Supplement Spotlight
Clearing up the ConfusionWhen it’s time to chill out cannabidiol (CBD) should be a go to supplement in your stash. At CFK, we are confident in the abilities of Julian Marley to produce a supplement capable of reducing inflammation, decreasing anxiety, and giving you a more sound slumber. CBD does not contain the psychoactive compounds that produce the sluggish “high”associated with tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) . Often, people mistakenly identify CBD as THC. Receptors in the brain are highly involved with this “high”. These cannabinoid receptors found in the brain control our pain sensations, appetite, and even our changing moods. One of the brain’s most common cannabinoid receptors , the CB1 , is responsible for the hunger binges and fogginess caused by THC. CBD does not produce these undesired effects because it does not attach to CB1 receptors like THC. No need to be scared! Try it today! Whether your trying to win the battle against inflammation, or hit the sheets early Juju Royal is the way to go!

Weekly WODs
Monday – Colt 45.
We begin class with our regularly scheduled squat cycle. We will shake off Monday’s frustrations with an AMRAP of slam balls, slam ball lunges, and toes to bar. It’s a perfect day to release negative energy on the slam ball!
Tuesday – Thick Rick
Double-unders are hard, but some people seem to make them look absolutely effortless! We will get some practice with the elusive double under, and work a gymnastics weakness at the first part of our class. Our conditioning is going to be a burner with double unders, running intervals, and handstand pushups.
Wednesday – Klokov
We will take 20 minutes to build to a 1 rep max snatch at the beginning of class. The focus for today is to hit the same positions with big weight as you would with lighter weights. The WOD for today will challenge our positioning by elevating our heart rate on the rower, and heading straight into maximum repetition of snatches at lighter loads.
Thursday – Get Moving and Stay Moving
One of the best ways to recover from workouts is to get moving. Day 4 is going to be lower intensity workout that will allow us sufficient recovery before Wodapalooza on Friday. Our recovery WOD includes jump squats, sit- ups, kettle-bell swings, and rowing.
Friday – Wodapalooza Online Qualifier
Ask your favorite coaches on Wednesday night what the WOD is so you’ll be prepared! Otherwise it’s a mystery until then!
Saturday – Level 2
We have a two part workout that consist of heavy deadlifts…everywhere! Our strength session includes a heavy 3 rep deadlift followed by a conditioning workout that may bake your back! Don’t worry we sprinkled in a few burpees over the bar for good measure!
Saturday – Community WOD
We have a very globo gym friendly workout planned for your weekend! We have dumbbell bicep curls, strict pressing, mountain climbers, and box step-ups. Show your friends crossfit isn’t as scary as it seems! Bring them out and, work those beach muscles!
