HAVE YOU ADDED COCONUT OIL INTO YOUR DIET YET???

I sure do hope so!  Coconut oil has many healing properties.  It can aid in weight loss, digestion, heart health, skin health, etc…  Here is a piece from Dr. Mercola. Check out the entire article HERE.

How Coconut Oil Works Wonders in Your Body


Nearly 50 percent of the fat in coconut oil is of a type rarely found in nature called lauric acid, a “miracle” compound because of its unique health promoting properties. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties. (6)
Coconut oil is also nature’s richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. By contrast, most common vegetable or seed oils are comprised of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs), also known as long-chain triglycerides or LCTs.
LCTs are large molecules, so they are difficult for your body to break down and are predominantly stored as fat.
But MCTs (7) , being smaller, are easily digested and immediately burned by your liver for energy — like carbohydrates, but without the insulin spike. MCTs actually boost your metabolism and help your body use fat for energy, as opposed to storing it, so it can actually help you become leaner.
Back in the 1940s, farmers discovered this effect accidentally when they tried using inexpensive coconut oil to fatten their livestock.
It didn’t work!
Instead, coconut oil made the animals lean, active and hungry.

I know for me personally, it helped me lean out (my body composition went down 2% after adding coconut oil into my diet.)  I was stronger, yet leaner and had a healthy body fat %.  Also, it helped regulate my hormones and was a part of aiding in getting pregnant with Brylee.  I would simply eat a spoonful in the morning and in the evening.  I would cook my eggs and use it to bake with as well, but it’s not too bad just eating by itself.  Especially when you know how good it is for you!

Check out the video below of what coconut oil did for this gentleman…

2 MORE WEEKS LEFT OF THE ROWING CHALLENGE…

How many meters have you accumulated in the last 18 days?  Do you have 2 more weeks in you to finish strong?  Keep getting in a little each day and it will add up quickly!

Please contact your coach if you want to be a part of our ROW-A-THON on Saturday, January 28th from 7pm-2am.  We will have a big movie screen set up, four square, and Paleo goodies!!!  Come to row, to hang out, and to encourage athletes on the rower!

You don’t have to ROW to come to the box that evening.  You can come just as an encourager.  If you decide you want to row 1000m or so, I am sure a team would love to have you jump in and help.

To make sure there are an adequate amount of rowers for this event, please email Lindsey at lindsey@crossfithendersonville.com to save your team or yourself a rower. They are going quickly!  Only 5 rowers left for that evening!

Check out our final row video for a complete 10 minute tutorial over the entire rowing stroke.  Hope these have helped!  Thanks for being eager to learn and ask questions about the rower when you are in the gym.  Coaches LOVE to be asked how to help!

IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN CROSSFIT’S NEW COMMERICAL YET…

Pretty cool to see how CrossFit is growing.  A couple years ago, we would have laughed at the thought of a CrossFit commercial.  In 2005 there were less than 100 affiliates and now, in 2012 there are over 3,000.  Where will this movement of functional varied intense fitness take us?  I think that is for YOU to decide!  You make CrossFit what you want to make it.  The opportunity for elite fitness is right in the palm of our hands.  What will you do with it in 2012?

I’ve got one idea!!!  Plan to sign up for the CrossFit Games Open starting February 22nd!  Read more about it HERE.

A kick start to your “look better naked” goals for 2012?

Well, CrossFit Hendersonville has got it!  And we are starting the process of learning how to eat tonight at our Nutrition Seminar at 6:00pm in the box.  All members are welcome to attend.  If you have been to a seminar before, come on back!  If you have not been to a seminar, definitely come and get a seat in the front row.

We will be covering the basics of the types of food you can eat for best quality.  Carbs, proteins, and fats will be covered.  Then, we will spend most of our time diving into how much of that high quality food you should eat.

I have sent out the handouts through email for the folks that have signed up.  If you decide to come last minute, I can send those handouts to you Monday evening.  One of the handouts you can find HERE.

The best thing you can do is study the picture above AND read through the article I linked in the above paragraph.

Our 30 day challenge begins February 1st.  For 30 days we will challenge all participants to eat clean, strip all the junk away, and get serious about making change.  We have a good group of folks signed up already, so if you want in quit making excuses and procrastinating.  Sign up NOW and get ready to make change. Email Lindsey at lindsey@crossfithendersonville.com to get in on this 30 day challenge.  Details of the challenge are simple…

You commit to eating your best for 30 days.

You write down what you eat for 30 days (so that I can hold you accountable and give you advice on how to help you make change.)

You give all you got for 30 days.

Optional:

You can have pictures, measurements, weight taken on Thursday, January 19th. This is not necessary to participate, but it is encouraged.  As you know, at CFH we like to track progress.  We want to make sure things are changing so that you become as fit, healthy, and strong as you can be.

Who wants to look better naked this year?  Get on board!  It’s going to be a fun ride!
