One July 13th Momentum Training will be hosting its first of many Paleo Seminar.  We will also be encouraging all of our members to participate in a 30-day Paleo challenge.  Are you in?

How the challenge works:

On July 21st we will commence a 30 days STRICT Paleo with the following points system

2013-07-16 13.36.26

 

Scoring

Nutrition

+7 points for a full, pure Paleo day (only eating Paleo foods)
+3 points for 1 slip up in a day (all Paleo, but one small treat)
+0 points for anything more than 1 slip up

Training

+5 points for every CrossFit or Met-con class you do (this can be at any box, not just Momentum Training)
+2 points for an active choice e.g. taking the stairs, walk to or from work, etc…

Penalties

A 0-points nutrition day = 25 burpees
A 0-points exercise day = 500m row

Penalties are accumulated over the 30days.  You can choose to do them all at once, or you can do them after a workout at Momentum Training.

Honesty system

Obviously this is all based on honesty and self-reporting. You are only cheating yourself if you don’t play by the rules.

Measurement

  1. VISUAL: We highly recommend you take a picture (in your underwear) of yourself at the start, middle and end of the 30-dat Paleo Challenge.   Nobody but you needs to see this picture.
  2. BODY FAT: The team at Momentum Training has the tools and skills to measure your body fat percentage.  If you would like to have this done please let us know.  We will be ready with calipers in hand on the day of the seminar (13th July)
  3. PERFORMANCE: A special CrossFit Hackney workout of the day (WOD) will be used to test improvements in you fitness levels at the start and finish of the 30-day Paleo Challenge.  Please try and make it to the box on Sunday 21st of July for the WOD.

Momentum Staff

Josh, StreTch and Geoff will also be taking part in the 30-day Paleo challenge.

Warning: Geoff might be a grumpy man this month as his two favorite foods, cake and wine gums, are not Paleo.  It’s highly likely his frustration will be take out on Met-con participants. #tryharder
