A Look At The Week Ahead 4.29.19
Quick Review: What a week! Workouts were challenging last week – and fun. Make sure you take a day off if you’re feeling run down or overly sore. And ALWAYS talk to your class coach if you’re nursing an injury.
The Gymnastic clinics were full and full of great information. Thank you, Coach Travis. So, what’s next? Email your requests to info@diablocrossfit.com.

Craig’s List
Sleep Is the Most Productive Part of the Day, Markham Heid. “Most people need 7 to 9 hours to perform and feel their best.” No matter how many times we hear it, many of us fail to heed the advice. However, more and more clinical research is being published on this subject. In our own house, our daughter began homeschooling in 2019, which included allowing her to sleep as long as she desires (vs. rising at 7AM for class). The dramatic, positive changes in her behavior, work ethic and attention span can mostly be attributed to her improved sleep. It has been remarkable.
Markham’s article hits ALL of the key points. “Sleep is an evolutionary function that seems to be extremely important for our health and survival”.
Games of Thrones: OF COURSE!
Make it a great week,
Craig
