CrossFit Ireland Podcast

We all need routine to achieve our goals, but how do we stop it becoming boring?

​Is this just for fat loss?​Will there be recipes?​Whats involved?​

If starving yourself isn’t the way to lose weight, what is?⚖️ Calculate your maintenance calories - how many calories you need a day to keep your weight - and reduce the amount by 100-400 calories per day. It’s best if you start with a smaller reduction. For example, a can of coke is 140 calories, a protein bar is 200 calories, a serving of fries is close to 400 calories 🍟🫑 To avoid feeling like you’re starving, it’s important you make sure your new calorie intake is filled with voluminous food. It’s easy to eat a lot of calories in a pizza slice, harder when it’s mixed, colourful veg 🥒

We all love a bit of friendly competition. What are some of the upsides of downsides of competing with your classmates in CrossFit?

Another fun CFI event in the books! So many people pushed themselves to compete and get outside of their comfort zone. As usual, the support, encouragement and craic were top notch!

Your results in the gym don’t determine your worth. While it’s great to have a goal and something to aim for, your value isn’t linked to a number on the scale or on the barbell.

If you rely on willpower or make too big of a change it will be hard to stick to a habit. Try set up your environment to succeed or pick small habits.
