    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 25, 2021 25:57


    "Rep cutting" has forever been a controversial topic inside of CrossFit gyms since CrossFit's inception. It's almost unavoidable when you take a data driven, competitive training modality like CrossFit, and couple it with peoples' inherit need/want to push themselves to be better. But shorting range of motion or fibbing on scores does just the opposite, it takes away from our fitness, and it is only hurting YOU. There have been many articles/topics of discussion on rep cutting in the CrossFit community for years now, some more damning than others. We wanted to broach this subject today not from a place of finger pointing or blame, but from a place of understanding, with the hopes that all of us can come out of this conversation with a renewal in our dedication to our training. Not only from a place of becoming better physically, but in the hopes that we can approach our next training session with humility and integrity. We hope you enjoyed the conversation and welcome any input on the topic from our community. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/primal-athletics-radio/support

    Consistency is the key when following any sort of fitness and nutrition routine. The more time you spend training important elements of exercise like strength, flexibility, and skill, the more likely you are to achieve your goals. Life, however, comes at you unexpectedly sometimes and can hit pretty hard. That beating can come in the form of an injury, financial struggles, career changes, family matters, and a laundry list of other reasons that end up placing fitness at the bottom of your to-do list. We understand. When you're getting hit every which way a reset may be necessary for you manage whatever is stressing you and find a balance. What makes coming back to training more difficult is how much time you allow to go by before you start thinking about it again. For some, a few weeks can go by and eventually they find their way back in. For others, many months will pass followed by more weeks of contemplating and before you know it half a year has flown by and the thought of coming back remains just a thought. Here are some tips to help get you back in the gym-sooner than later- and how to use this reset as a positive in your life! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about 1-on-1 nutrition coaching- https://www.crossfitsouhegan.com/nutrition-coaching --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/primal-athletics-radio/support

    This episode begins our series on body image. The National Eating Disorders Association defines body image as “how you see yourself when you look in the mirror,” or more broadly your belief about your appearance, how you feel about your body weight, shape or size, and how a person feels inside their own body. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be embarking on a journey to find varying perspectives and stories on people's body image, their struggles, successes, and motivations. Today, we begin by speaking to Brendon Jalbert. Brendon brings us a unique perspective as someone who went from underweight to overweight, seemingly overnight, and the struggles both physically and mentally that brought. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/primal-athletics-radio/support

    #36- Defining Fitness

    Play Episode Listen Later May 28, 2021 22:37


    What is fitness and who is fit? Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines “fitness” and being “fit” as the ability to transmit genes and being healthy. No help there. Searching the Internet for a workable, reasonable definition of fitness yields disappointingly little. Worse yet, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), the most respected publisher in exercise physiology, in its highly authoritative "Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning," does not even attempt a definition. For CrossFit, the specter of championing a fitness program without clearly defining what it is that the program delivers combines elements of fraud and farce. The vacuum of guiding authority has therefore necessitated that CrossFit provide its own definition of fitness. That is what this episode is about: our “fitness.” Listen on for how CrossFit defines and outlines fitness.
