3 RFT

800 m run
21 kb swings

Don't forget that nutrition is a huge part of crossfit! You will see better results from the wod's if you eat healthy!
According to the CrossFit Journal, the CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows:
Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.

Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.

Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.

In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. That's about as simple as we can get.

If you have any questions about how to get started see one of the coaches! It's not a diet...it's a lifestyle!
