21.01.2022 Ellie from @embody.nutrition. Are you suffering from Red-S (Relative-Energy Deficiency)? TRANSCRIPT: Relative-Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a syndrome that occurs as a result of inadequate energy intake, and / or excessive energy output. This results in what we call low energy availability, which body deals with by switching off functions that aren’t essential for life. Functions it affects include metabolic rate, protein synthesis, menstrual function, bone health, im...munity and cardiovascular health. When these are compromised in athletes, it can negatively affect both performance and health. RED-S does not only effect elite or professional athletes, but is common among sub-elite and recreational athletes as well. It can effect men and women. Warning signs for RED-S include: Frequent illness Fatigue Amenorrhea (loss of consecutive periods) Injuries Low mood Gut discomfort Reduced sporting performance If you think you might be suffering from Red-S reach out to your sports physician and dietitian.

19.01.2022 Ellie from @embody.nutrition answers the question: should you eat carbohydrates? TRANSCRIPT: CrossFit is sometimes associated with diets that restrict carbohydrate. There’s no evidence these diets result in superior performance in CrossFit, and the opposite might be true. In any given exercise, you are using carbohydrate, fat and protein for fuel but one will predominate. Depending on the type, duration and intensity of the exercise, you will see a shift in the fuel being u...sed. During longer sub-maximal exercise (think long-distance running), we use the ‘aerobic system,’ which uses carbohydrate, fat and protein as its fuel source. During high-intensity exercise, we use the ‘anaerobic system,’ which uses carbohydrate as its fuel source. So, as the intensity of exercise increases, carbohydrate becomes the main player! CrossFit is unique in that is highly anaerobic, as well as aerobic. This means CrossFit athletes rely heavily on carbohydrate for fuel, thus inadequate carbohydrate intake might compromise fuelling and recovery, and you could sell yourself short on what you could achieve.

17.01.2022 I love coming to CrossFit Wollongong. It’s a fantastic community and it’s like no other gym I’ve been to before. I actually get excited to come here each day. I saw the workout this morning and knew it was going to be a tough one but I got through it. You always do better than what you think. - Mia @missmiia____

16.01.2022 Ellie from @embody.nutrition talking about eating fats post exercise. Transcript: There’s some debate in the weightlifting community about whether you should eat fat post-exercise. This is warranted, because we know that dietary fat slows the rate of gastric emptying (OR how quickly food moves out your stomach). We also know that the rate of digestion can play a part in the anabolic OR muscle building response. Despite this, there’s not a lot of real-world evidence to sugges...t fat intake after resistance exercise negatively affects muscle protein synthesis. Interestingly, evidence suggests whole egg (that includes the fat) seems to induce a greater muscle protein synthetic response when compared to egg white ingestion alone after resistance exercise. This has also been demonstrated with whole milk VS skim milk where the whole milk had a greater effect on muscle protein synthesis. The take away point is - you needn’t worry about the fat content of your post workout meal your preferences, nutrition requirements and goals are more important. See more

13.01.2022 Building stronger humans

12.01.2022 I’m just dropping in for the day, and I thought it was a really good workout. We did different movements like ground to overheads, bike, ski and burpees. The bar work got really heavy towards the end but still enjoyed it. We finished up with 6 rounds. - Braedan

12.01.2022 Our top tip for today. Train hard, recover harder. Recovery is an important part of your overall training program. Recovery varies from person to person and there are multiple factors to consider. Here's some simple considerations when looking at recovery:... 1) Approx 7 to 8 hours of sleep (plenty of great trackers out there - worth the investment) 2) Focus on optimal sleep performance 3) Create and stick to a sleep routine This sets your body up for healthy, restorative sleep, and increases your chance of recovery.

10.01.2022 We love seeing our members looking as determined as this! Let this be your motivation to get into the gym today. http://crossfitwollongong.com.au/membersh/8-week-challenge/ #buildingstrongerhumans

06.01.2022 CrossFit affiliates are singularly and perpetually committed to the health and well-being of their members, and are leaders in the fight against disease. In that regard, these challenging times are no different. Despite uncertainty, we’re coming together even when we’re forced to be apart. Around the world, many gyms have already lent equipment to their members, organized video conferences to keep classes running, and donated time and advice to those who need help. We will highlight our efforts to showcase the true beauty and strength of the CrossFit affiliate community and show the world how we are getting through this together.

06.01.2022 Ellie from @embody.nutrition talking about fasted training for CrossFit athletes. Transcript: There’s a lot of misconceptions about training fasted - but for most CrossFit athletes wanting to perform at their best, we wouldn’t recommend it. You might train fasted if you’re doing a short low intensity aerobic style session, or if you have a really solid plan for meals after the session and for the rest of the day.... In most CrossFit-style situations training fasted is not going to provide a benefit, and potentially detriment your training. A commonly perceived benefit is greater fat loss, but evidence tells us fasted training does not result in more fat loss than fueled training does. If you’re weight training or trying to gain lean mass, getting food in beforehand is critical to limit muscle breakdown, promote muscle protein synthesis and optimise your training so you can push yourself. The bottom line is when performance matters and you want to push yourself, you shouldn’t train fasted!

06.01.2022 Crossfit Kids resumes Friday 31st July 4pm. Look forward to seeing everyone there!!

02.01.2022 Ellie from @embody.nutrition talking about how much protein do you need. TRANSCRIPT: Protein is potentially the most popular topic the sports nutrition world, and it can be confusing to know how much you actually need. If you’re a strength and power athlete, evidence suggests you need around 1.6-2.2g/kg protein per day to optimise body composition and facilitate recovery. If you’re not a numbers person and don’t track your intake, this might not mean a lot to you. You can, ho...wever, make sure that you’re getting in a quality protein source at breakfast, lunch, dinner and at least 1 mid-meal. This might be chicken, fish, meat, eggs, milk, yoghurt, legumes, tofu cottage cheese or protein powder. If you’re choosing only plant-based proteins, it will be important to focus on a getting a decent serve post-exercise to ensure you’re getting in enough leucine (the amino acid that is key for starting muscle protein synthesis).
