The Dawn of a New Day

“When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it”

—Excerpted from “The Hill We Climb,” Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s Inauguration Day poem

Black Lives Matter. An MLK, Jr. Day WOD Tradition is born.

At Fog City CF, Black Lives Matter.

On Monday, we'll introduce a new Fog City Community Fitness tradition: an MLK, Jr. Day Tribute workout and community give-back.

The best way we think we can give back to the broader community during COVID is $$$, so we have gathered member input on local groups that serve communities of color in SF that we can lift up and contribute to:

Black. Lives. Matter. Period.

On MLK, Jr. Day, we’ve made classes FREE in hopes to see more of your friendly faces and to maximize our community’s impact: We ask if you join us in doing the MLK, Jr. Day Tribute WOD at FCCF or at home that you contribute to one of these causes and list Fog City Community Fitness in the comments, in addition to your name.

Stacey Abrams

5 Rounds for Time:

10 SA DB Push Press 50/35 (split anyhow)

20 DB Goblet Squats 50/35

20 Sit Ups

46 Double Unders

Fog City CF Tribute WOD: Note that Tribute Hero WODs are typically programmed and recognized by CrossFit for members of the military and first responders who have given their lives in the line of duty which we honor on many holidays at FCCF. This WOD is a living tribute to the hard work, persistence, and impact of Stacey Abrams in supporting grassroots organizers, the right to vote, and equal rights and protection for all under the constitution.

Stacey Abrams embodies our FCCF values: inclusivity, equity, and persistence. She keeps showing up, and pushing the people around her to do the same.

Partner WOD: Christine

Happy Sweaty Saturday! This Christine WOD is a “Benchmark Girl WOD” used in CrossFit workouts to assess an athlete’s progress over time. If your hips are feeling a bit squeaky after Thursday’s burpees/squats, come on in and flush it out with some explosive rowing/running, deadlifts, and box jumps!

And for the Ladies of Fog City, Nevada will be hosting a weekly nutrition accountability check-in this Sunday night starting at 7:30pm. Come with whatever nutrition goal you are working with right now. The format will be to share your goal, say how it's going, and ask for any tips or accountability help you might need. Head over to Slack or Facebook for Zoom details.

Monday, Monday (and Tuesday & Wednesday)

So good to me…

It’s funny that when you get older that you sometimes look forward to Mondays. They can be a bit of a restart, a renewal. This week’s workouts are designed to help you do that, and, especially after last week’s insurrection/coup, is sorely needed.

On a related note, we are starting to program the workouts with the upcoming—2 months away!—CrossFit Open in mind. Registration is live, so get on it! Stay tuned for more info on how Fog City CF will be supporting those folx who want to do the Open (which should be everyone — it’s a fun and a fantastic community-building event).

New year, same crew!

It’s a new year! At FCCF, we promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles all year long. But we also know that a January community health challenge can help build healthy habits. So this year, we’re continuing with January healthy lifestyle challenges. We’ll have four challenges, and you can do one, a few, or all.

  • Less alcohol

  • Less sugar

  • 800g of veggies/fruits (more specifics on this one here)

  • Nutrition overhaul (give yourself a larger challenge for a month! Try Whole 30, macro counting, Paleo, or another option you’ve been curious about.)

Log your nutrition “wins” each day in BTWB and hop over to the FCCF #healthy-habits Slack channel for encouragement, recipe sharing, and debates about what 800g of plants REALLY looks like.

January Challenge Guidance:

  1. Set a tangible goal (use the categories above to set a goal, e.g. no drinks on weekdays, track all my food, 800g challenge, no desserts, commit to a Whole30)

  2. Determine how to track progress (e.g. BTWB, My Fitness Pal, or other app, selfies/measurements/weighing, etc.)

  3. Determine how to stay accountable (e.g. log on BTWB, post to Slack, find an accountability buddy, join zoom sessions etc)

  4. Pearls of advice from Coach Alex: Focus on building habits you can sustain year round, whether it’s working out 3x/week, cutting down on alcohol, or eating 800g of veggies most days. Think about making nutrition a priority in addition to exercise.
