Our masters are KILLING IT!!

Alison & Jon Davey (62 &61)

Over the last few years we have had a great increase in members that are over the age of 50 and god do we love it!! There are multiple reasons why we love it and heres just a few

1. We love to have the "older" members of the local community join us and I say that with a little cheeky smile.

2. They don't realise what an inspiration they are to many of our members, I for one would be grateful for my health and fitness into my 60's

3. They have there own little community within our community. They meet up outside of the gym for coffee/wine and dog walks and much more.

Are you in your 50's or 60's reading this?

If you are then welcome to our website and community, hopefully this is the first step in your journey into fitness or trying something new.

We do hear "Am I too old for CrossFit" or "Do I need to be fit to start CrossFit" and the simple answer to both these questions is NO!!!

No age is too old, our oldest members on regular CrossFit classes is 72, she trains with members from the age of 14, with every age and every ability in between. We are aware that it can be very daunting for an older member to join classes, especially if you are looking to start physical activity so we do have specific 55+ classes two days a week. Having said that I would still try the CrossFit, that might be after trying a couple of the 55+ classes to make you feel a little more at ease.

Why should you be thinking about CrossFit?

We could bore you to death about why you should join a CrossFit gym and train functional fitness but I have listed below research backed evidence with links for you to check out.

1. Maintain strength and muscle as you age – Strength training can help combat age-related muscle loss and maintain physical function. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6304477/

2. Stay active and independent – Functional training can improve the physical abilities we rely on for everyday life. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31626033/

3. Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls – Regular strength, balance and functional exercise can significantly reduce falls in older adults. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12732523/

4. Improve your overall health – Regular physical activity supports cardiovascular health, mental wellbeing, sleep and healthy ageing. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/physical-activity-guidelines-adults-and-older-adults

Nutrition and is 10k steps necessary...

So its that time of the year when Nutrition in at the forefront of our minds, Christmas has passed, the parties have stopped and by now we should have cleared all that additional Christmas food out the house.

Over the following weeks I'm going to write these blogs, nice and simple and thats because Nutrition should be simple - we all after eat to live, right?... The link below is a free PDF document I have put together for you to have a read through and this is what I will be breaking down over coming weeks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TJljmwE-d-TuKaIzpaYkgeXAETx5YDae/view?usp=sharing Todays topic is 10K steps It's all I'm seeing on Instagram and hearing about at the gym. You could be using your time to a lot better!! Let's start with 10000k steps then...... This was never a researched experiment but a marketing campaign by a Japanese Pedometer manufacture in the 1960's and became a go to marker when fitness trackers such as FitBit came about again 10 years ago. Research has since been carried out on the benefits, and there is very little evidence that it helps with weight loss which is why a lot of people are trying to hit a step count. So if weight loss or better nutrition is the goal then what else could we be doing with your time.

1. Prep your next days meals or snacks - use that hour to prepare well balanced meal. or small snacks.

2. Weigh, measure and track your food using an app or food diary - This is only the real way of knowing what we are eating.

3. Work on mobility - Not just for CrossFit but life in general, no one ever complained about having good mobility.

4. Actually run - running with a lowered HR could be helping build a larger aerobic capacity by using Zone 2 training

5. Stay back after class and work on skills, Double Unders, Pull-ups etc - Additional work does not need to be exhausting to see benefits.

6. Lift some weights - Its widely known and very heavily researched thats lifting weights is not only better for our health (list is endless) but again... You never hear anyone complain about getting stronger or been too strong. 🤷🏻‍♂️

7. Go to bed earlier - Sleeping is bar far the biggest recovery aid we have and its free! you could be banking an extra 7 hours sleep a week if you are going out daily to hit a step goal. Thats pretty much another nights sleep.

I could go on but I think you get the point.... Homework for the week is to have a read of the document on the link and set a realistic goal, the goal could be in or out the gym but I bet when you pick one it will start with Nutrition....😀 Please let me know if you have any questions.
