I’ve come across a tasty little “green” drink that not only taste great but does wonders for your body. It’s real simple to make too! I would definitely recommend using a high quality blender (Vitamix) for this one! Here ya go… Ingredients: 4-6 oz of water 1 cup crushed ice 2 apples (de-cored) 1 medium cucumber 2 handfuls spinach 2 sticks of celery 1/2 cup chopped parsley (opt) 1 lemon (the

We will be taking pre-orders for anyone looking to purchase a protein supplement for the challenge. All orders placed by Tuesday will receive 15% off. If you are in the challenge, you probably already know it is no easy feat drinking half your body weight in ounces daily (especially if you’re over 200#). But that is just half the battle. Remembering exactly how much you drink throughout the day can

It’s NOT to late to hop on board with the rest of us! If you’ve been putting off signing up for the Challenge that everyone will be talking about for the next two months, wait no more. This is your last chance to be part of something that will change you forever! We are shooting for next weekend or the following to have a little WLC Paleo potluck where everyone

This is the last day before the Whole Life Challenge Spring Throw-down 2013 kicks off! So what does this mean…Indulge…Spoil yourself with all those things you will go without … hopefully forever. Have a cheese pizza, enjoy a few extra cocktails, finish off those Valentine chocolates….Satisfy those cravings one last time and get it out of your system and off your mind! I am looking forward to the challenge (meaning

Gluten and Casein – to keep around or eliminate for good? I am only going to harp on this subject momentarily because it is worth the mention before we start our challenge. Gluten and casein are both naturally occurring proteins found in wheat and dairy products respectively. They are also both two of the top allergens out there. Like someone who is allergic to nuts or soy, both gluten

I have to say I am impressed at the overwhelming response to our athlete spotlight questionnaire we sent out the other week. Our intention was to get the community to share some of their insight regarding CrossFit with new members or any onlookers to this site in an attempt to help them gain a better understanding of what we do and why. Today’s spotlight athlete is Charles (Chuck) J. First

A few things to mention today. First, if you’re still without power, and have not had a hot shower in days, come join us for a WOD and take a nice long hot shower afterwards. I have an updated list of all the participants of the Whole Life Challenge. I also have a list of several people who have signed up but have not paid. I will be sending those

Looking for a place to come get warm??? Well the power has been restored! CFM will be open for regular class hours on Monday. I have to say, I haven’t seen storm with such severity in quite sometime. I consider us lucky to be open with so many people out of power in the surrounding communities. If your still without power (and have access to the web to read

After listening to the weather man assure us that we are ‘getting walloped’ by this storm heading our way, I will be reassessing our class schedule for Friday night/Saturday morning over the next day or so regarding class cancelations/changes. I am not going to make a decision until Thursday night, which should be ample time to give our weather guys and gals a chance to determine this things track with

If you’re willing to share yourself with the rest of us, click this link CFM Athlete Spotlight Questionnaire. It will take you to the questionnaire. We’ll do our best at getting it up

I am not going to lie, mobilizing has to be one of my least favorite things to do on my quest towards elite fitness. I mean, wouldn’t it be great if we were all blessed with an adequate range of motion so that all the exercises we did were restriction free? Things would just be that much easier. But its not, and will never be that way, so forget I

I read a rather inspiring action-adventure tale today in Outside Magazine that made me take a moment. This fella Eruc circumnavigated the earth (his route was a total of 37,472 miles) by means of bike and rowboat, powered solely by his own muscle, heart, and will. This guy decided that along the way passing through 6 continents that he would bag the largest peaks on each, including soloing Everest with

I got bored this afternoon and decided to make, as Greg Glassman once put it, “one of the coolest pieces of exercise equipment ever developed”. We call this coolness the parallette. In CrossFit, we cover three main domains of fitness – Gymnastics, Weight lifting, and Metabolic conditioning. Gymnastics are not only fun to perform, give you great body awareness, they also provide something so much more important – neurological training

If you are new to CrossFit, a seasoned vet, or somewhere in between, you probably still have some basic questions about it. Who it is best suited for? How often should I be doing it? What should I eat? What about aerobics? What is the best way to start? etc… I hope all of these questions have been answered for you by a coach when asked, but if you have

So far during your journey here at CrossFit Magnitude, you have been exposed to a lot of squatting. We have performed front squats, overhead squats and back squats (high bar version). For those of you who don’t know, there is another version of squatting we like to call the “low bar” back squat. With out me going into a 30 minute rant about the mechanics, utility, and which will serve

I spent my afternoon session today taking on the snatch. I took many falls, nearly crushing myself with a loaded bar. I ran over my @#%& (insert private part) which felt similar to doing a belly flop onto a frozen lake from 4 stories high. I spent 1o minutes arguing with myself that there had to be a better way, but realized the cold hard truth that, in all actuality, there

Keeping your body in a slight alkaline state has been proven to keep you in a disease free state. Given that a lot of the foods we eat, even those found in a so-called healthy diet such as one made up of strict paleo foods, can still promote an acidic state, if not balanced properly. Here is a great article from Naturalnews.com that covers numerous ways to keep you in
