The greatest adaptation happens between the ears - Greg Glassman Last night we had and INCREDIBLE chat with @amalleolo and he drove home how important mindset is and how winners do one thing: WIN. They don’t make excuses, they don’t find reasons, they just do. Go WIN your Friday crew, get after it!!

Live! Coach Brent in your living room! Coach Brent has been working through his internship and didn’t let the lockdown slow him down. He took on the task of Zoom Coaching because he knows it’s here to stay. As a new CrossFit Coach this is NOT an easy task. But as a recently retired OPP officer after 33-years of service, he’s up for any challenge! Brent doesn’t have social media, but give him some love anyway!

What’s the best diet for losing fat? What’s the best exercise for strengthening my core? What’s the best time of day to workout? We hear it all the time. What’s the best ________ ? ... You want the best, and frankly, you deserve the best. However it’s important to make the distinction between the best [thing] versus the best RESULT. So often we get so wrapped around the axle on HOW to do something we lose sight of the what or the why. I can give you the best diet and exercise, but you might try it, hate it, and quit. Or, you’ll suffer through it, get to your goal, revert to your old habits and begin the path backwards... In an alternate universe I tell you to add your favourite fruit or vegetable to breakfast, lunch and dinner, sleep 8 hours a night and walk for 30-minutes a day. Maybe you LOVE THAT, you stick with it, decide it’s something you can maintain and next thing you know you’re at your goal! (Hint: do those steps above, that’s literally the secret, for free!) The best is what’s best for YOU. And that’s why working with a Coach is so advantageous, you get guided on what’s best for you. Our Intro package below takes all this into consideration, including a live video goal setting session with a coach. $95 gets you... Daily Workouts: $49 Value 4-Part "How To" Starter Videos: $95 Value 3-Week Meal Plan: $60 Value Live! Goal Setting Session: $30 Value 6-Week On Track Call: $30 Value https://shop.crossfitorillia.ca/get-started-page

Cut up some veggies for snacking. Put your water bottle on the counter. Lay out your gym clothes. Do something today, right now, to prepare yourself for tomorrow. It doesn’t have to be ground breaking, a little goes a long way. But doing 1 little thing now, to make it easier tomorrow, will start you on the path of positivity. ... Now go get after it!!

CrossFit on a racquetball court? Home made Equipment? Meat ONLY diet? We cover almost every topic imaginable in this chat with Jason Ackerman. Jason's roots in CrossFit run deep and we get to hear about what life was like in the gym in 2007, what judging at the The CrossFit Games is really like and the benefits of a #Carnivore diet. You're not going to wan to miss this!

Community. We pick each other up. We help each other rise. We text each other. We share support, ideas and pain. We suffer together (both in workouts and in lockdowns). We leave no one behind. This word has gotten thrown around a lot in the fitness world in the past few weeks but we can tell you, nobody does community better than CrossFit. Here’s the test: ask anyone what they love about CrossFit... See for yourself. We all need community now, more than ever.

We try not to get political, but in this case it’s remaining harder and harder not to. MPP Roman Baber wrote a very well thought out letter against the lockdowns citing statistics with references and even offered a suggested exit strategy. The response from FordNation? Remove him? Is this the type of government we’re leaning towards? Is true progress not found through a collection of ideas? This is scary... For those who are curious, I will post the letter in the comments.... Taken from the article: Ford calls Baber's letter "irresponsible" and accuses him of spreading misinformation. In the letter warns of the rise in addictions during the lockdowns and that mental health is suffering. Is this what we call misinformation??

We’ve believed in fitness from the beginning. We have options for you without a gym. Please, if you’re going to stay home, do something for your REAL HEALTH. #Repost @crossfit with @get_repost Mayo Clinic: Maximal exercise capacity determined from an exercise stress test before SARS-CoV-2 infection is independently and inversely associated with the likelihood of hospitalization due to COVID-19.

PR stands for Personal Record. A best. Something you’ve never done before. Look how many PR’s are on this board. This is a bucket FULL of people who, during a pandemic, are literally the strongest they have been! How do they do it? Community and consistency. That’s how you move flipping mountains!

I am Paleo I am vegan I am keto I am carnivore I am gluten intolerant ... All these things are labels, they give us identities and make us feel warm and fuzzy but what they don’t do, is teach us consistency. Anyone who sees success with any of the above labels, what they will all have in common is consistency. You’re encouraged to do whatever works for you, just remember this stuff takes time to do right. So you have to see it through to the end. See more

"Becky Clements Starts CrossFit Fearing COVID-19, Puts Diabetes Into Remission in Six Months"... The Premier FordNation warns of "turbulent waters ahead" yet, he won't throw anyone a life vest. Instead, we're asked to stay in the boat so to speak, wondering if we'll sink... It's hard for us not to be critical... If this is truly about public health, then why are the facilities used to administer preventative health, closed? ...Continue reading
