April Challenge of the Month
Wild Canadian Caribou (compliments of Mike S.) grilled and served over mixed greens w/ sliced pear
This month’s challenge is going to be a bit different. Instead of being based on athletic performance, it will require some culinary skills. The reason for this, is that CrossFit Sweat Shop’s mission is to educate, promote, and support, healthy lifestyles, and while exercise is a large portion of this, proper nutrition is equally, if not more important. No matter how consistent you make it to the gym, if you are unable to prepare healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals, you will no doubt be limited in the results that you see. Relying on restaurants and Whole Foods’ prepared items can only take you so far. Time and time again, the people that have demonstrated the most dramatic, and continued improvements, are those that are able to prepare a wide range of healthy dishes.
Guidelines for the challenge:
- You need to have made the food (no restaurant items)
- Email me a picture and list the main ingredients
- Scoring will be scored based on nutritional content and total number of total submissions for the month
- Limit 3 submissions per week
- Bonus points for creativity and presentation
Last month’s towel hang challenge is over, John M. and Lones had the strongest grip and were able to hold on the longest in their respective categories. Check out everyone’s time, as well as the overall points standings, here. Remember, points are awarded to the top three finishers in each category, men under 40, men 40 & up, women under 40, women 40 & up. At the conclusion of the 6 month series of challenges, the winner of each category receives 1/2 off from one month membership dues!
