We are a place of positivity and support! So let’s have some fun while we support Men’s Health!

21.01.2022 Week 1 of the #800gChallenge! While you should weigh and measure your fruits and veggies at home or work, you can estimate quantities when eating out or on the road. A simple tip is that 1 cup of many fruits or vegetables is ~100g (except leafy greens which are ~25g/cup). As shown, a closed fist is about the size of a cup. Lighter items are closer to 100g/cup and heavier items are closer to 160g/cup. Don’t be afraid to eyeball it; you will likely be within 20-30 gra...ms. And all that weighing and measuring at home will help make this more accurate over time. @optimizemenutrition #800gchallenge #puttingametriconquality #healthyeatingwithouttheobsession

17.01.2022 We often change many things in life searching for happiness. Always hoping that the next change is it, the one that's going to make our life better. The new job, A holiday, new partner etc... 6 months later life repeats, you’re unhappy again, looking for change, looking for that one thing again It’s a vicious cycle! Positivity is the only way, when we let negative energies into our life they latch on and transfer to other parts of life. Gradually over time the negativity tak...es over and we look elsewhere to find happiness. Change your life today with positive thinking! When something bad happens look at the positives. When you’re down surround yourself with positive people, their energies will bring you back up. When someone’s talking in a negative way walk away from the conversation. Remove all negative energies from your life and stay Positive!

16.01.2022 COACH TIP TUESDAY Do you struggle initiating the start of your kip?? Coach Char has 2 quick tips to get you well on your way! ... 1- Always start underneath the bar. 2- As you catch the bar, jump into a hollow body position. Let’s us know if there is something you would like our coaches to cover!

16.01.2022 Be who you aspire to be. Don't limit your own potential.

16.01.2022 "You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination." We love our community and the support they have for each other! Come see the possibilities you could achieve with this crew by your side! Can not wait for when we can have big sweaty group cuddles again!

15.01.2022 No single day of the #800gChallenge is that difficult, but the challenge reveals itself in trying to be consistent with the metric across days and weeks. Hitting a high of 1,200g one day just to fall off the next is less ideal than consistency reaching a lower target. In the example shown, the roller coaster graph results in 1,000 fewer grams per week compared to the individual who "just" hits 800g/day. In a month, that is 50+(!) servings of fruits and vegetable missed and the potential effects on health and performance in the long-term become obvious. Even if the 800g target has been too much of a challenge for you, find a target where you can be consistent. It's the final week; let's finish strong! #800gChallenge @optimizemenutrition #puttingametriconquality #consitencymatters

15.01.2022 COACH TIP TUESDAY New equipment, new skills! Coach Pete takes you through how to use the Concept 2 Ski Erg.

15.01.2022 COACH TIP TUESDAY Coach Char is here to give you a couple of pointers on the Press and Overhead positioning. Next time you are doing any pressing in the gym, focus on these points of performance. You will be more efficient and your body will be in a safer position.

15.01.2022 Coach Tip Tuesday Are you chasing the Strict pull-up? Follow this series of 3 videos with Coach April, taking you through the steps to achieve strict pull-ups. ...

13.01.2022 To be sustainable, the #800gChallenge requires consistently making better choices throughout the day. If you are having a hard time hitting that 800g total, how does breakfast look? By putting 200-300g grams in the bank at breakfast, you are setting yourself up for success and flexibility later in the day. @optimizemenutrition #800gchallenge #puttingametriconquality #healthyeatingwithouttheobsession

12.01.2022 COACH TIP TUESDAY Coach Dani takes you through Hip CARs. This is a great exercise to challenge the hip at its end ranges through internal and external rotation, where it is commonly the weakest. This will help strengthen the region and also keeps our hip joints nice and healthy through full range.

