yourself and record your time and whatever your scale was (RX/scale). After 30 days we will re-test the same WOD using the same scale to measure % time improvement. Ideally your nutrition choices have been strict and healthier for the past 30 days which will help you realize improvement as well in your fitness/performance.
Who should participate and is there a cost?
EVERYONE should do it. The cost is $25 per challenge for anyone who wishes to try and win either challenge for most % improvement. For the Nutrition Challenge we will measure % bodyweight lost. Weigh-in is on Monday 1/5 (make-up Tuesday 1/6). After 30 days we will have a final weigh-in and crown the winner with the highest % lost. For the Performance challenge it is the most % time improvement on the Stop the Slop WOD. We will pool all entry money into the pot and share the winnings with cool prizes for each winner.
Key Dates/Milestones:

30 Day Stop The Slop… starts MONDAY, January 5th!
Buy in Cost = $25 per Challenge (Nutrition $25. Performance $25. = $50 for both)
Nutrition Challenge Weigh-in = Monday, January 5th (make-up Tues.)
Performance Challenge WOD = Tuesday, January 6th (make-up Wed.)
Final Nutrition Challenge Weigh-in and Performance Retest = Tentatively Tuesday, February 3rd (weather permitting)
(Yes, we know the Superbowl is on Sunday, February 1st! Slop it up at your own risk.)

Remember: There will be one winner for EACH of the Challenges!
This year, will it be you?

12 WOD's of Christmas at SRCF!

12 WOD’s of Christmas at SRCF!

12 Descending Rounds For Time:
1 Sumo Deadlift High Pull (75#/55#)
2 Thrusters (75#/55#)
3 Push Press (75#/55#)
4 Power Cleans (75#/55#)
5 Deadlifts (75#/55#)
6 Kettlebell Swings (53#/35#)
7 Pull-ups
8 Knees-to-Elbows
9 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
10 Double Unders
11 Overhead Walking Lunge Steps (45#/25# Plate)
12 Burpees
* Like the song the “12 Days of Christmas”, complete each exercise in ascending order then work back down, adding one exercise per round.
Ex. On the 1st day of Christmas, my coaches gave to me, one Sumo Deadlift High Pull; on the 2nd day of Christmas my coaches gave to me, 2 Thrusters and 1 SDHP; on the 3rd day of Christmas, my coaches gave to me, 3 Push Press, 2 Thrusters, and 1 SDHP; etc. up to 12.
BTWB

Today was our traditional annual “12 WOD’s of Christmas” workout and almost everyone figured it out and fell into the rhythm of it. The first five exercises are a light “barbell complex” where the sequence of movements progress together. It allows you to “link” them so that after you complete the Deadlifts you transition to the Power Cleans then Push Presses, Thrusters, and Sumo Deadlift High-Pull without putting the barbell down. I love this combination of exercises for a “12 Days WOD” because it keeps both the reps of each movement and load low, and the workout is about moving fast and and not getting “stuck” at any one exercise.

We also had the Outside the Box paleo food truck here and our Ugly Sweater Holiday Potluck party. With a turnout of over 60 people (50 doing the WOD) there was a ton of great food, terrible sweaters and good times. Thank you to everyone for patiently dealing with waiting until your wave for the workout could go, and for those who brought food to share. We will hope to have the Outside the Box food truck back out for our next event, maybe at the end of the Open.

A member of our community and family in the gym needs some help. Amy N. has an 8 year old nephew who just this week was diagnosed with leukemia and has begun chemotherapy. Amy started a gofundme.com site to help her brother’s family offset the financial burden that is surely another stress on an already stressful situation (their house recently flooded as well).
We want to help. Today we programmed the WOD “Hope for Cures” (it’s the WOD that CrossFit created to benefit finding cures for cancer/terminal illness in kids). We are asking that anyone who wants to donate to help young Ethan’s family to please donate online at the below link or if you have cash then bring it to the gym tomorrow. We will be sure to get it to Amy. Let’s help out one of our own. Thank you to everyone who has donated already! 3-2-1 Go Ethan! You can beat this!
