30 Day Paleo Challenge

The summer is coming and even CrossFitters care about how they look on the beach!

So we have put together a plan, in conjunction with Plan P, to get you in the best possible shape we can.

From Monday 6th June, CrossFit Connect will be running a 30-day Paleo challenge. We will be holding a talk on Saturday 4th June at 12.30, after our skills class, to run through the plan and answer any questions you may have, as well as giving you some guidance on how to handle the 30 days.

What is Paleo?
 If you’ve been training with us for any period of time then you will have heard us talk about this a lot. It is, we believe, the healthiest and most nutritious plan on which to base your everyday nutritional needs. The talk that we will hold will go into more details but Paleo in brief = meat, veggies, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO SUGAR! Basically removing all the processed bread, rice, and pasta-like items from your daily plate (and any and all sugar/artificial sweetener infused beverages) and eating clean.

The challenge is open to all of our members and their family and friends. Prizes will be awarded to top male and female for the most stunning physique transformation. This contest is not based on weight loss or measurements alone, your goal may be to bulk up for example, so even if you don’t want to lose a whole lot of weight you still have a great chance to win! Its simply the best physical change in body shape and composition.
 
So if you are thinking about coming down to check us out maybe the 4th of June would be a good day! We will require before and after photos and for you to keep a quality food diary of the entire 30 days. This way you will really be accountable for what you eat. When you write everything down you really get to see all of those 'treats' that you conveniently forgot when someone asks you if you eat well! As for training, we recommend a minimum of 3 x a week to see the best results.

All members that are interested just let myself (Holly) or Dave know and we will put you on the list. The more the better as you will really stick to it knowing that your fellow members are going for it too. Many other CrossFit gyms have held similar challenges and have seen some great results in their members body compositions and weights in just the 30 days.

Join up and boost the hard work you are doing during the classes even further!
