Mighty SD

MIGHTY FOREVER!

came into Mighty as a broken endurance athlete, we then helped to nurse her back. Through the years of hard work I watched her evolve into a cf athlete while giving birth to 2 more children. Mind you she did this while commuting an ungodly amount to be a part of our Mighty family. Fast forward to now being coach spreading the gospel. Its been a wild ride kid, thank you for letting us be a part of it.

You took a leap of faith and invested in yourself. We took you through the on-ramp curriculum to make sure you had an understanding of the fundamentals so now begins your journey and we are here for it. Welcome to the Mighty family

Be stronger than your excuses.

The methods are many — The principles are few.

When it comes to nutrition, I’ve personally tried 8:16 hour intermittent fasting, high-fat diets, butter in my coffee. I’ve eaten 5 small meals per day for a while, was vegan for 5+ years, quit coffee. Tried carb cycling, meal timing, tracking food, went through a period of time putting turmeric on everything, back to coffee. Intermittent fasting for a major cut, counting macros, weighing foods, almost quit coffee again (but didn’t), reintroducing meat, fish and dairy… Don’t touch my coffee.

Some phases came naturally. Truth be told, other phases sowed deep-rooted beliefs to my core that I felt was part of my identity and very hard to shake.

Crazy thing is, I found results through all of these methods, only because their principles were more or less the same.

Here are some my daily focuses:

1. I put a focus on protein at each meal. For me, a simple target has been my weight in lbs of protein per day.
2. Filling the rest of the plate with as many real, less-processed foods as I could. These are nutrient-dense foods that I can fill up on. I promise you, I love to eat just as much as you. Typically fruits, roasted vegetables, beans and grains. (I know what you’re thinking - CARBS?!?)
3. Eating slow and mindfully- eating without distraction of phone, computer or TV, while sitting down. Chewing each bite 20-30 times (sounds laborious, but you get used to it quickly. Your digestive track will thank you!) Setting my fork down between bites and taking a breath.

These are some of MY food principles, not because they are the “right” way, but because I can consistently and sustainably follow them, while getting the performance and recovery results I desire.

The best nutrition plan is the one that works for you. Lame, I know, but here are a few things to consider in helping you keep things simple:
-Does your plan raise your self-awareness around food? Attention is key!
-Focus on food quality.
-Do the foods I’m eating help me control appetite and hunger throughout the day?

Hope this helps get your mind going! -Coach Sam

athlete: Im so freaking sore. How do people come five days a week?

coach: well how hard did you go during those classes?

athlete: I did RX on two of the 3 days this week and I feel dead today for the heavy back squat day.

me: well thats great you were able to do that but if your goal is to be able to go 5 days a week maybe understanding that you don’t need all that intensity everyday.
Yes it is true intensity is where we get the results but if you beat yourself up everyday than your training frequency might suffer.
My suggestion is that if your goal is to come 5 days consecutively then consider tempering down intensity by lightening the load and going slower. On the days your feeling good thats when you can TURN UP. Listen to what your body is telling you and you will be able to have more training volume consistently rather than waiting to days to fully recover between your training sessions.

Christine wanted a change in her body. Tried different areas of fitness. Personal trainers, boot camp studios but overlooked Crossfit due to certain stigmas that came with it. She also tried popular nutritional trends but still couldn’t affect her body composition.

None of it worked.

Until she found the right support system in our community and some taylor made nutritional counseling from coach .

She was taught by our coaches to trust a certain mindset when it comes to her nutrition and her training. She learned to keep food intake to moderate levels that will support exercise but not body fat. She learned about movement mechanics , strength training for body composition change and how important intensity was when used correctly.
She trusted the process and began her journey in silence.

Eight months into her journey, she is down 27lbs has more visible muscle tone and has leveled up her fitness has. She commutes over 30 miles to meet with us 5 days a week to leave it all on the floor. Hard-work and commitment does work. But you have to want it. If your tired of not living up to your potential and want be surrounded like minded people and supportive coaches, dm us or shoot us an email at [email protected] to get started.

Do you train or do you exercise?

The training mid-set would have move with intent and purpose with the end goal of achievement in said training goal.

The exercise mindset would be the latter, having you believe that mindless movement allows you to mark✅ because its a step in the direction of health and fitness. We would be the first to stay that all movement is better than no movement. No? But we digress, its like going to a job that you hate but you go in do day in and day out because it pays the bills. That might work for now but it eventually it wont.

Comment below if you know the difference? What are your training goals?

Congratulations the our athletes who made it to the semifinals. Thank you for your continued inspiration. .marie0213

22.1 in the books

“Yea sure I have done CrossFit before” But have you really?
We’ve all YouTubed videos and had a friend who does CrossFit show you the ropes. You might have even dropped into a class once here and there.

But have you ever been coached thoroughly through the watchful eye of a professional coach? Learned the fundamental movements safely and understood what real intensity is, and how to apply it?

Taken a class with like minded supportive individuals? Been in a group setting that is encouraging and feels like a family?

Forget the stigmas that come with brand name of “CrossFit “ It isn’t all about competition, high intensity without structure, and movements that injure people.

In the right setting, it is about restorative functional movement performed at relative intensity that will challenge you to be a better version of yourself.

If you’re ready to find your tribe break free of the gimmicky experience come to the one of last few standing OG CrossFit gyms in
