Whenever people tell me that they are getting “bored” with paleo or that they are “looking for a new recipe” I always respond with the same answer.  “Don’t think about what you can’t eat or what you have to eliminate, but rather think of a meal that you enjoy.  Then get creative and find a paleo friendly way to make it.”  For me, it was this recipe below.  I love pad thai and it popped into my mind this weekend.  We were visiting Nick’s brother who is a vegetarian and made this meal minus the meat.  It was a huge hit!  Everyone loved it so I thought I would share.  I can’t wait to make it again! Enjoy!  TIFF Paleo Pad Thai paleo pad thai Ingredients 1 lb chicken, shrimp, sirloin or duck 1/4 c  coconut oil 4 zucchinis 4 summer squash 4 carrots 1 onion 4 cloves garlic 2...Read more

Today’s workout has a tricky move called a Hang Power Clean, please check out this video (Hang Power Clean Demo)  to study up! Here are a few points to notice when watching (and practicing) during today’s workout: 1) He is starting in a hang position, after he stands up tall, he then brings the bar to the top of his knees, and starts his pull from there. 2) He then gets full extension, in which his hips, knees and shoulders are fully extended before he even tries to bend his elbows to”pull” on the bar. (Other than connecting your body to the bar, your arms should have nothing to do with moving the barbell upward until after you come to full extension). 3) He then swings his elbows through until he is in a good “racked” position, with bar resting on shoulders, not in hands, elbows facing out, not down. Lets see how your hangin’ today!...Read more
