Street Parking Podcast

Kicking off the first week of Sis-tember, we have first challenge in the Sisyphus Gauntlet: The Hill. In this episode, Bill and Karianne give insight into the first week of the Gauntlet and the importance of turning and facing the challenges we face head on

The month of September at Street Parking is all about the Sisyphus Gauntlet. As a community, we put a lot of effort into becoming the best physical versions of ourselves, but what about the best versions of ourselves in the mental capacity? In the Street Parking community, we grow the most through hard things. The month of Sis-tember is all about putting ourselves into a position to grow, even though it's uncomfortable. In this double-episode, Miranda gives some perspective on growth and reintroduces the Between the Ears duo, Bill and Karianne Anthes, on the importance of physical and mental effort. 

The concept of accountability is nothing new to the Street Parking community. That being said, what does accountability look like when it surpasses the individual level? How does your individual accountability shift when you're not the only one aware of your goals?

At Street Parking, our focus is on helping you build a consistent fitness habit. Once you've mastered the basics and are ready for a new challenge, it’s time to level up. But how do you know when to make the change and what steps to take? When to Level Up: Monitor Your Goals: If you consistently exceed the goal ranges in your workouts or excel in specific movements while struggling in others, it’s time to advance. Utilize Coaches Notes: These notes can highlight areas for improvement and guide you on how to tweak your workouts effectively. How to Level Up: 8 Strategies: Set Mini Goals: Challenge yourself with specific elements of the workout, such as going unbroken or reducing transition times. Add an Extra Program: Incorporate additional programs focusing on areas like Endurance or Strength to address limitations or develop interests. Use New Equipment: Change up your equipment to present new challenges and stimulate different muscle adaptations. Work on Weaknesses: Practice difficult movements in your warm-up or as additional work to improve areas you struggle with. ... ... Optimize Recovery: Enhance your recovery with mobility work, proper sleep, and stress management to support your performance. Dial in Nutrition: Improve your nutrition by tracking your intake and focusing on balanced meals, such as incorporating the #800gChallenge®. Listen in for 5&6!  By implementing one or two of these strategies consistently over the next four weeks, you’ll not only see improvements in performance but also gain the motivation to maintain long-term fitness consistency. Ready to elevate your fitness game? Dive into these strategies and embrace the challenge.

The focus now is ACCOUNTABILITY.   No one is coming to save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility. At SP we believe in controlling what we can control - and we know that we are able to control a lot more than most people want to admit.   We know that blaming others, our genetics, or our current circumstances for all of our problems is a waste of time.  We seek ways that we can respond to - or improve our situation.  Even if those actions are small.  Even if it’s just re-framing the way we look at things - until we are better able to take action. On this podcast, Co-Founder Miranda Alcaraz talks one of Street Parkings Core Values, Accountability. 

This week Miranda hops on to give some information about the Street Parking workouts and framework - to help you be as successful as possible with your workouts.  Some of this info is a bit different than other CrossFit based programming you may have used (or still use).  From the inception of SP, we have set out to create our own culture in certain aspects. Thank you for trusting us with your Fitness.  We hope you enjoy and that you find consistency in your fitness!

A child in the Preschool Youth age range generally has the attention span, physical and cognitive and emotional growth, and motivation developed to start introducing fitness and wellness-specific activities. The Preschool Youth age is when kids start to learn how to take turns… but they generally want to be first and focus mostly on themselves and their little world. As they move through these preschool years, they become more willing and excited to try new tasks, are more motivated by playing with their peers, and begin to notice the world around them. Imitation and copying becomes more prevalent, mainly in movement patterns, behaviors, and play. By the end of the preschool age, they want to please friends and adults or coaches and be liked, can follow more simple rules to games, seek independence, can coordinate but also be equally as demanding. They start to understand first and last and turn-taking (and the preferences that go with this), and they know the difference between pretend and real, are beginning to understand time, and so much more.   

Summer is filled with fun, sun, travel, and many social functions. It's a time of year when it's hard to maintain consistency with your nutrition habits because of a lack of routine and more socializing opportunities. The habits you worked on so hard in the first part of the year start to slip away or get put entirely on the back burner until the fall.  But it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing approach to your nutrition in the summer months. There are still plenty of simple habits you can maintain, even in less-than-ideal circumstances, that will go a long way. So, regardless of how long you have been focusing on your nutrition (whether you committed a while ago or want to start building some better habits), we have some tips for you to help you master the basics with your nutrition and maintain success through the summer months.
