WOD Type: “Metcon”

WOD Warm-Up:

30 minute standard WOD warm-up for mobility. I have also added overhead squat / Snatch Preparation Routine… Mobility man stretches.

WOD Particulars:

Complete 7 Rounds for time of:

• 135# Push Jerks @ 7 Reps
• 7 Chest to Bar Pull-Ups
• 7 Burpees

Today’s WOD was completed in 22:40. Great workout. I had to scale down the Push Jerks to 135# in order to do the entire WOD. I also did ring pull ups instead of Chest to bar’s. I think using the rings adds a little more difficulty to the workout… Besides, that the only way I can do Kips until I can get a permanent structure put in.

Overall, another great workout today!

What is a fad diet? Fad diets can be best described as a quick means of weight loss that are often only popular for a brief period of time. Fad diets can range from methodologies as deeply entrenched as Atkins diet or as unsustainable as the cabbage soup diet or the Special K Challenge diet.

Fad diets will often overemphasize a single kind of food or type of food. For example, one diet that strikes me as being absurd is the Special K Challenge that advocates replacing two out of your three meals with any flavor of Special K cereal with 2/3 a cup of skim milk, thus typically resulting in a 5 pound weight loss after two weeks. The diet even advocates snacks consisting of Special K snack bars or fruits and vegetables. Look, you need to choose a diet that is well balanced and good for you: Eat lean meat, veggies, fruit and nuts, little starch and NO sugar! You can’t go wrong and your body will thank you…
