Here's how the point system breaks down:
Weight loss- 10%
Waist circumference- 10%
Body fat%- 20%
'Daniel' improvement- 30%
Food log- 30%
Everyone did so great and we're very proud of you all. It was a long 6 weeks that required a lot of mental strength as well as physical. We hope that you have made some healthy new habits and feel really good about where you are now. The goal of this challenge was to create awareness with what you were eating and drinking, as well as place an emphasis on 8 hours sleep and 15 minutes of daily stretching. This is why the food log was weighted so heavily at 30%. 'Daniel' was also weighted at 30% to ensure that you were practicing proper nutrition to continue to fuel your workouts. We wanted to avoid a basic 'weight loss' competition because we feel it is very important to learn healthy eating habits that enable your body to perform optimally. Excelling in this benchmark workout at the end of the challenge meant that you didn't compromise your performance along the way by eating junk or starving yourself just to lose weight.
By the way, for those of you wondering, 'Daniel' is a benchmark CrossFit workout that consists of:
50 pullups
400 meter run
21 thrusters (95#men/65#women)
800 meter run
21 thrusters
400 meter run
50 pullups
Most of the gang shaved about 6 minutes off their 'Daniel' time. That alone is very impressive. We ensured that all variables were the same with both the initial and the final workouts. The crew was running faster, knocking out the pullups and thrusters more quickly with less fatigue and moving from one exercise to the next with minimal rest.
Once again, huge congratulations to our winners Atlanta, Nick, Heather, and Andrea. Come get your $$$!
Are we ready for the next challenge?
