For us taking a break or breaking from the routine is as much a mental break as it is a physical one.Taking intentional breaks is about being deliberate in how you break from routine. It isn't doing something new for the sake of the novelty of it.

We get into the science of reps, rests and percentages of 1 rep max in relation to load.Fiona found a $9.00 bottle of Italian red that is fantastic and Greg is enjoying a refreshing craft beer.

    We're hanging out at the Grand River CrossFit worldwide headquarters, also known as our kitchen.This is a great place for the latest episode. Greg's enjoying a light lager while Fiona and I are splurging on a $35 bottle of California red. We highly recommend Decoy!Today we're talking about the difference between hunger and appetite.  Hunger is a physical need to eat, while appetite is all mental.
