Basically, track your food either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday! You can use any app you like, but MyFitnessPal is one of the most popular on the market and completely free.
Curious on how to use MyFitnessPal to track your macros? Here’s a great resource from Working Against Gravity. If you have any questions, drop them in our Facebook Member Group, and we’ll be there to help!
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
In architecture, the keystone is the final wedge-shaped stone put into place at the very top of an arch. It locks all of the other stones into position and allows the arch to bear weight. Without the keystone, the whole thing falls apart.
This concept of a “keystone” is incredibly important in architecture, but it also applies to our personal life as well.
In our daily lives, keystone habits create a cascade of other actions and feelings, both positive and negative. Often times, the keystone habit is just the first domino that knocks over all the others.
For example, when I workout, I eat healthier during the day. I also drink less alcohol. Working out creates a mental narrative (“I’m a healthy person”) that impacts other choices I make. Similarly, if you’ve ever heard someone say, “I only smoke when I drink,” you’ve heard about keystone habits. The drinking, in this case, is the catalyst that cascades into other actions.
The important thing to understand is we can harness this concept of keystone habits to improve our health and maintain motivation over the long haul.

Can’t run? No problem! Just go for a brisk walk. The point is to cover one mile as quickly as possible.
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
We have a few gems including everyone’s favorite—thrusters! We’re also going to utilize tempo quite a bit within strength portions. Even if you only have a light set of dumbbells, slowing down the tempo can make a movement exceptionally challenging. We’ll also be releasing #UndeniableAnywhere Challenges 5 and 6 (along with announcing the winners of 3 and 4).
This upcoming Friday, the second “Support Your Local Box” Fundraiser workout will be announced through CrossFit.com. Once the workout is released, we’ll program it for Saturday. The fundraiser open is free to register, and you can choose to make a donation during the registration if you’d like. All donations go directly to CrossFit Undeniable! You can register at any point over the next three weeks.
Finally, if you’re a member, please make sure you read our latest blog post! It includes details on our expanded equipment loan program, set equipment swap hours on Saturdays, and how you can get your questions answered by our coaches.
Keep training hard!
We’re now over two weeks into a mandatory shutdown from Colorado Governor Jared Polis in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Colorado.
This has been a difficult time for many individuals and businesses across the world. However, we’ve received enormous support from all of our members, and our private member group has been blowing up with videos and images of members getting after their “At Home” workouts. This has been incredibly inspiring to see!
From both Zach and myself, we first wanted to say thank you. We’re incredibly fortunate to have so many amazing individuals as part of CrossFit Undeniable. We’ve always known that, but it has become easily apparent over the past two weeks.
We’ve received a number of questions recently, and we thought it best to provide a quick update on where we’re at currently.

We’re giving you extra time on this one in case you need to pick up extra supplies! This doesn’t have to be fancy or beautiful. We’ve all seen the creations culinary wizards post on Instagram. We’re not trying to measure up! Just make sure it’s homemade and includes a vegetable.
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
Bon Appétit!
We’ll announce the winners of Challenge 1 and 2 shortly! Until then, it’s time to get some leg gainz! Here’s Challenge 3:
“Walking” is just a suggestion. If it feels more comfortable to do reverse lunges in place, that’s totally fine as well. Bonus points if you do them out in the sunshine!
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
Enjoy the leg burn!
Our #UndeniableAnywhere challenges are officially underway! Last week, we had tons of athletes participate in the first and second challenge along with our nutrition-focused Facebook AMA. We also did a virtual member social. It was amazing to see all of your faces!
This week, we’ll continue with challenges three and four. We also spiced up the workouts, adding in some strength for a little extra fitness. Below, you’ll find the at home workouts for each day designed to be completed with a KB, dumbbell, or weighted backpack. For our members, we’ll also be posting daily workout breakdowns on our YouTube channel and Facebook Member Group.
Specifically on COVID-19, we are still planning to reopen on April 18, 2020. We’re continuing to keep our ear to the ground as to whether that’s going to be possible, but as of right now, that’s still the plan. Can’t want to see all of you in person!
We’re running 10 challenges over the course of 4 weeks proving that fitness can happen anywhere. Challenge #1 was pretty straightforward—complete 50 burpees for time. Challenge #2 is about getting outside with a “buddy”:
A “buddy” could be a friend, significant other, family member, dog, cat, child, etc. Just take someone else outdoors with you!
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
See everyone out on the streets!
