With summer in full swing, lets go through 5 tips to help you stay on top of your game!

1. Hydration - If your pi***ng Wotsits you need more water

Don't wait until you have started working out to worry about being hydrated! You should be thinking hydration from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep. Remember the average life expectancy is only 3 days, that just resets every time you have a drink!

2. Keep expectations realistic

Your body is already struggling with the heat, you're probably not going to RX and PB every workout but that is okay! Focus more on your effort output than the numbers especially in a heatwave!

3. You still need to warm up

I know you are already really warm from walking to the gym, sometimes even if that's just from your car! BUT you still need to help prepare your joints and nervous systems. Remember those movements patterns haven't magically gotten better just because it's warm.

4. Recovery matters more than ever

Recovery is always really important... but in the winter you're much less likely to stay up really late eating questionable food from a BBQ and sinking 10,000 pints!
There's hot weather and holidays getting in the way of consistency all over the place but make sure you are eating enough to support your training and getting as much sleep as you can.

5. Make the most of outdoor training

It's summer and we're functional athletes! Get out there and use those muscles! Early morning run? Yes please! Paddle boarding? Yes please! Hiking through the countryside? Yes please! Just remember to stay out of direct sunlight where possible and ensure you have enough water for your activity!

What do you do to keep going in the summer?

Why back as early as 2003 (before some of our members were even born, lets not think about that) did the CrossFit Journal crown the clean as the 'king of all exercises'?

Well lets break it down shall we? Maybe grab a coffee or a protein shake and buckle up!

When performing a clean you use your hips and legs to pull the weight off the floor, and launch it up before dropping and pulling yourself underneath the bar to receive the bar at the bottom of a front squat before standing back up standing tall and proud with the bar on your shoulders. When done properly a clean is something to behold and feels great!

All 10 general physical skills are touched on when you improve your clean but we will talk more about those next week, It might be summer but school is in session!

Why the clean and not the sn**ch?

Don't get me or CrossFit wrong the sn**ch is really good, and even covers nearly all of the fitness qualities of the clean but the clean is more accessible. It's mobility requirements are much lower as it's a front squat vs an over head squat.

It also leads straight into the clean and jerk, I'm sure we would all agree that a C+J is the most efficient way to get heavy weight over your head?

If you have never read the CrossFit Journal Article 'The Clean' I would really recommend it. Even though it was written in 2003 it is still relevant and guaranteed to help you improve your clean and thus... your fitness! If you fancy giving it a read and can't find it drop us a message and we will send you the link.

Anyone else missing MURPH yet? or has it not quite been long enough?
