By: Sabrina Blajos For those of you who don’t know, I am a Fall Lover and a born “Basic.” Pumpkin everything is life this time of year for me. However, as I get more and more into nutrition, into creating habits, developing goals, and practicing self-discipline. I find that it’s hard to keep some of the more “fad” habits a part of my daily lifestyle. So like anything, you have to find what’s worth it and what’s not. So below I listed some of my favorite Fall treats and the substitutes I like to use from trusted resources and friends. Some of them you can use daily, others, on special occasions. If you try these out let me know what you think, or if you have any good ones that I must try! Always looking to try new coffee hacks! =] Drinks by WAG (Working Against Gravity): Pumpkin Spice (Grande,...Read more

Nervous about trying yoga? Do you tell yourself you’re not “good” at it or “not flexible enough? Jason McDaniel, Double Edge member since April of 2015, tells us a little about his own journey to using the yoga program and how it has helped him both in and outside the gym. Briefly describe your journey to yoga. Did you first try it through Double Edge? What made you step into the studio for the first time? When I started Welded I had a lot of issues with my form. I came from a background where I had put my body through a lot of abuse. My manual labor job was the type where I would go from sitting to moving something extremely heavy in a moment’s notice to sitting again. Most of this time my body was in poor positions. When the yoga program was first brought up, I was...Read more

By: Joaquin Ramirez (Greg Glassman, CF-L1) As most of you know by now Crossfit has proven to be a very effective way of improving health and fitness. Greg Glassman the founder of Crossfit has laid out this pyramid (above) as a guide for us to follow on this fitness journey. Did you notice that the foundation of that pyramid is nutrition? If you do not have a strong base and a good foundation through solid nutrition practices then you cannot expect to keep progressing towards great health and fitness. Try and imagine this pyramid in a different context. Instead I want you to see the nutrition piece in relation to your life. If you eat out often or just grab what’s convenient then your foundation is small, weak or brittle. You continue to spend time working hard on improving your conditioning, gymnastics or weightlifting yet you have barely scratched the...Read more
