WHAT IS YOUR TRACK AT 404?
Performance - Looking to get better at all of your gymnastic skills? Content with your body weight, but perhaps just want to rearrange a little of that weight? Or perhaps you’re looking to step it up this year with increased participation in crossfit competitions? This is for you!
Weight-Loss - Looking to slim down while becoming a warrior in the gym? You’ll want to try and stick with the Weight-Loss track! Your goals will be working towards a stable workout regimen, learning exactly how much food your body needs, and sustaining higher intensity in all workouts!
Strength - Looking for a big PR in your lifts? Have you been trying forever to put on muscle mass but can’t seem to keep the weight on? Those journeying down the Strength track will come to understand the importance of proper recovery between heavy lifting days, and spend extra time working on muscle memory and mechanics for the perfect lift.
NUTRITION & RECOVERY
Performance - A few tweaks to your current diet can go a long way when eating for performance. The trick is to keep your calories similar to your current diet (if you have been maintaining your weight), but replace some of your less than ideal food choices with cleaner options. For example, instead of eating out for lunch during the workweek, try bringing grilled chicken with brown rice and green vegetables from home. Cutting back carbs and slightly increasing protein can help shape/tone your muscles in conjunction with effective workouts. Focus on exchanging processed foods/added sugars with whole grains, lean meats and heart healthy fats. By choosing lower calorie options, you may be able to eat more than you currently do!
Weight-Loss - Whether you are looking to shed a few pounds or drop some serious weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. This means burning more calories than you take in on a daily basis. The easiest way to cut out unnecessary calories is by limiting sugar sweetened beverages, avoiding extra sauces/condiments and decreasing portion sizes. Fill up on high fiber food items (whole grains, nuts/seeds in controlled portions) and replace high calorie snack foods with fresh fruit/vegetables. Make sure your changes aren’t too drastic in order to avoid overindulging at the end of the day!
Strength - In order to keep weight on and gain mass, a calorie surplus must be created. This means taking in more calories than are burned throughout the day. Rather than focusing on a specific macronutrient (ex. protein or carbs), aim to create a high calorie, balanced diet with
adequate fat, protein and carbohydrates. It can be helpful to prep meals/snacks at the beginning of the week so eating 5-6 meals/day is easy and convenient. It may take time for your body to adjust to an increased volume of food, so choose high calorie, clean food items to make
the process successful!
