The faster you move the more rest you get! The bike should take less than 2 minutes, cycling at 55+ rpms. Scale to meet the 2 minute time domain. Here’s where this workout gets fun, YOU get to choose the weight for the thrusters!! Start with a weight that’s light and you can do fifteen thrusters unbroken. Then every round after you may need to break the sets once or twice. The thrusters will take around :60 at most to complete. Then do the chest to bars in one to two sets. Rounds will take 3:30-4:00, so there’s rest built in. Record intervals.

EVENT: Fall 2022 Nutrition Recharge

FALL 2022 NUTRITION RECHARGE

THE CHALLENGE
For those new to Daybreak (and as a reminder for you Daybreak vets), our nutrition recharges are never about crash diets, temporary habits nor unsustainable routines. It’s about educating and exposing you to different ways of eating so that you can choose the best nutritional structure that works into your and your family’s daily routine. In other words, it’s about balance. While we’ll be more structured during the next six weeks by throwing in some points to keep you motivated, we’re hopefully creating some habits that can last you long after the recharge is over.

GOALS OF THIS CHALLENGE
Like our last recharge, there are NO eliminated foods and NO loss of points. Yes, that’s right, you can only EARN POINTS!! Points are earned by making healthy choices like eating fruits and vegetables, drinking water, working out and getting sleep and protein. Plus a few bonus points for completing weekly challenges.

DATES YOU NEED TO KNOW

Challenge Runs:
Starts Tuesday 9/6 and runs through end of day Tuesday 10/4

DETAILS

You can eat ANY FOODS you’d like. However, to help guide you in making better decisions for your overall health and performance, there will be daily challenges.

EVERYDAY challenges:

  • Eat 6+ cups of fruit and vegetables
    • Spinach, kale, swiss chard, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, potatoes, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, berries, apples, pears, kiwi, citrus, melon, papaya, mango, etc.
  • Drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water
    • 120lb x 0.5 = 60# = 60 ounces of water per day
  • Get 7 hours of sleep
    • Naps count toward your total for the day
  • Move your body
    • At Daybreak, at home, anywhere!
  • Protein
    • Eat 1-2 palms of protein at every meal
    • Eggs and egg whites, beef/steak, bone broth, bison, pork, chicken, turkey, duck, fish (tuna, salmon, haddock, cod, snapper, swordfish), and shellfish (shrimp, lobster, scallops, crab), yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, milk, tofu, beans, tempeh, protein powder
  • No Junk
    • No added sugar (maple syrup, fruit and honey are all good), no alcohol, no processed foods (ex: cookies, candies, chips, cereals, frozen novelties, etc.,)

KEEPING SCORE

POTENTIAL DAILY POINTS
Throughout the 4 week challenge you have the potential to earn the following DAILY points

  • Eating Cups of Fruits + Veggies – 1 point per cup with a max of 6 points
  • Drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water – 1 point
  • Getting 7 hours of sleep – 1 point
  • Working out – 1 point
  • Protein – 1 point
  • No Junk – 1 point

If you eat 6 cups of fruits + veggies (6 points), drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water (1 point), get at least 7 hours of sleep (1 point), you workout (1 point),  eat 1-2. palms of protein per meal, and you do not eat any “junk” you EARN 11  points. If you have 6+ cups of fruits+veggies (6 points), drink enough water (1 point), sleep (1 point), but do not workout, do not eat protein at one of your meals and you have a glass of wine, you still EARN 8 points!

WEEKLY BONUS POINTS
Every week there will be a movement challenge that can earn you an additional 3 POINTS per WEEK! Once you complete the movement challenge for the week, write your name on the designated whiteboard and Mel will add three points to your account by the end of the week (Mondays)

  • WEEK 1: 60 Minutes of Mobility/Stretching
  • WEEK 2: 8 Miles of Run/Walk
  • WEEK 3: 7,000 Meter Row
  • WEEK 4: 500 Sit Ups

If a bonus movement is part of the daily workout, it WILL COUNT toward your weekly total!

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Heavy Day! Coaches will help you build to a weight for the deadlifts that you can do for weight reps without failing. Reps five through eight will feel heavy but not impossible. For the presses, build in small increments if you do not have a one rep max. The last couple of reps per set will feel heavy. Remember to pause at the top of the movement and not in the rack position (first rep is always the hardest!) Record your weights.
