Stretching out after the Benchmark workout.Nice job this morning! Great way to kick off the month with some squats, burpees and runs! It's great to see some new faces and to reunite with the rest!
Nutrition
We talked a little bit about nutrition this morning and there's lots of good info in the log books that we gave you. If you're more of a visual person, check out this very informative infographic about eating Paleo.
JW mentioned this morning that you can't outwork a shitty diet. It's true. While it's definitely ok to splurge every once in a while, overall, it's beneficial to fuel your body with good stuff. The basic concept of Paleo is that our human bodies are designed to operate best with a certain types of "fuel." Think about if instead of putting gasoline in your car - which is what it's designed to run off of - you instead dump kerosene into the gas tank. Well it might work for a little bit, but not too long, because it's not designed to run on that type of fuel. Heck, the car might even evolve into a big ole fireball. Who knows. But the point is that we should be putting fuel into our body that we're designed to operate on.
Hit up any of the instructors anytime you like. We're here to help y'all. We're looking forward to an awesome month!

Ahhh, nothing better than the combo of BTB OTB and August heat and humidity! It was great to be back outside with my fellow Freedom campers. A big thank you to our instructors for cooking up a great baseline workout. Looking forward to another month of fun!
You know it's summer when simply standing upright outside has you dripping sweat! Great benchmark this morning! Nothing says fun like burpee's... oh wait. :) You can pretty much assume that if Dennis is involved, we'll have burpee's.
Great to see so many new faces this morning and a big "Welcome Back" to those who we missed last month! Can't wait to see what OTB has in store for us - it's surely going to be a big ole sweaty mess of fun!

Woohoo August OTB! Cannot wait to see what the instructors have in store for us this month. It's sure to be awesome, sweaty and fabulous.
