DRS STRONG WEEK 25- PALEO CHALLENGE 1

"STUBBORN about your goals, FLEXIBLE about your methods"

Week 25 is about to get cranked!!! This week is about staying focused and remembering your basics as you are trying to move fast! The percentages are going to be staying the same as last week but we want to bring up the intensity. The main key point is to think of position and movement patterns as you trying to move the object or yourself at a faster pace. I purposely changed the DRS Complex to tuesdays for this week, so that people are not skipping those pressing days which are extremely important and also so you dont get too much into a routine. We are spiking things up into this week and I am trying to move the programming around to best fit 15.4 coming up this friday =) 

In case you missed the posts over the weekend... here they are! Stay tune for the LEAN AND MEAN MENTALITY Blog that I will be releasing this wednesday to talk about fueling for performance, keeping it paleo and keeping it balanced. I would love to hear feedback on that one this week!!

We want to congratulate again our 2015 Paleo Challenge Winners:

1st Place: John La marca- 22 lbs down and his helen time improved by 5 mins ( he actually finished)

2nd Place: Claudio Dominguez- 14 lbs down, 4 % body fat and he finished helen with strict pullups ( improved by 4 mins)

3rd Place: Alex Sanchez- 20 lbs down and 1 minute off her helen time

These 3 individuals have worked extremely hard for the last 6 weeks. The challenge consisted in the following:

1. Eat ‪paleo style nutrition ( meats, vegetables, no sugars, lil starch, low sodium and good fats)

2. Train hard at DRS at least 3 times a week

3. We tested their run, their strength and their gymnastics (body weight movements) in the beginning and at end

4. Body fat scan by Yvonne Tait

5. Measured their Hip/waist ratio and for guys chest/ back as well.

In this pictured combined, there were 57 lbs lost, 25 inches lost between waist and hips and 7 lbs of muscle added. They also improved tremendously (mins) in their Helen time!!

We want you to know how proud of all of you we are and we expect nothing but continuation of this hard work.

DRS Strong Week 382: Do the thing you've been afraid to do!

By Rosario Aguilar • 17 Jan, 2022
Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
