The Paleo Challenge Cometh!
I’m so excited for our next Paleo Challenge to begin this week! If this is your first time participating, you are in for a wild ride! The Paleo Lifestyle is such a game-changer, and participating in our challenge is such a great way to get introduced to the ins and outs of implementation in your daily life. I hope to see MANY of you at the Introductory Meeting on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:30 pm.
Participation in the Paleo Challenge includes posing for before and after pictures. If you plan on participating, please come in and get your photo taken during the following times:
- Tuesday, April 30 – 7:45 am to 8:00 am, 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm, and 7:30 pm to 7:45 pm
- Wedneaday, May 1 – 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm, as well as during and after the Paleo Talk as needed
I’ll talk about this a little bit at the meeting, too, but one of the things I like to add to my personal Paleo Challenges is a physical challenge as well – something like “I want to be able to do 10 strict push-ups by the end of 45 days,” or “I want to get one strict pull-up by the end of the challenge,” or “I want to improve my 5K time by 1 minute within the month and a half of the challenge.” These goals should be realistic and attainable, but also should present a real accomplishment when achieved. So, in addition to coming to the meeting with a pen and paper for taking notes, also come with your own goal in mind. Having trouble coming up with one? Ask your coach for a suggestion if you need one, and let’s see what we CAN’T do when our bodies and minds are aligned!

High Bar Back Squat – Find 1rm
After 1rm, if this is your first set of 20 (you have not been here for the last two weeks) reduce weight to 75% and complete a set of 20. NO RE-RACKING THE WEIGHT. If you need to rack the weight in the middle, you are finished, and we will reduce to a lower weight next week.
If you completed the heavy set of twenty last week or the week before: add 5lbs to your weight from last week.
