Challenge Yourself

by Rebecca Brown on 06/21/13

We are already half way through 2013. It has flown by. The start of the year usually brings with it resolutions and goals. You might have even been one of many that started out the year with a goal in mind. If so, have you met it? Some of you might have and then again some of you might have drifted away from that goal and have yet to get done what you said you would. But it is not to late to get back on track to completing what you set out to accomplish.
Whether you have a goal right now or not I am challenging you to challenge yourself. The hardest obstacle in accomplishing anything will be yourself. Beat the best you have been and become better than ever. It all starts with that first step. Have someone hold you accountable and tell yourself positive affirmations everyday. It might not be easy, but anything whether big or small is doable as long as you put your mind to it. Post in the comments what your goal is or if you have accomplished it. You may even have have advice on how what got you through your journey. Remember no goal is too small or too big. Just have the heart and mindset to believe you can do it.

Water Water Everywhere

by Rebecca Brown on 05/13/13

     The weather is finally beginning to get warm. Your beginning to feel the sun's heat beat down on you and make your exercises that much more intense from the extra heat. You might notice your beginning to sweat a bit more than you did in the colder months and that you are starting to feel more thirsty. Are you drinking enough water? Probably not.
     Few people actually consume enough water throughout the day. It is especially important for athletes to make sure they are drinking adequate amounts of that high quality H2O, especially now that summer is upon us. So how much is enough? The amount of water and other fluids needed before, during and after exercise largely depends on the intensity and duration, as well as temperature, humidity, and your own physiology. A good rule of thumb is that if you are training regularly you need to consume between one half and one whole ounce of water, or other fluid, per pound of body weight per day. So if you weigh 150 pounds your goal would be to consume between 75 and 150 ounces per day.
     Getting all that water in is the hard part. Try to begin each day with a large glass of water, whether it is a training day or a rest day. Try to drink 2-3 cups of water before workouts and continue to sip on water every 15 minutes during exercise sessions. Make sure to drink a few cups of water after your workout to replenish all the water lost. You will see a difference in the way you feel as well as the way your skin complexion looks. It is a win situation all around. If your not getting near enough water in now, then take baby steps to build up to where you should be. Trust me the effort is worth it.

FBI Official

by Rebecca Brown on 09/06/12

Got the phone call today that my official fingerprinting and background check with the FBI has been approved! The most immediate benefit is that I can now go into Stratford High and play on their brand new lifting platforms with 2 new sets of bumper plates! Apparently, almost no one is using them! Heartbreaking!
So, twice a week, during the lunch hour, kids are going to be able to come to me and get a taste of what CrossFit is about. I'm hoping this will help get the word out to as many kids as possible about what we're offering with Steve's Club Nashville.
CrossFit is fun!! But I'm finding that half the battle with these kids is convincing them that MIGHT be true enough, for them to give it a shot.
Keeping my fingers crossed. Going to work with the basketball team in an hour!
