Every year, since 2007, Diablo CrossFit members of the Diablo Community challenge ourselves to abstain from alcohol for 6 weeks, Jan 1st – Feb 14. This challenge gives all of us the opportunity to learn about our relationship with alcohol and its impact on our fitness and nutrition. This year, we’re offering you a chance to measure your physical change with a before & after InBody body composition test. Normally $48 per test, we’re offering 2-for-1 pricing if you register for the 2019 Dry Caveman Challenge.
Craig’s List
What exercise science can learn from CrossFit – “As a field, academic exercise science has been wandering aimlessly for 50-plus years without so much as a working definition of fitness.”
—Nathan Jenkins. About 20 years ago, Greg Glassman defined fitness as “increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.” His common sense definition upended the traditional (and illogical) definition: “the state of being fit.” CrossFit is also measurable and repeatable – not just a sweat session. For these reasons I was attracted to CrossFit and have stayed with CrossFit for more than 12 years.
