the Chair Stretch
We hope that the last week introduced (or reintroduced) some potent mobility practices that you can hit before and after your workouts.
We’ll be retesting the NOT GRACE workout after an EMOM warmup, then testing your muscular stamina, and mental toughness within the week!

RECOMMENDATIONS
The weather is colder and you need to be responsible for your own nutrition. Enter THE INSTANT POT! Usually runs for about $100 so $20 off is nice.
This has replaced our slow cooker and rice cooker in our home. PLUS it does so many other things! Kalua pig/pulled pork in a handful of hours (vs an all-day cook), spaghetti squash from cut to plate in 10 minutes, and you can make cheesecakes?!
Nom Nom Paleo has some great recipes, there’s an awesome facebook group, one dedicated to Vietnamese cooking in the IP, and many dedicated blogs are popping up everyday.
These are the must-have accessories I’d recommend too:
1. Steamer Basket: for veggies and eggs!
2. Utensils: I cook with OXO silicone for everything.
3. Red Hawaiian Sea Salt: my absolute favorite (and most frequent go-to recipe) is Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Pig because the recipe is so simple, but you absolutely need this salt for the right flavor.
Don’t forget to add plenty of veggies! I usually play cabbage and carrots in the recipe at the end.
