Today’s WOD:
What is the best way to strengthen joints throughout your body?
To strengthen your joints, you need to strengthen the muscles around your joint. All the lifts that we do in the WOD are good ways to strengthen your joints, but to increase joint strength even more… The Olympic lifts are the way to go.
The Olympic lifts will increase all the muscles around the joint instead of specific muscles. The reason the Olympic lifts strengthen more joints is because you have to lift and stabilize the weight at the same time.
For example by attempting the push press you are working more of the muscles are the front portion of the shoulder, but if you attempt an overhead squat, you are working the front, back, and middle muscles of the shoulder. This is also true for the hip, knee, wrist, elbow, ankle, and all other joints throughout your body. By increasing the strength of your joints, you will also see an increase in weight in all the lifts we do in our WODs.

From her 1st day Becky goes all out each workout
CrossFit is a method of training that offers a chance to improve everyday! To be better than yesterday. Are you just going through the motions? or… do you barely get by with what’s acceptable? Is every repetition perfect? Do you cheat yourself and the quality of your movement just to finish the workout faster?
The Real question is:
Are you giving it your all?
These are very important questions we should all consider when looking to improve on a personal level. Considering that we are never going to be perfect.
But are you raising your game enough to be better each time?
Today’s WOD:
So your pumped up and ready to follow the Paleo Diet. You read the book, CrossFit consistently, got your list of foods you should eat and are encouraged to avoid.
But, how the heck can you implement this new crazy diet in your REAL life?
What if you go out to eat? What do you do?
What happens when you didn’t go grocery stopping? What do you do?
What if you run and get fast food? What do you do?
What if you are at a party?
Life happens, we know that. We are not perfect. But at Paleoholics we are learning what works for YOU in YOUR life and if we educate ourselves and have a group for support and accountability we will succeed.
Tonight’s topic: “Paleo on the go” Bring a list of ideas and tips that have worked for you on the go. We will compile a BIG list of everyone’s ideas and tips that everyone provides.
See you tonight!

Annie received Top scores in the Tabata and Fran (time 3:30) workouts out of 65 people! Way to represent CrossFit Sioux Falls.
Here is what you missed…..
For those of you that did or does play a sport competitively in high school college; did you ever get into that “Athlete’s Zone”? You know, that zone where you can’t miss a free throw if you tried, or the later the game was the faster and harder you could run, or when you were on a run and you never got tired and it seemed like you could run forever.
CrossFit is very relatable to former athletes because we teach fitness as it’s own sport. Everyday our workouts are similar to competitive events. With the clock, the group, the music blasting and the energy it creates do you ever find yourself in “YOUR WORKOUT ZONE”?
Do you notice the body(ies) next to you? Do you move along almost unaware of those around you?
