Nutrition. It’s the base of the pyramid!
It’s no secret that within Crossfit nutrition is something we talk about. What we may not realize, is nutrition is the base of the Crossfit pyramid. Without proper fuelling, the rest of efforts are futile. I like to use a vehicle as an example. We can take our vehicle for service; get it tuned up, get fluids changed, wash it, and whatever else we want to do to take are of it. We can even take it in for fancy upgrades. At the end of all of that, if we put bad fuel into it, it’s not going to run. Period!
At 306 we are very fortunate to have Rebecca on staff who is a certified nutrition coach. She has a vast amount of knowledge to make sure that the fuel you are putting into your body matches its demands and needs. The proper fuel allows all the other building blocks to be utilized and all those “performance upgrades” we bolt on in the gym to be put to use.
Linked below is an article from the Crossfit Journal entitled “Five Habits of Highly Successful Eaters”. There are some very good quick points to get you headed in the right direction. If you want to get a personalized plan to make sure that base of your pyramid is solid, get in touch Rebecca (Rebecca@CrossfitReebok306.com) and she would be happy to help create an action plan for you.
