It's Time for a Burpee Challenge

I am presenting a Burpee Challenge, starting Sunday, Jun 3rd 2012 and ending on Saturday, August 11th 2012. The format will be based on weekly totals, instead of daily totals as in the past. This will allow you to plan your rest days more easily I believe. The challenge goes as follows:

1. Week one starts on Sunday, June 3rd. The total for the week is 150 Burpees.
2.  Perform these in whatever format that you wish, whether it's all at once or breaking them up over the course of the week. 
3. Each successive week the required total goes up by 50, i.e. week 2 total is 200, week 3 is 250 etc, until week 10 when the total will be 600.
4. Burpees performed during workouts count toward the weekly total.
5. Burpee overages cannot be rolled into the following week.
6. If the weeks required burpees are not completed, they must be made up in the following week, in addition to that weeks burpees
7. This is the accepted burpee form:  

Benefits of participating in challenge are increased fitness levels, core strength, mobility and a reduction in body fat.  Even if you doubt your ability to complete the challenge, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by at least trying. And be sure to follow Body Focus Fitness & Performance on Twitter and Facebook.  You can post updates about your progress and see what others have to say about theirs. Good Luck!

The Fountain of Youth

According to a recent study led by Tim D. Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College in London, exercise appears to slow the shriveling of the protective tips on bundles of genes inside cells (called telomeres), which means a slowing of the aging process.

"These data suggest that the act of exercising may actually protect the body against the aging process," said Spector.

Here's the study in a nutshell:
• Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and every time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter.
• Once a telomere gets too short, that cell can no longer divide.
• Aging occurs as more and more cells reach the end of their telomeres and die. This results in weakened muscles, skin wrinkles, loss of eyesight and hearing, organ failure and slowed metal functioning.
• The study analyzed the telomeres from the white bloods cells of twins over a 10-year period. Telomere length was used as a marker for the rate of biological aging.
• It was found that the length of telomeres was directly related to that twin's activity level. "There was a gradient," Spector said. "As the amount of exercise increased, the telomere length increased."
• People who did 100 minutes of weekly exercise had telomeres that looked like those from someone about 5-6 years younger than those who did 16 minutes of exercise each week.
• People who did 3 hours of vigorous exercise each week had telomeres that looked like those from someone about 9 years younger.
What does this mean to you? Workout frequently, workout hard and the fountain of youth is literally at your fingertips!

GearFFIT Monday: Grip or Slip

You grab a barbell. You swing a kettlebell. You hang from a pull up bar. These activities all have one thing in common: a secure grip is needed to safely and effectively execute them. And when you're deep into a workout, with the sweat pouring your grip can become a tad suspect. So what does one do when the bar is slick and the grip is failing? Many will don gloves in an attempt provide grip and protect their hands, but is this best solution? While gloves will undoubtedly protect your hands, the padding in the palm alters the diameter of your grip leaving you with more of a finger based grip than a palm based one. Now if you are doing pressing movements that doesn't present much of a problem, but if you are pulling a barbell or swinging a kettlebell then that finger based grip will start to fail in short order.

Enter chalk. Chalk is probably most seen by the general public in gymnastics competitions where you never see a participant mount an apparatus without first stopping at the chalk bucket, and for good reason. Chalk absorbs the moisture on your hands so you don't have to worry about slippage, and unlike gloves, there's no obtrusive padding to interfere with the natural diameter of your grip so you will have a safe, secure hold on that barbell, kettlebell or pull up bar every time. And with a more secure grip you can concentrate on the workout itself and lift with confidence. "What about the mess", you ask? Efforts have been made by manufacturers of chalk to reduce the amount of "dust" their products leave behind making clean up minimal and easy.

Chalk is relatively inexpensive and can be found at many places online including Amazon.

So ditch the gloves, start using chalk and get a grip on your workouts.

FoodFFIT Friday: A few words about coconut from our BFF athlete Cheri - our resident cocoNUT!

I love all things coconut. Coconut flakes, coconut butter/manna/concentrate (different words for the same thing), shredded coconut, coconut milk, even coconut flavored La Croix sparkling water...but most of all coconut oil. It is my holy grail. I am not kidding. There are ENDLESS possibilities with coconut oil. It is nutritious AND delicious. It is full of vitamins, minerals and fiber (you do not need “whole grains” for fiber…but that is a completely different post). Yes, it is saturated fat. Saturated fat is not the enemy the media once made it out to be. Trans fats and highly processed, man-made fats are the enemy. (That’s a different post as well.)

Coconut oil has been studied to show that the high lauric acid content of coconut oil is beneficial in attacking viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. It has been shown to aid in weight loss. It has been known to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and possibly prevent it. I know that for a friend of my grandmother’s, this proved to be true. There are several other health problems that it has been known to improve or cure.
For more detailed information on the above, check the following links:
http://coconutresearchcenter.org/
http://www.hybridrastamama.com/2012/01/160-uses-for-coconut-oil.html - this one has a whopping 160 uses for coconut listed!

There are tons of manufacturers of coconut oil. The best option is to get virgin, unrefined coconut oil. Regular markets do not always have unrefined options. Even the stores that do have it may still have refined, so read your labels.
Known stores that carry virgin, unrefined coconut oil:
Trader Joe’s
Whole Foods
Sprouts
and health food stores (there is one at Alma School and Elliot that has a pretty good selection)

My favorite brands that I’ve used personally are:
1) Tropical Traditions Organic Virgin Coconut Oil - Green Label (Gold Label is their “top” oil, but it can have a bit of a fermented smell/taste so I prefer the Green). Their site has free shipping specials often, plus they have recipes, a blog and a whole line of coconut products in addition to the oil. For the cocoNUTS, they have bulk options such as 1 gallon and 5 gallon buckets.
http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil2.htm

2) Garden of Life Virgin Coconut Oil – this is a quality coconut oil that I have used and like a lot.
http://gardenoflife.com/ProductsforLife/LIVINGFOODS/ExtraVirginCoconutOil/tabid/680/Default.aspx

3) Trader Joe’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – it’s not as awesome as the others, but at $5.99/jar, it’s a good option.

