Don't afraid to take that step into pursuing your goals and dreams. Make this week that step you take!

Keep things simple, even when it comes to portion control. This post by makes it easy to understand. I hope this helps!

. Easy✋ Portion 🤜 Control👍 ——— The two most important pieces of any successful nutrition plan: ⠀ 1. Food Quality 2. Food Quantity ⠀ Food Quality is straightforward. Whether your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, or maintain a healthy body, the bulk of your diet should come from micronutrient-dense whole foods 🍎🥗 ⠀ But(t🍑) the problem for most struggling dieters isn’t WHAT they eat but HOW MUCH (Food Quantity). ⠀ And a big reason why is that most people are terrible at estimating proper portion sizes. Studies show time and time again that people grossly underestimate their calorie intake and their portion sizes. ⠀ If you’ve been struggling to lose weight despite exercising hard & eating healthy, here’s what I’d recommend doing: ⠀ First, start tracking 📝. Use an app 📲 like MyFitnessPal, Mike’s Macros, Lifesum... anything to log what you’re stuffing down your pie hole on the reg 😬 ⠀ Second, I’d start measuring your food. Ideally with a food scale ⚖️. Reason being, it’s the best way to ensure what you’re tracking is actually what you’re eating! ⠀ No, you don’t have to use it forever.... ⠀ But when you’re just starting out, or you just wanna cut some fat, a food scale is a fantabulous tool to have at your disposal. ⠀ There will inevitably be situations — restaurants, parties, etc. — where you don’t have a scale, though... ⠀ That’s where this graphic comes in! ⠀ This easy portion control guide is to help you stay mindful & better estimate your portion sizes. ⠀ This guide is especially useful for estimating portions for higher-calorie foods like nuts, dressings, oils, cheeses, Nutella, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, cake icing, the cinnamon buttery spready stuff you get from Texas Roadhouse... ⠀ Sorry. Got distracted for a second 🤤 ⠀ Point is, tracking is super helpful, and while it’s best to use a scale to measure your food, this easy portion guide can help too. ⠀ Is it perfect? Nope. But it's better than saying, “eff it imma eat errrthang!” ⠀ Now, instead of saying: ”I had chicken, mixed veggies, and rice.” ⠀ You can say: ”I had roughly 6 ounces of chicken, 1 cup of mixed veggies, and .75 cups of rice" ⠀ Better than nothing, amirite?☝️🤓

If you want longevity in CrossFit and fitness you should definitely read this! I have this conversation multiple times per week with individuals.

with
・・・
A Programming conversation.
_
🔘 You’re not going to the CrossFit Games. (Most likely. If you even have to ask if it’s possible, you’re not going). 🔘 You’re a regular gym goer who just wants to look better naked. 🔘 You’re a dad who just wants to move better so you can kick your kids ass on the playground.
_
Then why train like you’re a CrossFit Games athlete, a professional bodybuilder, or get down on yourself about the girl who’s stronger than you in the gym (for the Dad).
_
It’s a FACT that, at that Professional level of CrossFit and bodybuilding - you’re actually doing your body a disservice. It’s unhealthy, but necessary for people to make money and put food on the table. And for the dad, pushing yourself too hard, too fast, or even getting discouraged and giving up isn’t healthy either. We all NEED to move more as a society.
_
So what’s important then?
Staying motivated is number 1. Take your time to make fresh, unique, and fun workouts.
_
Strength cycles should be short. I LOVE 5/3/1 Wendler cycles for the sheer fact that it works very well and you’re rewarded monthly. It’s easy to follow and the volume is relatively low as well.
_
What about Bodybuilding? I think it’s absolutely necessary 1-2 days a week for most of our goals. In my chalk programming (link in bio) I usually make an IWT once a week with bodybuilding movements. It breaks up the monotony, puts a little more emphasis on cardio output, and gives you a great pump at the same time.
_
CrossFit. I think everyone should be going to some sort of strength and conditioning class at least 2-3 days a week. If you’re over 30, there’s nothing like a classroom setting, fun music, and tons of other people around who are going to motivate the s**t out of you.
_
Team Workouts! These are insane for morale boosting AND for adding a new training stimulus. It doesn’t matter if you’re a CrossFitter or a bodybuilder. There’s always a way to put circuits together that make sense for everyone and produce massive results.

HI EVERYONE!!!😁😁

I'm excited to announce Body Composition Testing at Bear Athletics! Everyone is welcome!!!

"For those of you that might be unfamiliar with the machine, it is called an In-Body. This machine is 99% accurate and is the same company utilized by NASA. It gives extremely accurate and useful data about your body composition You'll find out exactly how much muscle and body fat you have as well as finding out if you have any muscular imbalances."

Normal tests run $25 for members and $40 for non-members. However, if you or a friend/family member want to do the test it will be $20 as long as you use the link below to reserve your spot! If you need a time that is not specified on the sheet just email or message and we can figure something else out.
(email: [email protected])

I highly recommend signing up. I have used it many times and it gives you great data that is very applicable to your health and fitness. If you have any questions please let me know!!

One more thing. If you plan on doing a test it is best to test prior to exercise for the most accurate results. Also, try to avoid drinking an abundance of water or eating a large meal within an hour of your test.

🚨🚨TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY!! 🚨🚨 .
The end of this past spring I was in the most unhealthy state I had ever been in. Once I got home from school, I decided to change my life. I worked out 7 days a week. I ate properly with a whole food, balanced diet. Hard work pays off. And all of this is thanks to my mom, and my gym and awesome coach, Cameron Broderick .
Down 50lbs so far from the beginning of May. Let me tell you something, you haven’t seen anything yet... .
@ Bear Athletics
