All about Orangetheory Q & A

Image
Hey guys! Welcome to the next CNC Instagram Live – Orangetheory addition! For those of you that have just started following along, I’ve been going to Orangetheory (OTF) regularly for about a month and have been absolutely loving it! I actually used to go to another location before and loved it, but it was almost a 30 minute drive – a bit far to take a class, so I wasn’t going very often. Luckily for Mal and I, there’s now a location right down the street from our house! I’ve been getting so many questions from you guys, and I’m more than happy to share my experience! Just remember that whether or not you’re already an OTF junkie or are just curious about trying it out, all of our experiences can be different! Are you ready for Hell Week? Our local OTF is brand new, so sadly we’re not participating in Hell Week this year. It’s definitely a bummer since I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun. We’ve been doing all-new, launch-type workouts, which has been great, but starting November 1st we w

Ancestral Resting Positions: Video Guide

Image
Earlier this year, I collaborated on a pair of papers ( 1 , 2 ) with Matthew Wallden, Global Head of Institute of Education for the Chek Institute and an absolute obsessive when it comes to applying ancestral lessons to modern life. The papers were all about how humans today are failing to honor their tissues at rest: by sitting in chairs, slumping on couches, and slouching at the computer. The sad fact is, we’re ignoring the myriad ancestral or archetypal resting positions that humans have been using for hundreds of thousands of years, and this is having huge consequences on our health. I wrote a blog post explaining the consequences. Not only are modern resting positions destroying the health and viability of our connective tissues and muscle function, they’re even inhibiting our ability to control blood glucose levels. We’re getting injured more often, ending up with terrible conditions like osteoarthritis, and we’re making our already substandard blood glucose control even wor

Weekend High Low High

Hey friends! I apologize for the delayed weekend recap. If you visited CNC yesterday, you might have experienced technical difficulties. My new homepage is causing quite the problems! There was an old plugin that totally threw it for a loop. I *think* we have things worked out now, so, hopefully, it’s smooth sailing moving forward. Technology… blah. The Hauperts had quite a fun fall weekend – with some highs and lows in the mix. I know you guys love a good High Low High blog post (and they’re fun for me to write), so let’s recap with some highlights and lowlights from our weekend! HIGH: Visiting the new Lucky Finn at Merchant’s Row after CrossFit on Monday morning . The original Lucky Finn in Scituate is my favorite coffee shop ever. It’s absolutely adorable and the food and drink it awesome. I actually picked to go there on Mother’s Day last year because it’s one of my favorite places. Long story short, the Lucky Finn people opened a second location 7 minutes from our house, and

Birch is ONE!

Our little baby is turning ONE today! One Year Ago We welcomed sweet Birch into the world ! He came swiftly during the night seven days past his due date. (Much the same way his brother did !) Every time I read each one of my birth stories I get tears in my eyes! I do not plan on having any more babies, but I sure would love to experience those first few days again. They are filled with so much excitement, joy, and adrenaline. Highlights of One Cruising confidently, perhaps taking a single step and falling into me or the couch. Words: “ca” (car), Guh-guh (Gus), Dada, a very rare Mama, bath, guck (truck) Waves bye bye and claps Teeth: two on the bottom Loves: stroller walks, the front porch, his brother’s silly faces, Cheerios, all fruit, exploring, my ponytail (he’s obsessed) Dislikes: being contained, vegetables that are not in a pouch. Still nursing 2-3x per day He is still the sweetest, happiest little guy! Let’s take a trip down memory lane! Newborn November
