Whole9 Nutrition Workshop

NYC Endurance, Whole9Life, and Crossfit Virtuosity are teaming up to bring you a nutrition workshop!

Join Dallas Hartwig and Melissa Urban, founders of Whole9, for a practical, straightforward, interactive discussion on the importance of nutrition in endurance training and on the role nutrition plays in your overall health and fitness.

When: April 25th 2010. 2-5pm
Where: Crossfit Virtuosity
Cost: $60

In this three hour workshop, you’ll learn:

• How certain food groups are negatively impacting how you look, feel and perform, even if you don’t immediately notice their effects

• What you should be eating to look, feel and perform your best – and why you don’t really need to weigh and measure all your food to achieve excellent fitness levels

• How to break unhealthy patterns, habits and cravings related to food, and change the way you eat for the rest of your life in a healthy, balanced, satisfying and sustainable manner

• How to make food work for you by speeding up the healing process – and how poor food choices contribute to keeping you sick, weak and injured

• How to manage healthy eating under any circumstance – while traveling, at home with the family, during social events or in a business setting.

• The best way to incorporate “cheats” into your diet, enjoying the foods you really want without compromising your overall health and fitness goals
• What we as endurance athletes should be eating as part of our training and on race day

Workshop Instructors:

Dallas Hartwig has a BS in Anatomy and Physiology and an MS in Physical Therapy, and has been a practicing physical therapist since 2001. He has served as co-owner and trainer with CrossFit Whole9 since the affiliate opened in March 2009.

From Dallas: “I believe that a high intensity exercise program is both effective and sustainable life-long, when combined with good nutrition and recovery practices.  I find myself educating my PT patients about nutrition, sleep, active recovery techniques, and stress management practices as often as I do about the physiology of connective tissue healing, lumbar stabilization, or biomechanics. It was this experience that, in part, led Melissa and me to develop a comprehensive and integrative practice (Whole9) to help our clients continue to aggressively chase health and performance without being hindered by nagging pain and injuries.”

Melissa Urban has authored the fitness blog “Urban Gets Diesel” since July 2008, and has served as co-owner and trainer with CrossFit Whole9 since the affiliate opened in March 2009.

From Melissa: “I learned about fitness and nutrition by doing –  researching, participating and learning, experimenting on myself first, then applying those lessons to our clients. Good health and fitness doesn’t have to be complicated, but it is more than just the sum of your back squat plus protein grams. And it’s not just physical – there are mental and emotional components that should be acknowledged as an integral part of your personal evolutionary process. We help people identify factors impeding their progress, change unhealthy habits and behaviors, and attack their objectives in an educated, effective fashion. Our goal is to help our clients clear the path for real health and fitness achievements in a way that feels both sustainable and balanced.”
