TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED: 9/11, CROSSFIT AND BREATH

Lisa Demetriou (pictured below), co-owner of Spartan Performance in Holbrook, New York, was there on 9/11. A former NYPD detective, Lisa participated in the cleanup at Ground Zero for two months, and as a result, suffers from reactive airway disease (RAD).

Lisa was a fit, healthy woman before 9/11, a personal trainer, triathlete, and runner. But within a short time after her exposure to the toxic air at Ground Zero, she began to experience shortness of breath. She noticed that taking a deep breath was labored. She had chronic sore throat, strep, and bronchitis at a frequency she had never before.”Patrick McCarty for Breaking Muscle

DEHYDRATION IMPACTS HEART RATE AND PERFORMANCE

Indeed, a substantial cardiovascular stress was discovered as a result of dehydration. Heart rate changed an average of three beats per minute for every one-percent change in bodyweight resulting from dehydration. These changes result in a reduction in performance beginning at around two-percent loss in bodyweight.”—Doug Dupont for Breaking Muscle

SHIVWORKS EWO CLASS REVIEW

I feel more confident now that I have simplistic, effective options and I better understand the reality involved.

There is a saying in the training world that goes, You don’t know what you don’t know. It is classes like these that bring home the reality that the learning process never stops“.—Lee Vernon for Recoil
