Community Rest Day

2009-11-22 Rest Day

Sunday is rest day at 41Fitness.  We will start posting weekly announcements on Sunday.  The 2009-11-08 Sunday post discussed the importance of recovery.

Weekly Announcements

 – As many of you know, we have been adding to our eclectic music library at The Boneyard.  We want to know what pumps you up.  There will be a sign-up sheet at the gym.  Please be sure to provide us with the artist name and song title.

 – Our second batch of tees were ordered and will be available for pick-up on Tuesday night and thereafter.  We will be ordering sweatshirts, hoodies, beanies, and head/sweat bands.  If you are interested in any of these items, pray tell.

 – We will be closed for the Thanksgiving holidays.  We will have morning classes on Wednesday, November 25 but not Wednesday evening.  Our regular class schedule will resume on Monday, November 30.  We will have WODs posted on our Web site for Thanksgiving Day, Friday, and Saturday.  The WODs will be workouts that you can do at home or while on holiday visiting family and friends to work off that yummy turkey dinner.

 – Saturday, December 5 is the 20th Annual Jingle Bell Run.  Join 41Fitness as we run/walk for Arthritis.  Visit Events for more info.  Our hours will be from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on that day.

A message to our members:  Rest today, for training starts again tomorrow.

Happy Meal Blues

Processed food link to depression: research

Processed food can depress your metabolism, immune system, sex drive, and life expectancy.  Now add your mood to the list of things processed foods depress.  If you are thinking that you’ll just pop a Prozac the next time you eat a donut and you will be fine, please reconsider or you will have to pop a dozen more pills to treat the side effects of common anti-depressants.

Disclaimer:  Major depression is serious and should be treated.  Some foods are too dang good to never eat.  But, if you are eating bad foods more times than not, try changing your diet for 30 days.  You will be amazed how much better you will feel.
