CF Balance is teaming up with Power Systems for Paleo Delivery. For interest click here.We need you to submit your interest to determine whether we will be providing this future service.  

Yes indeed, Paleo (what’s that?) is a healthy, tasty eating mode that lots of folks (including many CrossFitters like us) have used to great effect… looking, feeling and WOD’ing better.  But giving Paleo a try and staying with it can be a big shift.  We take some of the shopping and cooking load off your plate. So you can enjoy fresh, yummy, Paleo-compliant meals (and some recipe inspiration for your kitchen), without the time and brain commitment of going it alone.

Prepared Paleo Meals, Delivered to CrossFit Gyms

  1. Our trained chef makes fresh, original and delicious Paleo meals
  2. We deliver them twice weekly to the Power Supply fridge at your gym
  3. You pick them up after your WOD
  4. You heat ‘em and eat ‘em, saving time and enjoying more variety in your diet
  5. We listen to you and make more food, better

WOD for Wednesday

10X 10 yd Resistance Band Sprints

Complete 5 rounds: 

50 Mountain Climbers (25 each leg)

30 Second Rest

10 Weighted Sit-up with Plate Overhead

30 Second Rest

*Your job holding your partner's band- 5 yd build up feeling tension (job is to pull hard enough to feel aggressive lean)

*Technique- Forward lean, head straight ahead, alternating arms (arms dictate leg cadence)

Tex -- The google docs link on crossfitdupont.com to the women's scores from Total Recall doesn't seem to be working. Can you fix? Thanks!

Good workout Danielle! Showed that I need more strength within my core. I like the partner exercise.

Able to do the 5 rounds in about 8-10 minutes. Extremely difficult to do the weighted sit-ups (2.5#)

13:24 w/25# plate. (45# first round, but proved too heavy)

Haven't done mountain climbers since the Army. Fun.
