What are you doing on your rest days?! Read what Chett has to say and make sure you take care of your body on the days you aren't hitting the gym. 🙌 Repost @brainignition_chett (@get_repost) ・・・ I've gotten pretty interested in how our brain affects athletic performance; things like energy, recovery, weight gain or strength. . . Here's an example: Recovery and "off days" aren't needed to rest your muscles, they're needed to rest your NERVOUS SYSTEM- the network of nerves and cells connecting brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. . . That's because things like lifting weights and running activates the brain's Hypothalamus - which via our pituitary gland - triggers the release of signals cortisol, adrenaline, or release of our stored energy. The brain thinks we are preparing for survival, which is fine, because it's these signals we adapt to, ultimately becoming stronger and healthier. . . But over activating this system has consequences: ⬆Fatigue ⬆Storage of fat ⬇Mood ⬆Risk of injury . . How to improve nervous system health if burnt out from training OR STRESS? . . Foam rolling, deep tissue work, and breathing techniques can lower levels of cortisol and inflammation quicker than just lounging. Proof of this is in your HRV (heart rate variability) which is controlled by your vagus nerve originating in your MEDULLA OBLANGATA (seriously). HRV is an indicator of nervous system health and will return to baseline quicker! It's all connected baby.

CrossFit is more than a just a workout. It's a community. These three ladies train together almost every day. They didn't know each other before they joined West London CrossFit but now they are friends inside and outside the gym. No matter how tired they are after work, no matter how their day went, they know they can come here for a great workout and will have great time doing it! They push each other and cheer for each other, because that's what CrossFit is all about. Come see for yourself! #westlondoncrossfit #lndont #gainz #crossfit #community #londonontario #friendswhotraintogether #dowhatworks #strong #strongwomen #crossfitgirls #morethanjustaworkout #motivationalmonday #allthefeels #gymfriends

It's #transformationtuesday ! Let's hear how joining West London CrossFit changed things for @ddotwilson "How time flies when you are having fun! It is crazy to think that I have been a member at WLC since the doors opened 5 years ago. Actually, let's make it even more legit and go back to when it was The SC. It all started with me attending an in-house competition as a spectator (yes, the pic on the left is me at the comp) and I had no idea that after that day, my life would change forever. I was inspired by not only the vast fitness levels, all competing together, but by the sense of community and amount of encouragement amongst everyone there. It was then that I decided I needed to make a change. I took the plunge and signed up for my membership and haven’t looked back since! I have no idea where I would be now if I hadn’t joined West London CrossFit but I can sure as hell tell you, it was one of the best decisions I have EVER made. I am happier, healthier, stronger and more confident in myself and my abilities. Joining this amazing community has led me to where and who I am today!" #westlondoncrossfit #crossfit #dowhatworks #gainz #testimonial #community #lndont #snatch #weightlifting #strong #momswholift #the519 #legit #londonontario #fitness #confident #changeisgood
