Crossfit, or any athletic endeavor for that matter, is as much mental as it is physical (some might say more). If you are performing the workouts consistently, but not seeing the results you desire, it is time to consider the impact of your mental state on your workout. Too often, we see athletes not performing to the levels of which we know they are capable.
The issue usually is not a lack of physical capacity. It is an issue of the mind. At this unique seminar, you will learn how important your mental state is to your physical outcomes during a workout, competition or sport. You'll have an opportunity to reflect on how you normally think, and what you, as an athlete, SHOULD be thinking. You'll learn how your thoughts control your actions, the impact of negative thinking, and ways to manage your thoughts and emotions during a challenging training session.
This seminar is open to CrossFitN30 members only. Find out more at the box.

"CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen."
This quote, attributed to Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit, was pulled directly from CrossFit materials. CrossFit athletes are encouraged to prepare for the "unknown and the unknowable." To be well-rounded athletes, capable of successfully competing in a wide variety of sports and activities. CrossFit athletes prepare themselves through consistent practice of Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning.
Almost daily (allowing for rest days), we participate in a "Workout of the Day," which includes varied, functional movements performed at high intensity. Varied means we do not get locked into one modality day after day (for instance, we do not perform barbell exercises every day). Functional means that we work the body in a manner that enhances its natural capabilities and function. We do not move the body in unnatural ways. High intensity...well, that is just something you have to experience to fully understand.
What started out as a thesis in the mind of Greg Glassman decades ago, has expanded to include CrossFit affiliates in countries throughout the world. Currently, there are ten CrossFit affiliates in Central Florida alone. Each is individually owned. Our businesses are not part of a larger corporation, nor are they franchises. While each embraces the CrossFit culture, philosophy and methodology, we all create a unique sub-community in the larger CrossFit community, each with their own appeal. Some hyper-focus on Olympic lifting, embracing the glamour of the sport, others are into competition, sport and games, still others are "party" CrossFits, much like "party colleges."
At CrossFitN30, we focus on staying true to the original concept of CrossFit, the one that is "designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience." You don't have to be able to snatch your body weight over your head when you walk in our doors. You don't have to buy special shoes. You can be a mother of two, a grandmother, an MMA fighter, a tri-athlete or someone who hasn't worked out since college (or high school, for that matter). You don't have to be fit to join our community. You don't have to pass a test.
What we do expect is that you commit to consistently striving to improve your fitness, that you show up for class ready to learn, ready to work. We expect you to consider the impact nutrition has on your health, fitness and performance. We expect you to embrace the joy of a good workout and a healthy lifestyle. We expect you to encourage others. Do these things and fitness will come. Health, athleticism, fitness, strength, power, stamina, speed, flexibility, accuracy, agility--these things are not reserved for the twenty year olds, the ones who have been athletes their whole lives, the ones who set records and win competitions. These gifts are for you, too, no matter where you are today. All you have to do is choose.

Each New Year, thousands of people around the globe resolve that this is going to be the year they "lose weight" and "get in shape." Fabulous! But how are you going to achieve this goal? Without a specific plan of action, a goal is just a dream. To be achievable, goals require specific, measurable, actionable steps you can take to get the job done. And, they need a deadline.
"Eat clean" and "workout more" may seem like good answers to the "How?" question, but what exactly does that mean? One person's idea of "eating clean" may be very different from another's...and neither may be effective in achieving your goal to "lose weight."
At CrossFitN30, we can help you determine what you really want to achieve with regard to your health and fitness, and more importantly, we can help draw a road map for you to reach your destination. We'll also be there with you every step of your journey, offering support, education and guidance.
Call today to schedule a FREE introductory workout and to meet with one of our CrossFit-certified personal coaches to learn more about how we can help you! Our number is (407) 415-0679, and our passion is assisting our members in living a healthier, happier life.

If you missed the Free Nutrition Seminar in December, plan to attend the one on January 10, 2012 at CrossFitN30. You might pick up some info about nutrition you've never heard before. In the meantime, throw away that store-bought salad dressing with high fructose corn syrup, gluten and soy and try this simple, homemade recipe.
Healthy-Fat Blend Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
Fill your salad dressing container with these approximate ratios of liquids:
1/3rd of container filled with balsamic vinegar
1/3rd of container filled with apple cider vinegar
fill the remaining 1/3rd of container with extra virgin olive oil
Add just a small touch (approx 1 or 2 teaspoons) of real maple syrup
Add a little bit of onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper and then shake the container to mix all ingredients well.

We hope everyone is enjoying a fabulous holiday with family and friends, feasting, resting and, in general, making merriment. We also hope you are being showered with gifts and good fortune. Remember, however, the best gift you can give yourself is to be kind to and to love yourself. It is startling, sometimes, to hear how people talk about their own bodies. These same people, I know, would never talk about anyone else that way, not their best friend, or other members, or even complete strangers.
We think words don't matter, but imagine saying some of the things you say to yourself to another person's face. Those thighs you think are "too big" helped you lift a heavy weight and run with it. Those arms that don't look as toned and cut as you want them to carry your children. Your shoulders are broad so you can bear your load in this world.
Does that mean we should just settle and never seek to improve our fitness, health and waistlines? Absolutely not! Accepting and loving yourself for just who you are and seeking to improve are not mutually exclusive ideas. In fact, living an active, healthy lifestyle and eating foods that nourish your body as opposed to foods that contaminate your body are acts of self-love and kindness. Fretting over all you are not and all you do not have, always wishing you looked or performed like so-in-so, all while alternately starving or stuffing your body--these are self-destructive thoughts and actions. You deserve more than this for yourself. So, this time of year, while you are giving to others, be generous with yourself as well. Give love, be kind, celebrate your health body, embrace life!
