BITE-SIZED NUTRITION-DECEMBER 2016

In this month’s Nutrition Notes, we have a great article on how carbohydrates play a key role in overall performance.

Carbohydrate Selections: The Right Carb for the Right Job

Whole, unprocessed carbohydrate sources have significant health and performance benefits that might go unnoticed with macronutrient counting. For example, a doughnut and an orange can both provide the carbohydrate grams one needs, but other constituents should be considered. Even honey has more health value compared to table sugar due to the vitamins and minerals it contains.

This brief describes some of the factors to consider when selecting carbohydrates, including total carbohydrate grams. While the brief is not meant to be exhaustive, this information can help someone make more optimal choices based on needs and goals.

When selecting a carbohydrate, consider these components:

-Total carbohydrate (for body composition)
-Non-caloric constituents (for health)http://journal.crossfit.com/2016/10/carbohydrate-selections-the-right-carb-for-the-right-job.tpl
-Fiber (for satiety)
-Glucose vs. fructose (for recovery)

COACHES CORNER – DECEMBER 2016

This month’s Coaches Corner, is from Coach Craig Marker

Defeat Poor CrossFit Movement With These Work-Rest Strategies

Every minute on the minute (EMOM) and you go, I go (YGIG) training sessions reinforce the quality of movements. In this article, I discuss workouts that reinforce low-quality movements and how we can improve by focusing on virtuosity.
CrossFit is an outstanding training system for many people. Those who would disagree with that statement commonly complain that CrossFit can lead to poor quality of movement. In an earlier article, I indicated that this is not CrossFit’s fault. Rather, poor reinforcement systems lead to poor movements. Let’s revisit these principles before examining how EMOMs and YGIG sessions can help.
