Team CrossFit Austin – The Whole Life Challenge

WLC-Seals-NewYear2015-04

You + Whole Life Challenge = Team CrossFit Austin

Challenge = Change // Goals = Gains

{What is it?}

While everyone wants to look and feel better, it can be a challenge to know how or where to start. The Whole Life Challenge focuses you on the key areas of your life that produce real, life long changes. Playing together with your friends and family in a fun and motivating daily game, you’ll create new healthy habits that last long after it ends.

The Whole Life Challenge focuses on 7 daily habits that you will learn and create for yourself as you journey through.

  • Eat by the WLC rules you choose at {the level that is right for you}. Make conscious choices that support your vision for a healthy lifestyle. Earn up to 5 points daily for nutrition.

  • Exercise for at least 10 minutes each day. We recommend 3-5 “workouts” each week. The other days you’ll earn your points by being active. Ride your bike, surf, hike, even take an invigorating walk at sunset. This is your time to move daily. You earn 2 points for exercise.

  • Stretch for at least 10 minutes each day. You earn 2 points for stretching.

  • Water One third of your body weight in oz. of water each day (20 ml per kg). You earn 1 point for water.

  • Supplement with a dietary supplement that would make a difference for your body if you took it every day. You earn one point for your supplement.

  • Live the {WLC weekly lifestyle practice} – things like sleep, meditate, & supporting others. You earn 1 point each day you complete the weekly lifestyle task.

  • Reflect at the end of each day and check in with how it went and how you’re doing. No amount of numbers can paint the whole picture. Your daily reflection helps you see how the challenge is really going. You earn 1 point daily for your reflection.

{How Do I Play?}

The {Challenge} begins with taking your preliminary measurements and completing a scalable workout that will be repeated at the end.

Throughout the 56 day challenge you will post your scores in the 7 categories listed above. The Challenge is designed in a way that we can work as a team to check in with and support each other on a daily basis. CrossFit Austin, in addition to programming, will also be hosting weekly Saturday Educational and Support Seminars to help you along the way. Our {Coaches} are participating on different levels and will be able to help you out as well!

To close out the Whole Life Challenge, you will repeat the preliminary measurements and workout to gauge how far you’ve come! But, it doesn’t end there! The Whole Life Challenge is designed to help you make healthy lifestyle changes that last.

What is it?
The Prep
 at CrossFit Austin will start on Monday, January 5th. {Cycle 2} begins Monday, January 19th. Designed to introduce those new to CrossFit to the fundamentals and essential movements often seen in many of our group classes, The Prep will be a multifaceted course that teaches proper movement, recovery & mobility technique, nutrition & lifestyle guidelines; training that ultimately gives our clients the true {life changing} sense of the power of the CrossFit methodology. We’re not just movers and shakers at CrossFit Austin – we’re thinkers, too. Producing athletes that train smart, work hard and also know their shit is what we’re all about.

What’s in it for you?
Train Smart| We’ll teach you to lift & move proficiently
Dedicated time working on the technique of CrossFit Movements over the course of 12 classes, with technical mastery being a focus. Consistent exposure to the movements will adequately prepare each for success in the group class environment. Quality over quantity in your movement is our goal.

Work Hard | We’ll teach you to recover effectively
The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts; it’s in this time that the body adapts to the stress of exercise and the real training effect takes place. Learning what and how to fill this time outside of the gym is our goal.

Think Well | We’ll teach you to eat efficiently
The individuality and uniqueness of our clients are what makes our community a phenomenal place to thrive in their training. Nutrition can’t be a ‘cut and paste’ for each individual – there’s no cookie cutter way to properly eat. Revolutionize the way you view nutrition and eat over the course of 12 classes and learn what works best for your ID.

What you get:
4 weeks | 12 Sessions
Just show up; we’ll do the rest. 3x/week for 4 weeks {M/W/F at 6:30 am} or {M/W/Th at 6:30 pm}

1 Coach | 6-8 attendees
The Prep Course will be limited to 6-8 attendees per time slot  to ensure everyone gets quality, semi-private coaching

Prep Guide | Setting you up for Success
The Prep Guide will include all the nutritional, lifestyle, and training  lessons that we cover in class. The Prep Guide will serve as a reference and a tool for you throughout your time at CrossFit Austin.

Extra Credit | Fitness beyond the gym
The Prep Course will also include specific training and recovery techniques to be utilized outside the walls of the gym. We’ve found that many of our athletes want to go the extra mile and this is our way to ensure they do it safely and effectively.

There are two course times available, beginning on Monday January 5th.
Morning | Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 am
