Supple Sunday - 30 Day Challenge

The CrossFit Open is all but over. Congratulations to those Centurions who participated. For those who didn't, challenge yourselves to register next year. Regardless of where you finished in the rankings, the true reward lies in the fact that you were able to test your fitness against the rest of the global CrossFit community. And you survived!

So your body is sore and bruised from the never-ending burpees and you're already wondering how you can improve your fitness for next year's open. Here's a timely challenge for the mobility-minded among us (if you read the 'Supple Sundays' then yes, you are mobility-minded!):

• On Tuesday, April1st, Brooke Thomas, founder of the Fascia Freedom Fighters blog and the Liberated Bodies website, will begin a 30-Day Liberated Body Challenge. 
• What is it? 

The Liberated Body 30-Day Challenge is kind of like an elimination (or detoxification) diet but for movement. The idea being to remove the stuff that hampers healthy ranges of movement and healthy tissue- i.e.: the stuff that causes chronic pain, physical dysfunction, mobility issues, and erosion- and add in the “whole foods” of healthy tissue: understanding how to be best supported in basic movements, how to add in more diversity in your movement ranges, and how to un-glue your glued up bits.

• Who's it for?
• The person who loves to lift heavy things but is starting to wonder if ignoring their shoulder/hip/knee pain is really the best idea.
• The person who is currently healthy but is looking down the road and doesn't want to get bunion surgery and a knee replacement like their parent did.
• The person who sits for work 12 hours a day and has maddening back pain.
• The person who is over-busy and raising a young family and is tired of tuning out their own discomforts due to sheer overwhelm
• Its for you!
• What exactly is it and what do I have to do?
• Go to 30-Day Liberated Body Challenge to read all of the details. It's broken down into 4 weeks segments designed to help you getting moving better.
• Does it cost anything?
• Yup, $12. But that's so much money! Is it really? It's the cost of about 3 lattes, Centurion has no monthly membership fees, and if you want to improve how you move (in and out of the box), then make this investment in your body.

Hopefully, you sign up for the challenge and get moving better. Even if you don't, think about your movements and getting better at them. When was the last time you held the bottom of your squat position for more than 10 seconds?

Stay Supple!!