12.01.2022 10 Habits to stop doing; 1. Snoozing the alarm, it’ll make every other decision that day harder to make 2. Being late, being late is like saying my time if more important than yours. 3. Gossip. ... 4. Passing judgment, don’t criticise others! You don’t know their circumstances 5. Eating while on your phone or watching TV, take time to enjoy your food with others around you. 6. Leave dishes in the sink. 7. Losing your temper in traffic, it’s out of your control. 8. Watching the news, it’s easy to get caught up in what’s happening in the world. Instead focus on what’s happening in your area - things you can make a change to. 9. Look at emails before lunch. 10. Waiting for perfect. Don't wait till you're ready, jump straight in! See more

11.01.2022 Guess what?! We are giving away a FREE pair of socks or drink bottle with any True Protein purchase!!! *While stocks last

11.01.2022 Push-ups and Perfect Progessions with Coach Al At CrossFit Hunter we're all about technique and movement quality, when performing push-ups your elbows should always face back, forearms vertical and close to the body. Why? Because this puts your shoulders into a stable, neutral and healthy position. What if I can't perform a push-up correctly yet? ... Progressions to perfection, I repeat, "progressions to perfection". Now in the fitness industry you will hear the phrase "progression not perfection". Now, while we agree you should always be progressing, there is always a "perfect progression" to work towards perfection. The most common issues we see in people who can't perform a push up correctly are weak core, no spatial awareness and upper body pushing weakness, the triceps. So, how do we improve this? Simple, we scale the movement and breakdown into "perfect progressions" that move you towards the push-up. You can find out by clicking the link below. How to improve your push-ups! 2 day a week push-up program Day 1) 3 sets of 5-10 incline push-ups, start off at an incline position where you can perform 5 perfect reps. Stay at this position until you can complete 10 perfect reps, now lower the incline and repeat. Continue this process until you're down to the floor :) 3 sets of 15-40 second hollow holds, find your starting position and stick with that until you reach 40 seconds, then increase the intensity of the movement. Repeat until you can hold a perfect hollow for 30-40 seconds. 3 sets of 5-10 triceps DB kickbacks, start with a load you can perform 5 perfect reps / side, stay at this weight until you can perform 10. Once you can perform 10 increase load to achieve 5 perfect reps again. You can also vary these with 3 second lower and 2-5 second holds at the top Day 2) 3 sets of 5-8 close grip bench press at 31X1 tempo, use a tough load for these and continually try to increase weekly 3 sets of 15-20 laying DB triceps extension, these will be relatively light but challenging, you should feel a triceps burn. Slowly increase load every couple of weeks

01.01.2022 KEEPING ON TOP OF YOUR NUTRITION BASIC LIFESTYLE GUIDELINE With our routines out of sorts it’s easy for us to forget about the basics of a healthy lifestyle. This is a great time to look back at our Basic Lifestyle Guidelines. Following these guidelines and implementing a simple change like eating away from screens can mean the difference between finishing a meal when satiated or unconsciously forcing down another serving of pasta. Small changes like this can make a big diffe...rence when our daily movement is lower than normal and have additional work stress. STOCK UP ON QUALITY FOOD While this time of uncertainty can be just that, a great way to keep progressing towards your goals is to stock up on quality foods over highly processed non-perishables. Seek out healthy, freezer-friendly, and shelf-stable options when going to the grocery store, instead of overly processed pantry items. Healthy alternatives can include frozen cuts of lean protein, vegetables, fruits, shelf-stable fats, and starches like rice or beans. COOKING MEALS Most restaurants and public spaces are closed at the moment, so this is a great time to cook your own meals or learn to cook! Home cooked meals tend to be healthier because it is easier to control the quality of the ingredients and limit excess calories from oils and sauces. Another benefit of cooking your own meals is improved digestion. The act of thinking about and smelling food before its consumption produces saliva and begins the digestive process. Tie this in with chewing 20+ times and you might see more results than expected from this time at home. MEAL-PREPPING With the extra time you might currently have, it’s a great opportunity to meal prep. This will pay dividends when returning to our normal routines. Start with small steps like batch cooking a protein in the slow cooker, roasting a bag of sweet potatoes, prepping multiple breakfasts at a time, or simply write out what a week of meal prep could look like. This is also a great time to experiment with new recipes and methods of cooking. Building this skill set now is a great use of time and will give you something else to focus on. KNOWLEDGE While not everyone is chasing a six-pack, this extended period of time at home is a great opportunity to develop nutritional skills that will support your health and fitness goals for the future. If you wish to improve your knowledge contact us. We will provide you with the right mix of education, challenge, and support!
