We've received some pretty positive feedback about the programming changes, so we'll stick with it through the Open before we make any other changes and add even more fun stuff tot he mix. We're really happy you guys are having fun and enjoying the switch-up!

On that note, we apologize that a few classes have run 3-4 minutes over lately as we work through these changes and figure out the right timing of things. We always want to be respectful of your time.

Conditioning:
5 Rounds, each for time
200 Singles

Paleo, paleo, paleo...it's the name of the game if you want to see what your body is truly capable of.  We're not talking about losing 5 pounds here or gaining a little muscle there. We're talking about sleeping better, having more energy and clear thinking, performing better in the gym, building those muscles, dropping that body fat...and resetting what your 'normal' feels like (because that bloated all the time, super tired after lunch, groggy at night, maybe I want to work out/maybe I don't feeling ain't it)!

There's a great service in town named "My Paleo Works" that plans, portions, and delivers paleo meals (yes, delivers TO CROSSFIT HERMITAGE). If you're pressed for time, have trouble coming up with next week's meal plan, or dread thinking of something new to try, this is truly a no-brainer. How great would it be to come in each week for your Monday workout and pick up a few days worth of yummy, healthy paleo meals when you leave?!? Note the picture above - it's pretty great! Check out www.MyPaleoWorks.com for menu, details, and contact info to get started.

Strength: Deadlifts

5 Rounds

Registration for the CrossFit Open is...well....open!

"The Open" is for EVERYONE! You can visit games.crossfit.com if you'd like to take a look at the past year's workouts and get an idea of what's in store (though they DO like to surprise us). If you have even one little competitive bone in your body, we encourage you to sign up and use this opportunity to gain an appreciation for your strengths, weaknesses and mental toughness.

You may or may not notice our programming changes throughout the year as we focus a little more on strength, a little more on conditioning, a little more on building that engine, a little more on honing those skills, etc...but you can't help but notice the changes we'll implement over the coming weeks as we head into the Open (YAY!). We just want to take a moment to send big thanks to CJ Martin with CrossFit Invictus for being such a kick-ass coach and programming some great workouts. After following him for a while, understanding his methods, and seeing the results he produces, we totally decided to share the love
with you guys.

Today's workout:
5 sets, each for time:
5 Power Cleans (185/115#)
10 C2B Pull-ups
Rest :60 between sets
THEN
Rest 5:00

We mentioned this on Facebook earlier this week, but want to be sure everyone knows about it and has a chance to sign up...

Molly Metz with JumpNRope is absolutely amazing, and we've been chatting with her company for quite a while to get them to Nashville, so we were THRILLED to receive Molly's email over the weekend that THEY ARE COMING TO TOWN!

Who's interested in attending the Double-Under seminar at CrossFit Hermitage on Sunday, February 9 (approximately 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.)? The cost will be $50 and we need at least 20 people to say yes before we can commit to holding the seminar. If you haven't already let us know, shoot us an email ASAP so we can lock this in and get the registration link out to you guys. SUPER EXCITED!

Everyone has now completed the weigh-outs and these guys and gals ROCKED this challenge! As a group, they lost more than *SIXTY-EIGHT POUNDS* and more than *FIFTY INCHES* in only eight weeks (and that's in the chest, waist, and hips only...if you throw in the navel and thigh measurements, the numbers just get crazy big). That's awesome - please dish out huge kudos this week!

Let's keep the kudos rolling for a number of CFH athletes...Jennifer Perrier placed 1st in her age group in the Trevecca 5K challenge this past weekend; Lisa Stroud got a podium finish at the "Aged to Perfection" competition Saturday by placing 3rd in her age group; and Manda Patrick & Chelsea Rank did great on their runs during the Vegas Ragnar Relay! We can't wait to hear some of those stories...

We've been working with some new ideas for the programming, and we've seen good results so far...so now it's your turn.  There's nothing crazy going on - just a small change to the strength cycle that we think will clear up some questions, help new people acclimate a little faster, and help you self-adjust for those days when you're feeling fantastic and those days when you just don't have that much to give.  The entire point is to have fun and consistently make progress...so grab your journal (seriously, you NEED TO KEEP A JOURNAL) and come in ready to work.

NOTE: if you're doing the Paleo Challenge,
  • You must register TODAY, before midnight.
  • Stand in front of your mirror at home TODAY and take a "before" picture (for your eyes only unless you decide to share it after the challenge).
  • Sign up on the whiteboard to get your measurements taken and log that data into your Lurong account before the deadline.
  • Join our private Facebook group "CFH Lurong Paleo Challenge" so we can use this as a communication tool throughout the challenge.
  • Keep your eyes peeled for the Paleo Challenge workout details as we figure out dates/times so we can have judges available for everyone.

Strength: Press

Conditioning:
4 Rounds
Run 400m
20 Pull-Ups
Rest 1:1