Nutiva, Dr. Bronner’s and Barlean’s also have good reputations.

Here are some of the many uses for coconut oil that I have had great success:
1) Replace unhealthy “vegetable” oils with coconut oil in all cooking and baking.
2) Add to smoothies
3) Add to coffee
4) Use it to heal burns, insect bites and cuts (first-hand experience for all!)
5) Use it as a sunscreen
6) Use it as a moisturizer – face and body
7) Use it as a cleanser / makeup remover
8) Use it in place of shaving cream and follow up as an after shave
9) Use it instead of eye cream
10) Coat the inside of your nostrils when it’s dry or if you have nosebleeds
11) Use it as a carrier oil for essential oils (to spread the oils further or if they are really strong and require dilution)
12) Use it as a deep conditioner for your hair
13) Use it to tame flyaway hair
14) Use it to moisturize leather
15) Use it to season cast iron pots and pans
16) Use it to pop popcorn (only non-GMO kernels, please!)
17) Use it as a nail oil instead of the over-priced tiny salon brand bottles
18) Whip it to make a coconut oil body butter http://www.livingthenourishedlife.com/2012/02/homemade-whipped-coconut-oil-body.html
19) Use it as an exfoliator (with baking soda)
20) Can be used as deodorant – I have tested it with baking soda and it does work…but it does not prevent perspiration
21) Use to remove ink pen marks from a toddler’s legs

There are probably more, but this is my main list. I know from a few friends that it did increase their milk supply while breastfeeding. As you can see, this is miraculous oil! I highly recommend adding coconut oil to your daily routine – both for cooking and skincare.

What does BFF trainer Chris do in her off time?

It is a really great idea to find some activities to keep you active in your "off" time from the gym. Cross training is fantastic for confusing your body, which in turn can help you burn more calories. It is easy to get into a "rut" or training the same way while you are at the gym. This will help keep things interesting and in the long run, keep you more motivated.

Another great part about participating in other activities is that it is a good measure for how well you actually are performing in the gym. If you aren't necessarily dropping weight, but getting more fit, this can be an encouraging sign that may only be evident by engaging in another form of exercise. I play soccer in my "off" time. It changes the way I workout because I can actually feel the results of my gym training while playing. If I had a not so stellar week of training, I pay the consequences on the field, and vise versa. It is "something to works towards", or an extra bit of motivation knowing you have to work hard to play your best, or keep up with the pack while hiking, etc.
Pick a new activity and go for it. Your body will thank you :)

Lesley Goes Outside with MovNat

I (Lesley) love learning new ways to get and stay fit.  So, this weekend I took a MovNat (www.MovNat.com) workshop at Papago Park.  MovNat is the idea of moving naturally.  The idea is simple in thought, but when was the last time you climbed UP a slide, played tag, or climbed a tree?  That’s exactly what I did with the instruction of Brian Tabor.  

I’ve got to say, it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.  The day was cool, overcast, and a little windy (not typical for Phoenix).  We began our warm up by closing our eyes.  Brian told us to just do movements we’ve never put our body in before – so I rolled and tumbled and stretched.  It’s freeing (and thankfully everyone had their eyes closed too).   

Then we learned to walk.  We followed Brian’s lead and pretended to walk over electrified fences and through narrow caves and under barbed wire.  The key was to visualize and put effort into whatever we did.   Visualization translates well into any exercise that you try.  Have you ever been so tired that you though you couldn’t do one more pull-up or one more sit-up?  Next time visualize what would happen if you didn’t!  Pretend you’d fall into lava or you were trying to rescue a loved one.  Bet you’d find that extra strength then!

We continued the day learning ground work – rolling in the grass and learning to effectively move our bodies from various positions.  I found several of the techniques we learned will be valuable in opening up the hips for many of the lifts we do.  There is a great hip opener for Turkish get-ups too.  Can’t wait to show Kevin that one!

Working on all fours came next.  We ran like bears, hopped like frogs, crawled like crabs and ran like werewolves.  Sometimes the best way to move is on hands and feet.  Have you ever tried climbing Camelback Mountain?  If so, you’ll know what I mean.

Another portion of our day consisted of moving people and things around – moves that can be very practical in every-day life.  I loved seeing the guys’ faces when I lifted one of them on my shoulders and walked him around the park.  If I was out hiking and someone broke a leg, now I know I could likely get them to safety.  As with all the training, knowing the proper technique and figuring out how to mentally break the barrier of “I can’t do that” opens the world to so many new and rewarding challenges.

We didn’t stay on the ground the entire day.  Brian taught us the best way to climb trees.  This one I have to keep practicing. But I did climb a pole with my bare feet!  And I walked on a railing too.  These are two things that I never would have imagined even attempting.  But with Brian’s direction, the skills aren’t actually as hard as you’d think.  Maybe I'll try Parkour next.

I know I’m leaving out so many things I learned, like balancing and jumping and breathing.  But I suggest that the next time the class comes to our area, try MovNat.  It’s for all fitness levels and it really opens your eyes to the fact that the world is our gym – we just need to re-learn how to move in it naturally.
