Project RE-FAB YOUR AB's is about to start

 

 

. . .   the month long challenge running 1 - 31 October 2013, is designed to re-define (or maybe just find) your mid-section.  Brilliant for beginner/intermediate exercisers, or as an 'added extra' if you're more seasoned in the 'working-out' thing.

This months challenge was designed by the lovely Tamara Wright - owner and head coach of CrossFit Papamoa in New Zealand.

 

So here's what you get when you sign on the dotted line (or push the button in this case):

• A document that shows what you need to do throughout the challenge
• Photos and descriptions of the exercises, including scaling options if your core area is currently under-worked
• The link to our private Face Book support group - where you can seek group support/accountability or ask for one-on-one support, ask questions, get advice, make friends and help motivate others doing the challenge as well
• The code you can use to access your 10% discount with 'The Natural Grip'

(love these grips - you can find out more about them at 

 

www.thenaturalgrip.com )

• Your $100 health coaching voucher (yes, that's from me just because I think y'all are just so darned awesome and I want everyone to experience health like I know it can be and you deserve for it to be) . . . I'm good at what I do but if you want to know more check out www.healthcoaching.co.nz

(obviously sparring gloves, war paint & a cock-tail dress make it hard to put on a serious face!)

 

 

• Plus the very awesome Momentum Gear New Zealand have sponsored five very hot looking speed skipping ropes to give away to lucky participants (and y'all know there's going to be a skipping challenge at some stage!)

(see the handles on their own are gorgeous and the one you could win comes with a very spunky looking cable aswell!)

 

 

 

The challenge is being run by me via the FaceBook page www.facebook.com/MomswhoCrossfit

All profits go towards MOMMAS MASSIVE MISSION which aims to help as many CrossFit Affiliates as we can get child-care sorted, you know - so more parents can get their work-out on, without having to worry about the kiddies.

 It's DONATION ONLY to enter . . . and given it's a fundraiser, we'd love for you to encourage as many of your friends and family to take part (so don't forget to share this link with them).

For now all you have to do is go here:

Go on - you know you want to (and the Mommas will luff you long time for taking part!)

I DID IT MY WAY

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

 

I’ve gestated and now I’ve given birth to an actual ‘bloody hell she ain’t kidding, she did actually do one’ blog post. 

*Note – gestation period was not spent slouching in front of day time TV . . . 

I’ve gone and written an e-book (more on that real soon), done and passed the Crossfit Lev 1 Trainer course *doing smarty-pants dance*, got an additional FB page www.facebook.com/MomswhoCrossfit up and running (as well as www.facebook.com/HealthyNationNZ reaching it's first birthday) and spent some awesome time over the holidays with my DD who is now 8!

 

But I have noticed things people (because I occasionally pay attention) . . .

 

and what I have noticed, is that within my groups of peeps, there is a huge range of personalities, body types, religious (or not) beliefs, skin colors, backgrounds and reasons for doing things.

We learn differently, we were brought up differently, are built differently, handle pregnancy differently (combine those last two for me and you get
A) a lass with long legs and a very short waist; and
B) an in-utero child that only just fits, meaning she utilised Mommas ribs for karate-kid practise while her head was entirely down in my business)

.  . .  and just when you think you’ve got your personal space back, they learn to walk and even the toilet becomes a two for one deal (now she just waits outside bellowing at me through the door, *audibly sighs* so even the dunny is only a semi-peaceful escape) . . .

 

. . . and quite obviously deal with personal space issues differently!

 

And because I should now get back to my actual point  . . .

 

So we have to eat and exercise differently for it to work best for each of us.

 

You see folks, over and above the actual work, health takes skill.

The skill to recognise . . .

• The foods that work for you and those that might trigger cravings (a food plan that is seemingly nutritious, but has you delving for more food an hour after consumption, "is probably not workin' for ya girlfriend").
  
• The ratio of exercise to recovery that is prime for you and optimises what you do when you are working out.

• How it all melds in with YOUR actual life.

And a bunch of other things that I shall leave for another time (too many profound teachings in one blog, might leave you all fuzzy in the head).

So if you come across someone that doesn’t eat zone or paleo or raw *insert your diet type of choice*  (because their obviously an alien or whatever), please do not judge . . . people make discoveries about themselves at their own speed, and in their own unique way . . .

 

But what you can do my pretties is be faithful to what you know is right for you, lead by example and be happy that you could be inspiring another awesome human to do it THEIR way.

Love, hugs, a muscle-up and pink glittery things to y’all.
